The story about us

The story of Tranquil Haven began as a shared vision between my brother and me. Our parents instilled in us the values of compassion, resilience, hard work, and the importance of creating spaces where people can find solace and healing. From an early age, service to others wasn’t just something we did—it was who we were. We dreamed of creating something meaningful, a sanctuary where people could find peace and restoration. But we never could have imagined the journey that lay ahead.

Life, as it often does, had its own plans. My brother’s experience as a program manager at the state center for disabled individuals blended seamlessly with my work as a special education teacher at the juvenile detention center. It was there, among those kids, that I had a realization—what they needed most was a safe place. A calm, secure place to breathe, to heal, to just be. And then it hit me: we all need that. Tranquil—a serene, peaceful refuge. Haven—a safe place. That’s how Tranquil Haven came to be.

I never set out to go into business. My heart was always in teaching. In the evenings, I volunteered at the detention center, teaching meditation, trying to help in the only way I knew how. I even spent time exploring spiritual healing, offering angel readings, and leading workshops, all in search of deeper understanding—of myself, of others, of how we could find peace in the chaos.

Then, in September 2015, everything shifted. I felt a pull to do more, but fear held me back. And then, my mother’s health began to decline. In October, she was hospitalized for heart failure, and by December, she was gone—just two weeks after I retired from teaching. Before she left, she made me promise to keep going, to keep helping people, to not let life hold me back. She told me she would be watching over us, sending the right people our way, guiding us in ways we couldn’t yet see. Her words became my compass.

Our parents were young when they passed. My mother was only 64. My father, just 67. Losing them so close together was devastating. Six months after my mother’s passing, my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. It broke him. I truly believe he couldn’t bear to live in a world without her. He passed away in February 2018. Their loss shook us to our core, but it also gave us clarity. We had a choice—we could let the grief consume us, or we could honor them by building something beautiful. We chose to build.

With every challenge, we found strength. My brother and I leaned on each other, pooling our resources, navigating obstacles we never saw coming, and holding onto the unwavering support of those who believed in us. My mother’s promise to guide us from the other side never left my heart. And through it all, we kept going.

Tranquil Haven was never just about business. It was about purpose. It was about creating a space where people could step away from the noise of the world and find themselves again. Whether through therapeutic massage, holistic services, or wellness programs, we wanted to build a refuge where healing could begin.

One of the most rewarding parts of this journey has been witnessing the impact of Tranquil Haven. Seeing people walk in burdened by the weight of life and leave lighter, hearing their stories of transformation, knowing that in some small way, we have been a part of their healing—it makes every challenge worth it.

As siblings, this journey has brought my brother and me closer than ever. Our shared passion for Tranquil Haven has strengthened our bond and allowed us to carry forward our family’s legacy of kindness and service. We are proud of what we’ve built, and we hope that Tranquil Haven continues to be a beacon of hope, healing, and love for years to come.
