Founder’s Story

Why Alpaca Lemon Exists

My name is Lorren Dianne Ramel Kriso and I’m the founder of Alpaca Lemon Penthouse.

Before This Became a Wellness Space

Before this space became a wellness destination for others, it was my personal home — one I cared for with deep intentionality. What may appear as luxury was, for me, a response to something much more personal.

When Environment Became Essential

In 2018, I was hospitalized due to a serious ovarian condition. That experience triggered a long and difficult journey with Illness Anxiety Disorder (IAD). Everything needed to be clean, calm, and controlled. I changed my bedsheets and towels daily. I steam-cleaned pillows, rugs, and furniture. I eliminated artificial scents, harsh chemicals, and unknown ingredients.

This obsession wasn’t born from luxury — it came from survival.

A Turning Point

In 2022, while living in Bali, I was misdiagnosed again with another ovarian issue. That moment became a turning point. Instead of allowing fear to consume me, I made the conscious decision to heal — at the root.

I entered a one-month naturopathic detox retreat in the middle of the Balinese jungle. I lived off-grid with a healer, disconnected from modern noise. No medication, no cooked food, no meat, no radiations,  no distractions — just organic raw food, fresh drinks, herbal medicine, filtered water, breathwork, and stillness. That experience changed everything. 

Following that, I participated in a deeply grounding ayahuasca ceremony. It reminded me how small we are in this world, and how sacred life becomes when we choose simplicity, humility, and truth. I began to let go of performance. I started living more slowly, more truthfully — without needing to prove anything to anyone.

By early 2024, I stepped away from all social media platforms. I haven’t posted since. Instead, I focused on living fully — offline, intentionally, and in the present. I also dedicated nearly a full year to PTSD recovery through retreats, therapy, and trauma healing.

During this period, I restructured my life:

  • I shifted to a fully organic, whole-food lifestyle.
  • I stopped using and drinking from plastic entirely.
  • I removed all chemical-laden cleaning products, synthetic scents, and toxins from my home.
  • I began incorporating biohacking, functional medicine, and nervous system support into my daily life.
  • My space became my mirror: pure, peaceful, and deeply intentional.

Why “Alpaca Lemon”?

Since childhood, I’ve had two personal obsessions:

🦙 Alpacas, which I loved for their soft fur and calming, grounding presence

🍋 Lemons, my lifelong superfood — bright, cleansing, powerful, and emotionally anchoring

These two symbols brought me peace — and together, they became the name for something bigger than a space: a feeling.

What Alpaca Lemon Represents

Alpaca Lemon Penthouse is not just a luxury Airbnb. It is a physical reflection of my healing. Every detail — from the linens to the air quality — is curated for nervous system support, emotional softness, and sensory peace.

It’s a space for rest, ritual, and realignment.

A place to feel safe, clean, and whole.

A place to return to yourself.

I created it because I needed it.

And now, I offer it to you.

Welcome to Alpaca Lemon.
