About Us
Welcome to The Family Tree
Life’s simpler when you live close to
the land. We grow what we can, make what we need, and take time to
notice the small things, the whisper of the wind & the direction it blows, the hum of bees, the warmth & comfort of shared laughter, good company & deep
conversations.
We are continously growing and changing, just like the trees on the land. We are patiently manifesting our creative dreams.
This is a place for people who
would prefer to trade noise for stillness, and who
know that real wealth is found in full pantries, warm hands, and a
well-worn path to the garden gate. Whether it's tending the garden,
gathering eggs, or sharing a meal made from scratch, each moment
holds meaning when we choose to be present. We’re not chasing more —
we’re choosing enough. Enough peace. Enough purpose. Enough
connection to one another and to the land.
If your heart longs for stillness, for
something real and grounded — you’ll feel right at home here in
this little corner of paradise.
Meet the Heart of The Family Tree
At the heart of The Family Tree is Odette — a grounded, intuitive woman and devoted mother of three. With over 30 years of experience in mindful, land-based living and healing bodywork, she brings a deeply personal, heart-led approach to everything she offers.
Odette’s unique style, called Intuitive Bodywork, blends Western and Eastern traditions to care for the whole person — body, mind, and spirit. She also trains others to tune into presence and compassion through this gentle healing.
Her passion extends beyond touch: she nourishes the body and soul through thoughtful catering, feeding guests with care and intention — from intimate retreats to large gatherings.
Movement, breath, and stillness are central to her offerings, including aerial yoga, meditation, and breathwork — all designed to help people reconnect with themselves and the earth beneath their feet.
Rooted in creativity, simplicity, and sacred practicality, Odette’s life reflects the rhythms of nature — from crafting eco-brick walls and tending fire-baths, to gardening, dancing, and walking barefoot on the land.
Through her diverse gifts — massage, sound healing, movement, nourishing food, retreats, creative crafting and sustainable living — Odette invites you to slow down, find your own rhythm, and discover the healing power of presence, even in life’s busiest moments.
