Women's Day of Wellness

The recent Women’s Day of Wellness was incredible for the large group of women who were there.   

Here’s a taste of what went on.


Hestia co-founders Mela and Valerie held a supportive and nurturing container in place all day long.

Women chose from among many offerings throughout the day.  They found their way, gently guided through meditation


and partner massage


and thought-provoking, heart-opening discussion.













They laughed, they connected, they turned inward.  They did art, they journaled, they danced, they received body treatments. They found the medicine they were needing.










The April skies were clear and the temps warm enough to beckon us outside, to bask and sit quietly.  Many took the invitation seriously.


A day dedicated to wellness for women is not nearly enough … AND it’s clearly a wonderful start. 


Events such as this would not be possible but for the many hands and hearts coming together to create, design and support the container that held this exquisite beauty.  We're grateful for the contributions of so many who stepped up and joined in.

We're especially grateful for our generous sponsors, Shanti, An Aveda Salon & Day Spa, Vashon PRAHM, The Vashon Women's Health Center, and The Puget Sound Credit Union, who made the Women's Day of Wellness possible.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!
