🌸Flower Moon 🌸

An intimate three-hour gathering for women ready to sit in warmth & ceremony — together.

Guided by Ayurvedic-inspired herbal wisdom, we enter a shared yoni steam ritual as a symbolic act of softening, releasing, and returning to the body. Wearing long skirts for comfort and modesty, we sit in circle — not to cleanse or fix ourselves — but to honor the sacredness of the feminine body.

The rising steam becomes prayer.
Warmth becomes remembrance.
The circle becomes witness.

Our time together includes:

✨ Herbal yoni steam ceremony
✨ Somatic embodiment practices
✨ Deeply restorative sound bath temple
✨ Space for reflection and gentle integration

This is a held, intentional space for women who feel the call to reconnect with their intuition, their lineage, and their sisters in sacred ceremony.

✨ Welcome February, and welcome Imbolc, an ancient Celtic seasonal festival marking the first stirrings of spring, “The Quiet Beginning” ✨

Imbolc marks the midpoint between winter and spring — a sacred pause where the light is returning, even if the world still feels cold and quiet. 🌱

This is the season of Brigid, of fire in the hearth, seeds beneath the soil, and the soft but powerful energy of renewal. Nothing is in full bloom yet… but everything is BEGINNING.

Imbolc reminds us that transformation doesn’t start with big leaps — it starts with intention, warmth, and small consistent actions.
✨A candle lit.
✨A space cleared or cleaned.
✨A decision whispered to yourself: “I’m ready to begin again”.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, tired, or unsure — this is your permission slip.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to START.

✨ Ask yourself:
• What spark is ready to be nurtured?
• What one small action can I take this week toward the life I’m calling in?

May this season help you soften, clear, and gently step forward.
Spring is on its way — and so are you. 🌿🔥

✨Please join us in welcoming Marianne Cadrain, our newest wellness team member!✨

Marianne is a Licensed aesthetician, Relaxation Massage Practitioner, and authentic Hawaiian trained Lomi Lomi practitioner who has worked in a wide range of spa and wellness settings for decades.

We first met back in 2017, where we worked as colleagues at the luxurious Painted Boat Resort Spa. She trained me in some of their most decadent body treatments, scrubs and wraps. It feels incredibly meaningful & full-circle to be working with her once again!

Marianne is currently offering Relaxation Massage, where she weaves together Swedish, Lomi Lomi and Energy Work modalities, creating a customized treatment that is deeply nurturing, grounding, and restorative for both body and spirit. Her intuitive nature invites the nervous system to soften and fully let go.

In addition to her bodywork practice, Marianne is also professionally trained in the culinary arts, and has catered countless special events on the Sunshine Coast over the years — a reflection of her creativity, care, and love for nourishing people in many forms.

I am deeply grateful to have Marianne as part of our team and know our community will feel the same, the moment they get onto her table!
