• Tour a corner of Florida you’ve never explored.

  Florida is known for so many things and yet we hardly relish entertaining anything but the likes of a quiet picnic on an eco tour with friends enjoying a native exotic fruit picnic or booking a mermaid photoshoot on a whim with Orlando Mermaid School where you can transform into a mermaid for a day. […]

• Mermaids are Real

  Water to us is like our second womb. When we are immersed in water we immediately feel a sense of inner peace and healing. Holding our breath underwater is a mediational process and discipline. Mermaids are real through an applied mermaid approach and that begins with a mentality. Ask yourself where you are in your […]

• Snotty Mermaid

  Although being a mermaid advocates for self awareness, self regulation, and self care on every level of the individual, it is not always a fabulous world.
