Hi
We are Alex and Zanna,
We are a queer couple passionate about creating sacred spaces and sensory experiences where people can reconnect with their inner magic, each other, and nature. Believing that true transformation happens through vulnerability, curiosity, and play, we craft experiences that nurture connection, healing, and self-discovery.
Whether leading retreats, hosting ceremonies, curating events, photoshoots, catering, or guiding private sessions, our approach remains consistent: creating meaningful, transformative experiences grounded in authenticity, care, and presence.
Drawing from Alex’s Cuban heritage and Zanna’s English folklore, we incorporate ancestral practices and rituals that deepen the experience and support lasting change. These traditions, along with collected practices from diverse lineages with which we have connected throughout the years, help anchor insights and cultivate creative sacred spaces.
Our goal is to design inclusive, nourishing spaces where everyone feels safe and supported- so they leave feeling at home in themselves, empowered, and connected. More than fleeting moments, we aim to inspire lasting shifts- alchemizing our stories, our experiences, and our trauma by returning to the magic, wisdom, and sacred ritual that always reside within us, waiting to be rediscovered.
I’m Zanna, born and raised in the North of England.
I’ve evolved through many versions of myself to find my purpose, with each chapter shaping the way I now hold space and serve others.
A former choreographer and dance teacher, my path has taken me across the world, weaving together creativity, healing, and leadership in many forms, from managing community projects and restaurants to directing luxury retreat centres.
I’m passionate about the natural world and its incredibly powerful ability to heal. Through yoga, massage, and food, I’m truly grateful to support people to soften, reconnect, and remember who they truly are.

About Alexandra
I’m Alex, a first-generation Cuban-American, born in Hudson County, NJ, and shaped by the energy of NYC’s hospitality and nightlife scene. That fast-paced world taught me adaptability and the value of connection, skills that followed me into a more mindful way of living.
In 2016, I traded city life for the Costa Rican jungle, where I reconnected with the practices that had always been part of me- spirituality and ritual passed down through generations of Cuban healers, and yoga and meditation introduced to me at a young age by my mother. It was there that I began to fully step into my path as a space holder for healing and transformation.
Nature became my greatest teacher, reminding me that true medicine lives in stillness, simplicity, and our connection to the Earth. Since then, I’ve continued to study and share healing practices through movement, breath, and bodywork, guiding others to return to their center and remember their power
