Meet The Founder

 

Ever since childhood, I've been fascinated with the magical world of plants and animals. Plants have played a medicinal role in all of my life, to help me heal from PTSD, severe depression, anxiety, OCD, and diagnosed ADD/HD. From the 1st grade until high school, I took several herbal and holistic medicines, including different types of holistic therapies. I meditated a lot and was involved in martial arts, which helped my mental and physical health even more.

In 2012, while in college, I decided to start working with cannabis, mushrooms, and kambô for their therapeutic and neurological benefits. The work I did with them helped me tremendously in my spiritual, psychological, and physiological healing in ways I never could expect. And in 2019, I made the decision to deepen my passion for holistic medicine. I traveled to Peru and participated in multiple plant medicine ceremonies. It was a very transformative experience.

During my time in Peru, on my last day, I was told by one of our travel guides to “look into mushrooms and start pursuing them”. I didn't know how I would do that, but given that I'd worked with mushrooms extensively for my own healing, primarily through a method known as microdosing, I knew it was possible for me. When I came back from my travels, I enrolled in a professional herbalism program and began formulating and selling herbal supplements through my new business, Soulstice Apothecary. I also opened my mushroom company, Native Mushrooms, where I sell neurotropic supplements for brain health, featuring a variety of mushrooms that have helped me manage my ADD/HD. I eventually incorporated kambô and bufo alvarius ceremonies after extensive mentorship and self-practice. It's with great honor that I serve my community these medicines that enable deep shifts in mind, body, and soul.
