Nymphia was awesome!

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.

Magical experience for my daughter's 5th birthday

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!

Mermaid Performer Extraordinaire!

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

Mermaid Nymphia had always been fascinated about the ocean and the mythology of merpeople for many years. Having grown up in San Diego, a place known for its rather scenic beach life and home of both Sea World and the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. A place where Nymphia called home for most of her life. It wasn't until after leaving art school in Los Angeles with the aspiration of becoming a costume designer, did the idea of becoming a professional mermaid seemed like a possibility. She felt drawn to the idea of professional mermaiding because as Nymphia herself puts it, it combines all of her passions, including costume design, aquatics, storytelling and theater, as well as working alongside children. With a little bit of imagination as well as encouragement from rather business-savvy family members, Nymphia's story was just about the begin.

Since her initial idea of performing, Nymphia has been delivering mer-formances for about 3 years now, servicing her home seas of San Diego, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area in San Fransisco. Nymphia has made a name for herself performing alongside the sea-sisters of the OB Merpod, Dark Tide Productions LLC, The California Mermaid Convention, and Pacific Coast Mermaids of San Diego, performing for renaissance faires, maritime festivals, and large scale public events alongside the Maritime Museum of San Diego. She has also made frequent appearances on the shorelines of Venice Beach, meeting the locals and tourists who call the beach their paradise.

​With bigger hopes in mind, Nymphia hopes to spread the idea of not only conserving and protecting our ocean species., but to also spread the idea of acceptance and love. As a mermaid of trans-identity, Nymphia wishes to show whoever she meets that anyone can accomplish their dreams, regardless of skin color, gender orientation, sexuality, ​and religion. She hopes that the idea of mermaiding can be a safe haven as well as revolutionizing the passion into something exciting, fun as well as something that can be easily experienced by all.

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 pirate companion Marco Vincenzo Silvani at the events she is booked for. Mostly to assist in maintaining a smooth performance throughout.

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 upcoming live shows feature heavily on dance and synchronized swimming shows made famous by the amazingly talented Weekie Wachee Mermaids of Hernando County 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.
