Absolutely Incredible
“The packaging, the quality and the intention that went into making this product is absolutely incredible.
I am honestly blown away by everything I got. This lotion is so perfect for summer! It's incredibly lightweight and still moisturizing!”
~ Tara
“These products are the best!! I’ve tried so many CBD products, all of them are either not very helpful or sticky and made of gross ingredients. The ingredients in the salve and body are so good for me and for the planet, I really couldn’t ask for more”

“I am a CZU fire survivor, a woman reborn through ashes and uncertainty. For three moons, I was displaced from the sanctuary of my home, untethered from the familiar and separated from the grounding rhythms of my life. In that sacred season of upheaval, I received a healing box , a divine offering that arrived like a blessing from the universe itself. Within it was more than support; it carried comfort, intention, and remembrance.
It helped regulate not only my nervous system, but the energy of my entire family. In a time when I had become disconnected from my own needs, moving only in survival, this gift gently guided me back to myself. It reminded me to breathe, to soften, to listen inward. It awakened the sacred feminine within me, the goddess who still knew how to nurture, restore, and hold light even in the midst of devastation.
I felt seen, held, and wrapped in grace. What seemed like a simple box became a vessel of healing, grounding me back into my body, my spirit, and the quiet power of my own resilience.”
~ Julie Grant,
Boulder Creek CA
Amaya has very special gifts as a healer: During the CZU fire in my area, the tinctures she made helped many hundreds of people I worked with who suffered from smoke damaged lungs, anxiety, stress, sorrow and loss overcome these problems. Other remedies I tried did not even come close to the same results, so I am so grateful for her knowledge, compassion, and donated efforts… As for me, besides the tinctures, I was able to find relief for my shoulder that needed reconstruction my the orthopedist- her CBD salve was one of the only medicines that helped, and I tried over 2 dozen salves. This helps me know that I am a grateful life-long customer and client of her care and products.
Thank you also for your deep listening to your calling! You bless us all.
