About our Founders

Jessica Lujan

I grew up in the small rural community of Pojoaque, NM.  I grew up living in close relationship to the Earth, under the cottonwoods and wandering among the juniper/pinon scrublands. My earliest memories stem from being in the garden with my mother, shelling peas and picking wild asparagus.  I began my herbal medicine journey over twenty years ago and have been blessed to have studied with many incredible herbalists and healers. I practice an integrative blend of herbalism which incorporates the many layers of my ancestral lineage blended with my learned knowledge and experience. I have a BA. of Science in Integrative Health Studies from Northern New Mexico College where I focused on herbalism, nutrition, and homeopathy. I utilize traditional healing methods practiced in Northern New Mexico and blend them with a variety of Eastern and Western herbal practices.

I am a mother and have been a full spectrum doula since 2010. I identify as a queer, cisgender femme. I am passionate about providing care to the LGBTQIA2s+ and BIPOC communities. I strive to walk lightly and in connection with Mother Earth and am continually learning from my plant relatives in the ways of healing.

My name is Paloma C. Cruz

I am Xicana, born in Los Angeles, California to an Italian/German mother and an Indigenous Mexica father. My people come from Bohemia and the mountains of Sinaloa, Mexico. I lived in various places throughout my life such as Chicago, Virginia, and North Carolina before making my home in Northern New Mexico, where I have lived for the past 14 years. I reside along the Rio Grande under elder cottonwoods with my wife, teen, and fur babies. I am an artist who paints figurative surrealism. I believe that art is medicine and my paintings display themes of ancestry, healing, and cosmic connection. In 2025 I completed the Tewa Women United - Yiya Vi Kagingdi Full Spectrum Doula Training. I am particularly passionate about providing culturally-rooted postpartum care to my LGBTQIA2s+ community. Over the last three years I have been an apprentice herbalist. For me, herbalism is a way to get in touch with my roots, finding my connection to my grandmother and great-grandmother who farmed and whose lives were deeply intertwined with the land.
