Restorative hospitality
Sanctuary Found
A curated collection of restorative places
A curated collection of restorative stays selected for the way they support rest, connection to nature, lower stimulation, and a deeper sense of place. Each property has been chosen not simply for how it looks, but for how it helps people soften, settle, and feel restored.
Each stay is booked directly with the people who built it.

From the founder
For more than a decade, I’ve been exploring how place shapes the way we feel—from homes and hospitality to the landscapes we travel through. Sanctuary Found grew from that work and from a simple belief: where we stay should help restore us, not leave us more depleted.
This collection brings together places chosen for their ability to support deep rest, connection to nature, lower stimulation, thoughtful hospitality, and a stronger sense of place.
My hope is that Sanctuary Found becomes a trusted way to discover stays that give something back.

What connects them
Not luxury. Not amenities. Sanctuary Stays are chosen for the way the environment supports rest, restoration, and a deeper connection to place.

Notes, films and breakfasts from the places I am visiting and the people building them.
I work with independent hospitality properties, retreat centers, inns, farms, and landowners through restorative hospitality strategy, environmental wellness, design-build, project management, branding, styling, photography, and online setup.
The work
I created Sanctuary Found through years of working with hospitality properties to make them more restorative, more intentional, and more aligned with the people they are here to serve.
Usually, the potential is already there—in the land, the building, the founder’s original vision, and the way the property already feels. What is often missing is the sequencing: how the space functions, how the guest moves through it, the environmental details, the brand, the story, and the systems that bring it all together.
My role is to help uncover what is already working, identify what is getting in the way, and turn the property into a more coherent restorative experience.
That gives you a good bridge into the service packages below.
I’d also replace that stock desk photo later with a real project image from one of your property visits, because this section is specifically about your work and should feel grounded in it.
How I help
Engagements range from a single environmental assessment to a full design-build partnership through opening.
Whether it is already welcoming guests, under construction, or still just land and an idea, I’d love to hear what you’re building and where you feel stuck.
