We both recently moved to Sarasota after living abroad: Maria in Singapore and Kyle in Italy. Having lived in 22 different cities between the two of us, we are accidental experts in adapting to new environments.
There’s something so potent about the first couple of years in a new place that really puts you in touch with what you love about community. You naturally feel into the excitement of exploring a new place. You naturally feel into what you miss about where you were. And you naturally daydream about how you want to contribute to your new hometown.
Adapting to Sarasota, we were quickly drawn to one another realizing we shared the same exact idea of how to do that. We both had been tending to a vision of contributing to our community by creating space to gather to explore wellness.

And we wanted this space to have connection at its core. We had a vision of bringing together a range of impassioned wellness experts, and wellness seekers to offer support, learning and community in their quest for mind/body/soul connection.
As practitioners, we treasure the cross-pollenation of different wellness modalities. And we crave collaborations with other vibrant experts and the professional support that comes with that.
Meanwhile, as wellness consumers, we know the magic of being in communities that attract other wellness-seekers.
There’s a connection in these spaces that is automatically supportive, compassionate and vulnerable in the most bonding of ways.
