Marion, Iowa ยท Mental Health & Wellness Experiences

Come as you are.
Leave restored.

Mama's Sanctuary by Sweet Sofia is a non-profit haven where healing happens naturally โ€” through goat yoga, campfire gatherings, and the quiet magic of connecting with animals, nature, and community.

"At Mama's Sanctuary we empower every person to engage in compassionate self-care. Every person deserves to feel seen, heard, and reminded that they are enough."

Mama's Sanctuary was born from a simple belief: that healing doesn't always happen in a therapist's office. Sometimes it happens in a meadow, with a goat resting its head on your lap, and the weight of the world finally lifting.

โ€” Megan & Sofia Fernandez, Mother-Daughter duo, Founders of Mama's Sanctuary

Campfire gathering at Mama's Sanctuary

Gather Around the Fire

Where connection
comes alive

There's something ancient and healing about gathering around a fire. At Mama's Sanctuary, our campfire evenings are crafted for the moments that matter most โ€” whether you're celebrating friendship, nurturing your relationship, or simply needing a night to breathe.

Ladies Night

A sacred space for women to laugh, share, and simply be themselves.

Date Night

Reconnect with your person under the stars, beside a warm fire.

Friends Gathering

Bring your crew for an evening of stories, s'mores, and soul.

A Place for Everyone

You don't have to carry
it alone

Whether you're a tired mama who needs an hour to exhale, a couple looking to reconnect, or a group of friends who just need to laugh until your sides hurt โ€” there is a place for you here.

Our mini retreats are intentionally small, deeply personal, and rooted in the belief that community is medicine.
