The Alchemy of Self-Love

Sanara's Journey from Kitchen to Soul

Discover a journey of self-discovery and healing with Sanara, a sanctuary where luxurious skincare meets heartfelt wellness. Conceived in the intimate setting of my Austin kitchen, Sanara was born from my own personal struggle with Psoriasis and a desire to provide a haven for sensitive skin.


The name Sanara, meaning "you will heal" in Spanish, encapsulates our philosophy. The name isn't just poetic—it’s prophetic. Sanara is more than just a body care brand; we are a lifestyle, deeply rooted in the power of self-discovery and inner connection. Drawing from the wisdom of ancestral Latin American traditions—like the healing ceremonies known as "limpias" and handmade medicinal salves—Sanara becomes more than just a product; it’s a way to restore both emotional and spiritual well-being.


As you explore our offerings, know that each one is designed not just to nourish your skin, but to touch your soul. Infused with indigenous botanicals, each product is a tribute to my ancestral heritage and the benevolent power of Mother Earth. Sanara helped me rediscover the vital relationship between my mind and body—a connection too precious to overlook.


Over time, Sanara has grown beyond my kitchen into a universal invitation for self-love and mindfulness. Through your daily rituals of caring for your body, let Sanara help you slow down, breathe, and reconnect with your most authentic self.


With Sanara, you're doing more than simply treating your skin; you’re nurturing your soul and inviting the possibility of healing into your life.




A Testament to Resilience:
Trusting My Inner Voice on the Path to Healing

In 2021, at the young age of 39 and with no family history to warn me, I was diagnosed with Stage 0 Ductal Carcinoma In Situ. It was my own intuition, feeling a lump in my breast, that led me down the path of diagnosis. Despite the initial skepticism from the medical community, I stood my ground. I trusted my body and its signals, advocating for additional tests and treatments. That summer, a bilateral mastectomy became not just a choice but a life-saving necessity.

Fast forward to December 2022—a tiny bump on my breast caught my attention. Once more, the doctors were hesitant, but my inner voice was persistent. Sure enough, I was diagnosed with Ductal Invasive Carcinoma, even after the aggressive step of a bilateral mastectomy. My continued survival is a testament to the power of listening—to knowing your body, trusting your gut, and fighting for your own well-being.

My journey with breast cancer serves as a poignant reminder of the incredible strength we hold within our minds and bodies. It reinforces the mission of Sanara: to create a space for people to reconnect with themselves and discover their own inner resilience. Your body is your life partner, and sometimes it whispers secrets you mustn't ignore. Sanara is more than skincare; it's about fostering that crucial, life-saving dialogue between your mind and body.

Preparation Meets Destiny: How Sanara Became My Sanctuary of Healing and Self-Love

Unbeknownst to me, the creation of Sanara was laying the groundwork for a deeply personal odyssey, one that transcended skincare and ventured into the realm of self-love and advocacy. The rituals of mind-body connection that Sanara encourages weren’t just beneficial for my clients; they were a lifeline for me, a quiet preparation for the challenges that lay ahead.

Learning to listen to my body through the practices that Sanara promotes has been an integral part of my journey through breast cancer. The brand is an expression of my belief in the healing power of nature and self-care—principles that have been life-affirming for me in the most literal sense. Sanara was not just preparing my skin for a brighter, healthier future; it was teaching me to attend to my body’s subtle messages, to honor its wisdom, and to heed its calls for care.

At the heart of it all, Sanara is a tribute to the unbreakable bond between our physical and emotional selves. It's a call to nurture that connection every day, to give ourselves the love and attention we so freely give to others. As I continue on this life journey, I am more committed than ever to Sanara's mission—to help you forge that indelible link with your truest self, for it is in that connection that healing, both physical and emotional, becomes possible.
