About Us – Theraputic Places
Hello!!! Welcome to my Website!!! I’m Evelyn, but my friends call me Eve.
I’m the writer, dreamer, and heart behind Theraputic Places, a blog for people who are trying to find peace, healing, and maybe even a little magic in the world around them.
Yes — Theraputic, not Therapeutic. That missing “e”? It’s intentional.
Let me explain.
Why I Chose the Name Theraputic Places
The word therapeutic feels cold. Clinical. Like something a doctor prescribes.
But theraputic? That feels warmer. Softer. Human.
It reminds me that healing doesn’t have to be perfect, grammatically correct, or Instagram-worthy.
It just has to feel real.
Theraputic is what happens when you hike a mountain and hate every minute of it, but the air at the top is so fresh, it shifts something inside you.
It’s what happens when you sit alone by the ocean for hours and suddenly feel like your breath has rhythm again.
It’s raw. Imperfect. Unfiltered. And that’s what this space is all about.
Why I Started This Blog
I’ve always believed that the places we go shape the people we become.
But for a long time, I didn’t see myself in the typical idea of “therapeutic travel.”
I once climbed Mount Kenya. Five days up. I won’t lie, I hated most of it. I was exhausted, dusty, frustrated. But when I finally reached Point Lenana and saw the city lights twinkling far below, something shifted. The mountain didn’t heal me, the view did. The relief did. And I realized: maybe the hike wasn’t for me, but that moment was.
Later, I found myself lounging on a quiet beach with sunglasses on, doing absolutely nothing. And you know what? That was my kind of therapy.
That’s when I learned: what’s healing for me might not be healing for you. And that’s okay.
What We Do Here
Theraputic Places is a curated space for discovering places that help you feel again. Whether that’s peace, joy, clarity, stillness, or simply a break from the noise.
But let me be honest: I haven’t personally traveled to every place I write about.
Instead, I rely on:
Extensive research
Authentic client reviews
Collaborations with trusted locals and travelers
Guest writers who’ve lived the experience
So when I recommend a place — whether it’s a quiet beach in Bali, a forest walk in Oregon, or a desert retreat in Morocco — it’s not fluff. It’s based on real insight and real stories.
I do the legwork, so you don’t waste your time on places that only look good on Pinterest.
Who This Blog Is For
This blog is for the people who:
Are emotionally tired, not just physically burnt out
Don’t always vibe with the luxury wellness scene
Want to feel something — not just check something off a bucket list
Are curious about spiritual places, slow travel, digital detoxes, nature therapy, and soul-restoring experiences
Whether you’re a solo traveler, a healing seeker, or just someone who needs to breathe deeper — you’ll find something here for you.
What You’ll Find on Theraputic Places
We cover a wide range of soulful spots and experiences, including:
Nature escapes (forests, lakes, oceans, mountains)
Spiritual travel (retreats, temples, sacred landscapes)
Wellness journeys (silent retreats, breathwork, cold dips)
Urban calm (hidden corners of big cities, quiet cafés, rooftop yoga)
Restorative centers and emotional reset destinations
(we don’t call them “rehabs” — we prefer “restorative spaces”)
It’s part blog, part directory, part lifeline for anyone needing a little escape — inside or out.
Want to Write for Us?
I do accept guest posts, but I’m very strict about quality.
We don’t do clickbait. We don’t fake reviews. We don’t write fluff.
If you’ve been somewhere that changed your life, and you can write about it honestly, clearly, and soulfully, I’d love to hear from you. But this is sacred space, so I protect it with care.

I’m not a licensed counselor, psychologist, or wellness guru.
I’m a curious, reflective writer sharing experiences, stories, and destinations that helped me (and may help you too).
