Nayad is the result of an inspiring collaboration between Dutch Ellen van der Linde, MSc, and North-American Professor Jonathan Paul de Vierville. Both focused on reawakening ones purpose through visiting the depths of the unconscious, a unique combination of bathing and dream therapy came into existence.
The name Nayad derives from the Naiads from Greek mythology, elf like creatures that roam along bodies of fresh water and live with its unique frequency. The Naiads were intermediaries between the physical and spiritual worlds, just as water serves as a channel for receiving light and restoring our energy fields in the rituals.
We develop unique concepts, integrating bathing, meditative practices and healing frequency music to create transformative experiences—rooted in Jungian dream psychology. We reimagine the bathing ritual as a pathway for emotional and energetic renewal, where water serves as a safe, receptive medium that bridges the unconscious and consciousness.

Nayad envisions water as more than a physical element—it is a vessel of transformation, a conduit for energy, and a bridge between the seen and unseen. Rooted in ancient wisdom and modern insights, Nayad revives the art of bathing as a ritual of energetic renewal, where frequencies, salts, and intention realign the body’s natural rhythm. Just as the Naiads of mythology were guardians of sacred waters, Nayad creates sanctuaries where water restores, protects, and reconnects individuals with their original light.
Receiving frequencies is done best with a proper shell, one that contains the liquids within and around us. As our physical body soaks and reopens, our energetic body regathers its pieces. The membrane—both physical and energetic—is the threshold of remembrance, the point where inner and outer worlds meet, where forgotten frequencies return home. Just like water holds memory, our own shell must be intact to receive, to resonate, to recall the essence we were born with. In this sanctuary, the fragmented light comes home and becomes whole.
Nayad exists to revive the transformative power of water by reintroducing bathing as a form of energetic therapy. By developing rituals, frequencies, and carefully curated elements, Nayad helps individuals and businesses integrate water as a tool for healing, remembrance, and energetic realignment. With a deep respect for both ancient wisdom and modern insights, Nayad aims to reshape the spa and wellness world, making it a space where true restoration happens—not just for the body, but for the energetic self.
