Marie Co-Founder

Marie has studied and worked with traditional Japanese crafts such as washi and suminagashi together with artisans, gaining profound respect for the focus and mindfulness that define their work. 

Her extensive travels in Japan have deeply fascinated her, especially the rituals that permeate every aspect of life, from tea ceremonies and onsen baths to shared meals and human connections.

Her interest in Japanese beauty rituals and ancient healing techniques inspired her to work with Japanese Face Lifting, a holistic facial massage that blends acupressure, facial reflexology, and lymphatic drainage. 

A trained and experienced yogi, although she no longer teaches, she continues to practice yoga in her daily life. With a minimalist, slow-living approach to life Marie incorporates calming rituals into her life, embracing tactile experiences, rest, sleep and daydreaming.
