Her story, by her keeper

“It witnessed my journey from structure and strategy to fluidity and freedom.”

In 2014, when this beautiful manor and I crossed paths, I was still firmly rooted in a corporate world of suits and stilettos. I was searching for a place to call home, a refuge where I could ground myself. Little did I know, The House of Grace would become not only my sanctuary but a catalyst for a profound transformation.

Within its walls, I uncovered the grace to embrace my purpose, honor my path, and cultivate a life aligned with healing, creativity and conscious living.

Today, I am honored to open The House of Grace to kindred spirits from across the globe: a space rooted in the wisdom of Nature and guided by ancestral teachings, where we nurture not only ourselves but also the land around us.
