One thing I appreciate about InKind is that it feels intentional. The Jingle and Mingle event in Austin was a reminder that they actually care about the experience, not just the app. Good energy, thoughtful details, and a crowd that made the night easy to enjoy. I use InKind regularly, so it was cool seeing that same attention to detail show up in real life too.

I’ve been carrying so much between content creating and managing a full-time office job that I finally gave myself a reset with Chakra Rose. Anesia guided me through body balancing with stretching, Reiki, and a massage in the saltwater pool that left me lighter, grounded, and refreshed. She’s a licensed esthetician trained at Aveda and a certified doula, and I cannot wait to book her again for a facial to kick start my skincare journey.
