About Me

Oh hello! My name is Janice (or formally Joanna-Grace) and I am the founder of one hiraya, a boutique sales & marketing studio designed to help small businesses thrive. I specialize in uncovering your competitive edge, crafting strategies that feel personal, and turning your brand’s story into growth — all with intention and heart.

  • Simply stated, my purpose is to help others. I want to help you strategize, brainstorm and execute a sales plan that will make your small business successful.

  • I provide custom sales and marketing solutions for small businesses. Creating the space for a l carte services will ensure that the efforts put forth are the most impactful for your business.

  • My greatest blessing (and biggest flex!) is being mom to my four amazing boys and wife to my husband of 19 years. I’m a total fan of live music, a little retail therapy, and you can usually find me at a pilates, yoga, or spin class — it’s my happy place.

    I’m a natural multitasker and go-getter who loves to get involved — whether it’s volunteering at school and church or serving my community through philanthropy. Doing things with intention is at the heart of everything I do.

    After 20+ years in hospitality sales and marketing, I fell in love with branding and building from the ground up. That passion led me to create One Hiraya — a purpose-driven business focused on crafting connections and helping brands share their story and grow in meaningful ways.

Hiraya Manawari is to live life purposefully.

“The essence of one hiraya is to pursue my vision not necessarily for personal gain , but instead for the benefit of small businesses, fellow entrepreneurs, and the clients, friends, and family around me.” - Janice Gonzales, founder
