THE STORY BEHIND
CASA DE BLOOM
From one childhood lesson to a community built on connection, generosity, and growth
Watch Maya’s Story
Before Casa de Bloom, there was a childhood lesson that changed the way Maya saw people, business, generosity, and community forever.
Where It All Began
The inspiration for Casa de Bloom began long before the business, the events, or the marketplace.
She never measured wealth by how much she received.
She measured it by how many people left her home feeling better than when they arrived.
People rarely paid with money.
They brought vegetables, homemade food, flowers, help, gratitude, and love.
As a little girl, I watched people exchange value instead of simply exchanging money.
That lesson became the foundation of everything I build today.
People came to my grandmother after trying everything else.
She helped them using nature, herbs, and remedies she created herself.
Years later, that lesson became Kiwi Spa.
Today, it has become Casa de Bloom.
People Need Places Where They Can Help Each Other Grow
I believe the world does not need another networking event.
It needs more places where generosity creates opportunity.
Where business begins with trust.
Where friendship begins with conversation.
Where people bring what they have, share what they know, and celebrate what others bring. Casa de Bloom was created from that belief.
Meet Maya Bethke
Maya Bethke is the founder of Kiwi Spa and Casa de Bloom.
After building Kiwi Spa in San Diego and serving thousands of clients through natural, results-driven skincare, Maya began creating a larger vision: a community where people could connect in real life, exchange value, support local businesses, create content, build friendships, and grow together.
Casa de Bloom is the next expression of that vision.
