About Una...
Shello! My name is Una and I am a professional mermaid! Since 2012, I have been bringing magic and entertaining the Pacific NW at private and community events. I am also the proud organizer and host of the annual Portlandia Mermaid Parade & Festival , Siren's Ball, and Traveling Fanta-Sea Cove. I also provide live underwater shows, in my one-of-a-kind traveling mermaid tank! Please inquire for pricing or to book a unique experience fostering the imagination and inner child in all!
Born in Honolulu HI, my origins are deeply connected to the Ocean. I have always identified as a mermaid. After moving to the mainland I felt a sense of cultural loss, and disconnect from Mother ocean. It would be many years later before I would rediscover her, and find my way back to my true self.
I hold a master's degree in conflict resolution, and a Ph.D in psychology. I have a background in adult education, child development and restorative justice. I integrate my knowledge of child and adult development to encourage non-violent play and transformational healing. As a survivor of childhood trauma and family violence, I have dedicated my life to finding creative ways to help others heal and tap into the heart of creativity and wonder. Imagination is a key to healing!
I am a mother, a wife, a mermaid, an educator, an oracle, an ally, and activist. I have a passion for social change, environmental conservation, and community organizing.
