The business was created by a mother and daughters team, Bobbi, Michaela and Lindsay Hartling. The Manchester shop is the original location. The Willimantic shop, called Searching Serendipity Downtown, is the second and sits inside Bliss Marketplace. It is a smaller space that carries metaphysical treasures, botanical and apothecary essentials, handcrafted goods and gifts.

About

Its stated mission is to help guests ease into a slower pace, feel more connected to themselves, and bring more intention, beauty and balance into daily life. The business focuses on natural ingredients, spiritual exploration and deliberate self-care, and says it puts intention, care and creativity into each product and service. It describes its work as botanical in focus.

Holistic salon and head spa services are offered at the Manchester location, and appointments are recommended. They can be booked by phone or online, and online bookings are confirmed by the salon before they are scheduled. Text or email reminders go out for every appointment. Walk-ins are welcome for browsing and product guidance, and for some services when time allows. Willimantic is open Wednesday through Sunday with varying hours and is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

The shop sells botanical apothecary products, herbal skincare, crystals and metaphysical tools, handcrafted jewelry, gifts and natural beauty essentials. The online shop offers curated collections and botanical creations, including handcrafted pieces made by Bobbi and Lindsay Hartling. Orders ship within two to three business days within the United States, and in-store pickup is free at checkout during regular store hours.

Holistic salon and head spa services built on natural ingredients, spiritual exploration and intentional self-care, with independent providers who each bring their own specialties.

The Manchester shop is described as grounding, warm and sensory.
