I’m Margarita. The herbalist, the doula, the person making everything and packing your order.
I’m chronically ill and live with chronic pain from a degenerating spine. Some days I have the energy to make things, talk plants, and pack orders. Other days, my body needs me to sit down. I’m learning to listen.
That’s part of why I care so much about community care. I know how lonely it can feel when you’re hurting, money is tight, and you still have a whole life to keep up with. Being believed and having someone check on you matters.
Herbalism connects the care I grew up with to the care I need now. My Mami is part of that. So is my own experience of needing help and figuring out how to ask for it.
I want you to feel comfortable coming to me with questions, even if you’re not buying anything. I’m building this because I love plants and I care about what happens to people. And I’m doing it in a body that needs care, too.
