Donna Cuffe
Founder & Owner
Donna is married and the mother of 2 amazing young men. She has had a love of crystals from a very young age, and still, to this day, has her very first crystal from her teenage years. Metaphysics and Spirituality has always fascinated her, and she held the concept that there was more to life that what we see with our eyes. In 1997 she attended a Guides and Angels Workshop and this opened the doors for her to look further into Meditation and Healing practices. She became a Usui Reiki Practitioner in 2008, completed a 2 day course in awakening your intuition in 2009 and completed a certificate in Access Conscious Bars in 2017. She is also certified in Children’s meditation and has a strong belief in this practice being introduced to children in kindergarten and schools so it becomes a natural daily routine for everyone. She also enjoys daily walks in nature and fills the rest of her day, working in a Accounts Department
HISTORY OF
DONNA & KERRI
Donna and Kerri met in Year 7, while both attending Oak Park High School. They were inseparable and made a lot of happy memories together over the past 40 years, with a wonderful group of great friends, which they still see today. They continued to be friends after leaving school, and were Maid of Honour in each other’s weddings. They bought houses and raised families, all the while staying close in each other’s lives. In 2017, they travelled to Europe and walked a section of the Camino De Santiago from South of France to Santiago, Spain.
As they have always been like minded spiritually, they often discussed many subjects and during one conversation it came up about wanting to go to a market with a ‘boho, hippy’ feel. After researching on the net, they discovered there just weren’t many places where someone could go and find great clothes, accessories, holistic products, and have a healing or a reading, all in the one space and local to them. So one night over a glass of wine or two they decided that if they can’t find one to visit, they will create their own, and the ‘Market’ manifested itself into reality.
​
So from its humble beginnings in 2015, with just a few stalls selling and offering unique products and services, the market has flourished to become a must go to on a Sunday drawing large crowds each month.
