OUR STORY

Caitlin and Kelsy met in the pandemic, each obsessed with coldwater. Party planners at heart, they started celebrating everything in the ocean- birthdays, holidays, good days and bad ones. In the time of isolation they sought connection, in fear they searched for joy, and in quarantine they connected to nature’s wild elements. They saw how joy could ripple out, how the ocean connected people, and how coldwater had all the elements to make folks feel fully alive! And so, harnessing this wave of joy, two maine mermaids were born. 

 

Celebrations, and monthly full moon dips grew month over month, and TMM held the space for all folks, from all experiences, to meet, connect, and celebrate together! Through creativity, belly laughs, a hefty dose of adventure, and endless amount of glitter, these two aim to inspire, support, and foster a deep connection to the ocean. They know that the ocean is an equalizer, and coldwater connects us to our powerful selves and the humanity of each other. And now, in this community movement, Kelsy and Caitlin invite you too, to find your most powerful self, and join this Wave of Joy.
