Who Is Maya Bethke

One Conversation Can Change Everything.

I believe the right friendship, the right opportunity, the right collaboration, or the right relationship can completely change the direction of a person's life.

That's why I created Casa de Bloom.

A Little About Me

I was born in Ukraine and later lived in Israel, Croatia, Cyprus, and the Dominican Republic before eventually making San Diego my home.

For more than a decade, I've been building businesses, creating communities, traveling the world, and studying what truly makes people happy.

Today I divide my time between Kiwi Spa, Casa de Bloom, my son Roni, and creating experiences that bring extraordinary people together.

The Full Vision

In this presentation, I'll share how a childhood lesson from my grandmother eventually became Kiwi Spa, Casa de Bloom, Lux Island, and a growing community built around one simple idea: Value Creates Value.

Before we talk about the vision, take a quick look at the place where it all comes together.

Casa de Bloom is more than a home. It's a place where conversations become friendships, friendships become opportunities, and opportunities become life-changing experiences.

Where It All Started

My Grandmother's Lesson

When I was a little girl, I watched my grandmother help people using herbs, kindness, and whatever knowledge she had. She never charged money. People simply gave back what they could.

Sometimes food.
Sometimes help.
Sometimes another service.

Value for value. That lesson stayed with me forever.

Many years later, it became the foundation for everything I create.

The Philosophy Behind Everything
Most people believe money creates opportunity.
I believe value creates opportunity.
When talented people meet talented people, opportunities appear naturally.
When kind people help kind people, communities grow naturally.
When extraordinary people spend time together, extraordinary things happen.

That belief became the foundation for everything I create.

Value Creates Value.

The Journey That Started It All

Long before Casa de Bloom existed, I spent years building Kiwi Spa. Today, thousands of clients throughout San Diego trust Kiwi Spa for personalized skincare experiences, advanced facial treatments, and transformational results.

Building Kiwi Spa taught me something important:

People don't just want services.
People want experiences.
People want connection.
People want to feel seen.

That lesson eventually inspired everything that came next.

Why I Open My Home

Why Casa de Bloom Exists

Casa de Bloom is my personal home. Every event begins with one simple question: What if extraordinary people had a beautiful place to meet?

Not a nightclub.
Not a conference.
Not awkward networking.
Not endless social media scrolling.

Just real people spending meaningful time together. That's what Casa de Bloom was built to create.

Why Lux Island Exists

Bringing The Human Element Back

After meeting hundreds of incredible people, I noticed something. Many amazing men and women were still struggling to meet each other. Not because they weren't successful. Not because they weren't attractive. But because modern dating often removes the human element.

Lux Island was created to bring that back.

Real conversations.
Real chemistry.
Real connection.

The Marketplace Vision

A Marketplace Built Around Possibility

The Marketplace isn't about products. The Marketplace is about people, opportunities, talents, and possibilities. It gives members a place to showcase businesses, services, creative projects, experiences, products, skills, and ideas.

The events create the introductions. The Marketplace helps relationships continue long after the event ends.

Because sometimes one introduction becomes a friendship.
Sometimes a friendship becomes a collaboration.
Sometimes a collaboration changes a life.

Giving Back

Part of the long-term vision includes supporting animal rescue organizations, community initiatives, educational opportunities, and projects that create meaningful positive impact.

Because success means very little unless it helps others.

What Makes Me Happy

Beautiful conversations Travel Dancing under the stars Personal growth Creating experiences people remember forever Helping people connect Watching ideas become reality

Because at the end of the day, success means very little unless it can be shared.
