Our Story
Rob and Kimiko came together in 2021 with a shared vision: to create sacred spaces for those seeking deeper meaning, personal growth, and healing beyond the routines and pressures of daily life. Together, they navigate life as a conscious partnership and a blended family, raising three beautiful daughters, now 22, 20, and 17. Their personal journey and transitions in life -embracing growth, conscious communication, and the challenges and joys of blended family life. This deeply informs their work with clients, allowing them to model authentic relationships and intentional living.
Their vision has manifested in thoughtfully designed spaces in Twentynine Palms/Joshua Tree (Shima Azee) and the Orange County area, offering opportunities for transformation through holistic healing modalities such as Kambo, Shamanic Breathwork, meditation, sound healing, and personalized ceremonies. They recognized the need for a sanctuary where individuals, couples, and groups could step away from the busyness of the modern world, slow down, and reconnect with themselves on a deeper level.
In addition to private sessions and retreats, Rob and Kimiko host “The Gatherings”—community events featuring soundbaths, breathwork, and workshops to support collective healing and personal growth. They also donate their time to lead similar experiences on local beaches, offering the community accessible opportunities to connect, release, and recharge.
As a nonprofit organization, they are dedicated to fostering wellness and transformation for individuals and communities alike. At the heart of their work is the belief that everyone has the capacity to heal, grow, and uncover their true potential. Rob and Kimiko’s combined expertise, commitment to conscious partnership, and dedication to family guide every experience they offer, helping participants access clarity, purpose, and renewed connection with themselves and the world around them.
