MEET our visionaries

Our vision is to create a space for self-love, connection and belonging amongst our sisterhood of all cultures, ages and seasons. To learn and grow and to stand in our power as we forge our health and wellness journeys through womanhood.
To remind women everywhere that YOU are the authoritative knowledge of your body.

“Each time a woman
stands up for herself,
without knowing it possibly, without claiming it,
she stands up for
all women.”
Maya Angelou
Modern society has disconnected us from the traditions of the village and ultimately from our authentic self. Our goal is to create a village, a safe space of belonging for women. A place to celebrate womanhood. Together we can inspire and support each other to own our health and wellness, autonomy and narrative and forge our own paths.
A celebration,
for women of all ages & seasons, to take ownership of their health and wellness.
