Small Group Healings in Woodside, California
Aromatherapy-led sound healing, breathwork, and vocal toning beneath the redwoods of Woodside, California.
Inspired by my signature Aromatic Medicine Healings, these intimate gatherings bring together therapeutic aromatherapy, breathwork, vocal toning, and sound in a private home studio in the redwoods. Designed to support relaxation and reflection, they offer a chance to step away from the pace of daily life and reconnect with yourself.
Gatherings are held bimonthly, last two hours, and are intentionally limited to four participants. Private group experiences are also available.

Private Group Experiences
Private gatherings are available for groups of up to four people seeking a more personalized and restorative experience in an intimate redwood setting.
Each gathering is thoughtfully guided and may incorporate customized aromatherapy, gentle breathwork, grounding meditation, immersive sound healing, tea, and time for reflection and integration. Sessions can be tailored around the needs and intentions of the group, including themes, emotional support, relaxation, grounding, seasonal rituals, fragrance profiles, and overall atmosphere.
These experiences are ideal for close friends, birthdays, intentional gatherings, creative retreats, nervous system support, or simply creating space to slow down together.
Gatherings take place in a private home at the top of Kings Mountain Road, near Skyline Boulevard, just minutes from central Woodside, overlooking the redwoods. Conveniently located for those throughout Palo Alto, Los Altos, Menlo Park, Portola Valley, Los Gatos, and the surrounding Bay Area.
The first step is a complimentary 15-minute video call where we will discuss your group, intentions, desired experience, and any customization for the gathering.
Private group bookings begin at $800 and are intentionally limited to four participants.

The Space

Each guest is provided with a comfortable floor setup featuring padded mats, blankets, bolsters, and optional neck or knee support. Fresh linens are prepared for every gathering, allowing you to simply arrive and settle in.
Each event concludes with a customized herbal tea and time for reflection and integration.
