From Endorser to Owner: Donnalyn Bartolome co-owns ZION Dubai with her father
Filipina content creator and actress Donnalyn Bartolome goes international by opening a business with ZION Dubai. She is launching the brand’s inaugural international chapter, a milestone that redefines luxury wellness through state-of-the-art massage chairs and restorative saunas. This also signals the launch of a truly personalized and forward-thinking approach to self-care.
Donnalyn’s connection to ZION began not in boardrooms, but in front of the camera, as the face of ZION Philippines’ flagship Supreme Massage Chair launch. Her genuine belief in the power of well-being is seen deeply within the Philippines, transforming a simple brand ambassadorship into a powerful wave of awareness. Yet, for Donnalyn, this was merely the prelude to another calling.
In a moment filled with emotions, Donnalyn prepared a Father’s Day surprise that went beyond material gifts. She revealed to her father their co-ownership of the ZION Dubai franchise – proof of shared aspirations that became a reality.
For Donnalyn, the transition from endorser to owner carries a special meaning. “Being an endorser was already a privilege,” Donnalyn shared. “But owning ZION Dubai for my family? That’s the purpose. That’s legacy.”
On February 13, 2025, a grand unveiling of ZION’s signature wellness technology to Dubai’s clientele was held. The offerings – meticulously designed ergonomic massage chairs, saunas, and lifestyle solutions – seamlessly blend advanced functionality with sophisticated aesthetics and future-forward health benefits. Crafted to integrate effortlessly into the dynamic pace of modern urban life, each ZION product embodies a core belief: well-being isn’t a fleeting trend, but a future carefully constructed.
Mary Cruz, the visionary founder and CEO of ZION Philippines, beams with pride at Donnalyn’s remarkable evolution within the ZION ecosystem. “ZION is a journey that started in 2020,” she noted. “Seeing Donnalyn grow from ambassador to global franchise owner shows how far we’ve come—and how far we’re going.”
With its confident venture in Dubai, ZION steps onto the global wellness stage with a clear vision and resolve. Leading this ambitious expansion is a young Filipina leader, demonstrating that the future of well-being is built upon a foundation of vision, heartfelt dedication, and a rich cultural heritage.
