THE INSPIRATION

Bringing the jungle home.

Inspired by the experience of showering beneath the mountain jungle canopy of Mexico, we dreamed of creating a sanctuary equally connected to nature, beauty + the present moment. As designers and makers, we wanted to recreate some of that feeling through a Pacific Northwest lens and share it with our community: a place to soften, reconnect + simply be.

WHAT IT'S BECOME

More than a spa visit.

We love that the space can hold so many different kinds of experiences: time alone, a date, an afternoon with friends, a practitioner gathering, a birthday, a photo session, or simply a few hours with nowhere else to be.

At the heart of all of it is the same idea: creating space to slow down, connect + enjoy being exactly where you are.
