Our story
A Nurturing Pause grew out of conversations between the three of us (Laura, Laura & Jessamyn) in 2023. Each of us had separately imagined ways that we might create transformative spaces that allow people to have an escape, a place to rest and feel renewed. At first we weren’t sure what this meant. How could the three of us merge our ideas and make something together?
It started as a text thread where we exchanged ideas. Maybe we could provide curated “Air BnB” getaway experiences? Host local women’s groups for individuals to find support and connection? Host a retreat of some sort?
At the time, we were just dreaming, but we knew, regardless of what we came up with, we wanted participants to feel a sense of belonging, feel cared for and nourished, and to leave with a stronger sense of who they are and how they want to write their next chapter.
