Between the Leaves: A Journey into Herbalism

 

My path into herbalism wasn’t just a choice—it was a necessity. For years, my skin rejected store-bought products, leaving me searching for something gentler, something real. That search led me to crafting my own skincare and herbal remedies, and in doing so, I uncovered a world of healing that reached far beyond the surface.

As I delved deeper, I realized that true wellness begins in the gut. This understanding pulled me into the kitchen, where I found joy in making nourishing food from scratch. Among my favorite creations? Bagels and brownies—simple, comforting, and crafted with intention.

In 2023, I made one of the most transformative decisions of my life: I chose sobriety. It was during this time that my relationship with tea deepened. I explored blends that could rebuild neurotransmitters, detoxify the liver, and support the body’s natural rhythms. Every cup became an act of healing, a ritual of renewal.

Then, as if guided by fate, I stumbled upon tea leaf reading. One day, while making bagels and listening to an audiobook, the main character read her tea leaves. Something in me stirred. I tried it myself, and it felt like a missing piece of my soul had fallen into place. That night, I dreamed of my great-grandmother, who told me, "I am so proud of you, mija, you have found your power." Later, I learned that she, too, read tea leaves and practiced coffee mapping.

Today, I am honored to carry forward the knowledge and magic of herbalism—sharing my experiences, my remedies, and my heart. Whether through healing teas, handcrafted products, or the whispered messages within the leaves, my mission is to help others discover the profound magic of the natural world.

Welcome to my world—one steeped in tradition, transformation, and a touch of the mystical.
