Everyone needs to know how amazing Nymphia the mermaid is amazing! She is so welcoming to the children. She immediately gets them involved with her story’s and singing. She goes out of her way to make sure children and adults are enjoying every part of her show. My kids loved the treasure she brought for them. She brought story time, singing, and mer facts to life at the party. The children all took pictures with her and enjoyed her very much. I highly suggest Nymphia for parties. She truly made my daughters day even more special. I will definitely be using her again.

Both mermaids were so awesome, taught the kids to blow mermaid kisses and swim like mermaids!! Truly worth the money.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review Ellery! <3 It was such an honor to get to meet you as well as be a part of this absolutely stellar event you put together! You should be very proud and I hope our next mermaid adventure will happen soon :)
We booked Nymphia for my (mermaid obsessed) daughter's 5th after seeing her first at the festival of sail this year. I had been impressed then with how she always stayed in character even while I was asking about her availability and services.
For our event she was very communicative beforehand, letting me know what to expect. She worked with us to do a stealth entry and exit so that the kids would not see her out of costume. She looked very convincing, and one of the 5 year olds who had been told by friends that mermaids weren't real turned to her mom upon seeing her and said "See, I told you mermaids were real!".
My daughter was entranced by her. Nypmphia sat with her telling her stories and answering all of her questions. She did a lovely story time, sang some songs, and deftly fielded all kinds of questions (you have to think fast on your feet, er fins, when a kiddo asks you if you have a cell phone!).
All in all it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend Nymphia for your next birthday party!

It was absolutely amazing to get to celebrate with Nyssa for her 5th birthday :) Send her lots of mermaid hugs ❤️
As Co-founder of the OB Merpod, it is extremely important for me to find performers that are not only dedicated to their craft, but also committed to being professional and enthusiastic. I had the pleasure of meeting Mermaid Nymphia at the Escondido Renaissance Faire last year. I was immediately blown away by her grace, amazing singing voice and ability to engage guests of all ages at the event. We were nothing short of honored when she accepted the invitation to join our group.
The OB Merpod is an organization that provides mermaid and pirate performers for events all over Southern California. In the last two years Mermaid Nymphia has joined us at several events hosting thousands of visitors. Her costuming and ability to transform is simply amazing! The magic she brings is sure to leave you with memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend hiring her to add that special something to your occasion.

About
Nymphia: The Nautilus Mermaid is a professional mermaid performer based in the beautifully brisk waters of the San Francisco Bay who travels across the California coast to bring magic to both the young and the young at heart.
Born and raised in the beautiful San Diego county, Nymphia started her journey as a mermaid in 2016 after performing at the Escondido Renaissance Festival alongside a local performer group and since then, has truly made a name for herself in the performing industry as both a mermaid, a voice for trans merfolk, and a storyteller specializing in a true sense of immersive lore and story crafting.
With a heavy background in aquatics, (scuba diving, as well as an American Red Cross lifeguard instructor certification under her belt), and a passion for costume design and performance art, Nymphia serves to show those she meets that anyone has the power to chase after their wildest dreams.
Additional Booking Notes
Nymphia will usually arrive at events about an hour or an hour and a half early to provide set up time and costuming. Our mermaid's signature tails are created out of film & SFX quality, medical grade silicone and it does take a little bit of preparation to slip in and out of the tail itself. Some of our set pieces may take some inflation as well, primarily our clamshell set.
Nymphia will almost always arrive with an assistant or lovingly named "mer-wrangler," or her Viking Prince Thor at the events she is booked for. Mostly to assist in maintaining a smooth performance throughout.

Set List
Our typical kids party set for our base 1.5 HR duration begins with photo opportunities with all the children in attendance. We then do our main performance, either an interactive story time, a sing along session or our ocean conservation presentation. (If Marco is booked alongside Nymphia, he has a special pirate show that he does) Once the performance is complete, we dive into the pool for some fun pool games and then a free swim with the kids to close out the event.
For corporate bookings, we usually position the mermaid dry first for photo opportunities before she starts swimming. If the booking is over 4-5 hours long, a small 30 minute break is needed in between swimming sets. For our synchronized swim shows, we will usually perform the swim show and leave the last 30 minutes of the event for meet & greets as well as photo opportunities.
All of our sets vary from event to event and no set schedule is exactly the same. However we will work with you to ensure everyone is on the same page.
Influences & Inspiration
Nymphia: The Nautilus Mermaid was the culmination of a lot of different influences, from princess party entertainment to almost "Disney" styled atmospheric and character performance. Our live synchronized swimming shows draw from our original lore & story as well as take influence from the talented Weeki Wachee Mermaids of Florida.
The core and heart of what we do is heavily inspired by the magic of nautical myth and legend but is presented in a way that is both educational as well. We hope to inspire both children as well as adults to become our next generation of "Children of the Sea" who preserve and protect our oceanic environments.
