About
Hi! I’m Hailey, the woman behind Cave & Canyon. I’ve had many professional lives during my time here on earth; event marketer, radio host, midwifery administrator, wedding photographer and more, but one thing has remained constant: my love for stones. Whether it be stones from the beach, or pretty crystals in souvenir shops, I’ve been fascinated with these beautiful testaments to the wonders of our planet.
In late 2014, while crafting, I began to feel inspired to draw geometric patterns, specifically the Seed and Flower of Life. Shortly there after, I was drawn to placing crystals on these beautiful shapes. Something about it felt so comforting, as if the stones were singing energetically. It wasn’t long after that I began to realize what I was doing was a practice called crystal gridding, something many people do on a daily basis!
Hungry to learn more, I joined a workshop at my local metaphysical bookstore taught by the lovely Raya, who opened my eyes to the power that crystal grids, combined with ones intention, can possess. In April 2015 I began my Instagram account as a fun way to showcase my artwork and stones via social media. It turned out that there were many, MANY like minded souls out there who are also drawn to the magic of gridding, and thus, Cave & Canyon was born.
It has always been my goal to create an environment where everyone, regardless of background, can be accepted, heard, and learn together. We all have so many gifts to share, so why not connect and learn from one another!
Feel free to explore this site as it grows, slowly but surely! I look forward to getting to know you!
Where the Pieces Come From
Every piece at Cave & Canyon is chosen with intention — hand-selected in person, or sourced through personal shoppers I trust from around the world. I don't carry imitation or man-made stones; if something feels off about a piece, it doesn't make it into the shop. Natural variation is part of what makes each crystal unique, and I do my best to photograph every piece honestly, without filters or enhancements, so what you see is genuinely what you get.
Cave & Canyon Today
Cave & Canyon is now an international crystal boutique headquartered in Edmonton, Canada, operating as a private boutique open during select pop-ups, events, and by special access. What started as an Instagram account for sharing crystal grid art has grown into a full shop, but the heart of it hasn't changed — I'm still drawn to the same feeling that started this whole thing: the sense that stones carry their own special energy, and that finding the right one is part of the magic.
