The wind moves through the world with strength you can feel, even when you can't see it.

Listen to our interview with Olivia
Olivia Seigle is a Montreal hair stylist with over a decade of expertise, a runaway passion for her craft, and the studio Hed Salons right next door to La Maison Ralia. She is the kind of stylist who turns a hair appointment into an uplifting experience, perfecting cuts, creating radiant colour, and styling for life's biggest moments, all while making you feel as fabulous as the result. A mom to two who lives at 200%, Olivia channels her intensity and creative chaos into her work, and into the photography series she brought to her rooms at La Maison Ralia. Her prints, hair in the wind, motion suspended, the edge of the city wide open, carry the frequency of pure freedom and a love of life that mirrors exactly what you experience in her chair.

Mini Tipi Blanket Choices: Miel in APT 2 Room 103, and Sand in APT 2 Room 104. Every room at La Maison Ralia is layered with a Mini Tipi blanket because we believe in furnishing our hotel through Canadian makers who carry meaning into their craft. Mini Tipi is a women-led, Indigenous owned company whose blankets tell stories rooted in this land, and each Activator chose the one that resonated with them. When you wrap yourself in one, you are holding a piece of that story too.

Rooms designed by Florence Charron of Indee Design. Every room at La Maison Ralia was designed by Florence, whose vision holds the architectural and sensory through line that runs across the entire building.
About the Activator Program
The Activator Program is the heart of what makes a stay at La Maison Ralia different. Every room in our hotel has been designed by Montreal's own Florence Charron of Indee Design, then handed over to a local Activator, a Montrealer whose work, energy, and story shape the soul of the space. Each Activator walked their own Human Design journey to arrive at the decisions they made for their room, so when you stay with us, you are not just sleeping in beautiful surroundings, you are stepping into a curated expression of a real person, their craft, and their gifts to this city.
We chose this model because we believe regenerative hospitality starts with relationship. Featuring Montreal makers, healers, designers, and founders inside our walls is how we keep the local economy circulating, invite guests into genuine connection, and honour the philosophy that has shaped Ralia from day one: we are inviting you to the table. Explore the rest of our Activator blogs to meet the Montrealers behind each room, and discover the businesses we want you to fall in love with too.
