Why “sea Me”?

The name Sea Me is a tribute to my grandmother, who once ran a shop called See Me Gifts & Flowers in Jonesport, Maine. She was inspired by the poem “Crabby Old Woman,” where the last two words — “see me” — caught her attention. To her, it meant more than just a phrase. It became the heart of her shop, a reminder to truly see people for who they are. She carried that into how she treated everyone: with strength, humor, and unconditional love.

Choosing Sea is also a way to honor my father — a man who spent most of his life on the water, whether sailing on oil tankers for months at a time, dragging for quahogs in the atlantic for a living, digging for clams, His heart was tied to the ocean. He taught me that no matter how stormy life gets, hard work and perseverance will always carry you through.

Sea Me also means looking deeper—seeing the true heart behind the person. It’s about recognizing the strength, resilience, and humanity in everyone. ThE “SEE ME”legacy continues to guide me in how I practice and care today.
