Sophia is a Maine native, who grew up in the Belgrade Lakes Region; she enjoys all of the gems Maine has to offer - from coast to mountains! While Maine is where she was born and currently settled, Maine is not the only beautiful place she's lived or seen.
Her love for travel began when she left Maine to attend college in Honolulu, Hawaii, where she studied psychology and alternative healing. By the time she was 25, she had visited 6 continents (Antartica still remains on the list but is on the horizon in 2026!). Her travels exposed her to the concept of healing through food, so upon returning to the states she felt called to enroll in the eating for health curriculum at Bauman College, a holistic nutrition and culinary arts school in Bolder, Colorado. There, she learned how to integrate seasonal, organic, unrefined, and local whole foods, for optimal health and recovery.

CACTUS MOON
Welcome to Cactus Moon… a magical oasis in the high desert.Two and a half acres of high-desert bliss, Cactus Moon sits among desert oak, piñon and juniper studded desert. It's peace. On earth.
Inside and out, asleep and awake, under the covers or under the stars - Cactus Moon offers a big sigh of relief where people come together for a peaceful gathering to connect. Just up the road is the boundary of Joshua Tree National Park and the Big Morongo Canyon Preserve. Cactus Moon offers unobstructed views of the San Gorgonio Mountain and the northern edge of the Sawtooth Wilderness, with Pioneertown just beyond.
You can explore it all.
