Welcome to Inner Oaks Holistic Approach Experiences
We are located in the heart of Quinan, N.S. a quaint French Acadian village in Yarmouth County, about 25 minutes inland from Yarmouth.
We invite you to join us at Inner Oaks for an on-site visit to see our collection of fresh herbs, tour the nursery, enjoy tisane on the covered veranda, take-in a culinary, or soul boosting experience and visit our gift shop.
We are open seasonally by appointment – reach out on email at inneroaks@gmail.com The address coordinates are provided by e-mail once the appointment is confirmed.
Get immersed in the experience of Inner Oaks by seeing our most recent video:
Each September, our community hosts a Labour Day Picnic and in the spring a Wild Game Dinner, put on by volunteers. Both of which take place at our local community hall.
In its day, Quinan was well known for hunting and fishing. People came from all over to connect with our local guides.
One of these guides was Pierre Vacon, a dear departed friend of ours. He told us of the time he had a guest who was so fast and accurate with a rock that he could hunt rabbits and partridge with it. It turns out that it was the famous baseball player Babe Ruth.
We are also known for our dark skies. The ability to see the stars and planets clearly, connects us to mother earth and father universe. We are fortunate to have the Deep Sky Observatory just down the road. There, Tim offers night sky viewing up close with his unique experience. https://www.deepskyeye.com/
Many years ago our community was referred to as “The Forks”, and by our native ancestors as Mawtoqag, where two rivers meet and flow together. The Quinan River flows into the Tusket River.
Inner Oaks is located directly on the Quinan River, not far from where the rivers join. In the spring, while we’re sipping beverages on our covered veranda we often see outdoor enthusiast in canoes and kayaks running the rapids.
We felt this was the perfect place to establish Inner Oaks Holistic Approach Experiences.
The word "Inner" was chosen for inner healing and "Oaks" because the property is lined with oak trees, which represent strength. Their roots intertwine underground with such grace, supporting and communicating with one another. It’s amazing how the older trees look out for the younger ones, guiding them in ways that demonstrates their love and interconnectedness.
Similar to a seed being planted, Inner Oaks will grow and expand in services as we continue to pour our love, attention, and nurturing into this beautiful property. We are looking forward to our blossoms reaching out when the timing is right.
* Currently the herb and gift shop is open seasonally by appointment.
Meet Laura Muise, your host.
Welcome,
When the opportunity arose to build, design, and establish a registered herb nursery and gift shop in Southwest Nova Scotia, Laura Muise embraced this new chapter with open arms and a full heart.
When the opportunity arose to build, design, and establish a registered herb nursery and gift shop in Southwest Nova Scotia, Laura Muise embraced this new chapter with open arms and a full heart.
Born into a large and loving family with seven siblings, Laura grew up by the ocean, where life was deeply connected to nature, sibling rivalry, and hard work. Her family fished, harvested Irish moss, raised livestock, hunted wild game, tended gardens, and foraged wild foods. She credits her strong work ethic to the example set by her hardworking family, who taught her the value of perseverance and dedication.
Laura’s career in hospitality began as a teenager, and she remained in the industry for over four decades. Passionate about her work, she thrived in restaurant and tourism settings, building a reputation for excellence through her commitment to service, creativity, and a genuine love for connecting with people. She attributes her success to joyful determination, an unwavering passion for food, and the steadfast support of her guests and family.
Fifteen years ago, Laura launched Laura’s Tastes, a platform where she shared her culinary adventures, food photography, and travel experiences. She gained a loyal following by showcasing local foods and fresh seafood, documenting regional cuisine through film, and hosting immersive food experiences for visitors.
In time, she took on a new challenge - opening The Hatfield House Restaurant and Culinary Experiences, a distinctive dining destination set in a historic home in Tusket, NS. The restaurant became known for its intimate 65 - seat setting, offering old-fashion foods, fresh seafood, and curated culinary experiences. Laura played a hands-on role in every aspect of the business, working in both front- and back-of-house operations. She infused creativity into every detail - including the menu and the design of herb gardens on the property. In 2017, she made the thoughtful decision to sell the restaurant, choosing to focus on family and new creative pursuits.
Though she had planned to step away from the hospitality sector, life had other exciting plans.
Now an accomplished author, Laura’s book, Inheritance Revealed, is a compelling blend of memoir and spiritual exploration, guiding readers toward deeper self-awareness and authenticity. This transformative work encourages breaking free from limiting patterns and embracing personal growth. Whether seeking inspiration, clarity, or a connection to universal energies, Inheritance Revealed offers a roadmap to healing and expansion. It debuted as a #1 bestseller in spiritual inspiration on Amazon upon its release. It was through Laura’s personal enlightenment that Soul Boost Nova Scotia was created.
Three years before publishing Inheritance Revealed, Laura felt a profound calling back to food and hospitality, this time with a focus on mindfulness and well-being. Spiritually guided, she founded Inner Oaks, a project that aligns with her core values and passion for holistic living. She honours Mother Earth and embraces a health-conscious approach, now offering experiences that nourish the mind, body, and spirit.
Today, Laura invites you to join her for a Culinary or Soul Boost Experience at Inner Oaks - designed to inspire, uplift, and delight, ensuring every guest leaves with a heart full of joy and a spirit ignited by possibility.
