Thessaly Novak is not your typical Vancouver companion. With Czech-Romanian heritage, an ethereal presence, and a mind trained in botanical arts, she’s the kind of woman who finds poetry in shadows and purpose in pause. Her energy is soft but assured—like a violinist who knows silence is part of the music.

And for one overworked client visiting from Singapore, she planned a kind of day that slowed the pulse of modern life.

The Booking: “I Want to Forget the Internet Exists. Just for an Afternoon.”

The client’s request was straightforward but rare in the digital age:

“No phones. No people. Just nature, something ancient, and maybe a quiet ritual.”

Thessaly knew exactly where to go.

The Experience: Forest Clearing & Fire-Warmed Teacups

She met him at the edge of Lighthouse Park, dressed in linen, carrying a hand-woven satchel and a foldable wooden tea tray.
Instead of heading toward the cliffs or the lighthouse, they took a lesser-known trail into the inner forest—where the ferns grew tall and the cedar scent filled the air.

In a small clearing surrounded by moss and filtered sunlight, Thessaly laid out a traditional tea ceremony, using locally foraged herbs: Douglas fir tips, chamomile, wild mint.

There was no speaking at first—just water boiling over a portable iron kettle, and the sound of wind teasing through the trees.

The Moment of Disconnection

As they sipped the pale green tea in silence, the client—initially tense and skeptical—began to relax into the rhythm of the ritual. He asked:

“Is this how you normally spend your free time?”
She nodded.
“This is how I remember who I am.”

They spoke softly about burnout, identity, the feeling of disappearing behind screens.
She didn’t offer advice—just presence.

Before they left, she gave him a small linen pouch with some of the dried herbs they had used.

The Parting Gift

Back at the trailhead, he told her, quietly:
“This wasn’t what I wanted. It was what I needed.”

Inside the pouch was a small slip of handmade paper that read:

“There is no Wi-Fi in the forest, but you will find a better connection.”

He later reached out again—not to repeat the day, but to ask where he could learn botanical tea-making.
