“I am rooted, but I flow.”

Hello, I’m Manuela, and I’m so happy to have you here. Let me tell you where this little corner you’re in was born, and since it carries my name, I’ll also share a bit about myself.

​

First things first, I’m a Gemini. I believe in energy, in the mystical, in the rituals we create to heal the soul, and in intention. I’m curious and creative, and I live between dualities. I have so many ideas and thoughts that sometimes it’s hard to choose just one, and the day often slips by while I dream with my eyes open. But some of those dreams have become real, and that’s why you’re here.

​

Now let me tell you where I come from. I’m Colombian, and I grew up in a small city called Ibagué, which means fertile land. In that place, everything is fresh, everything is natural, and it is home to wonderful people such as farmers and artisans who create with their hands, find value in the simplest things, and have an almost magical ability to transform them into something meaningful, full of intention, and above all, good. Good for the body, good for the heart, and good for the soul. I experienced all of this very closely with my family. My grandparents had special gifts like cooking and baking, painting, embroidery, and carpentry, and these were passed down to some of my aunts and uncles and of course to my parents. I grew up inspired, but with a small voice in my head telling me that maybe I had not inherited even a spark of that creativity.

​

This is where Jose comes in. He is my husband, my right hand, and my number one fan. He was the one who encouraged me and saw something in me that I could not see myself. He gave me the courage and gently pushed me to share what I was creating with the world, to create with intention, and to believe in myself and in the power that the natural and the organic still hold, even today. My husband gave direction to my steps and meaning to what I create. That is why you are here reading this today. So welcome, make yourself at home, and from the bottom of my heart, I hope you find something that makes your soul vibrate.
