\"I wanted to tie breathing into our whole philosophy here. Thyme is somewhere where people come to take a little time, to take a deep breath.\"
It was such a pleasure to welcome Caryn Hibbert, the founder and owner of Thyme, to the Curated Spaces podcast. The remarkable, family story behind this space spans over two decades and encompasses Caryn's own medical background with the power of breath and scent at the heart of Thyme today.
