About our Founders
My name is Jessica Lujan
I grew up in the small rural community of Pojoaque, NM. My ancestral lineage represents the three waves of colonization to come to Northern New Mexico. My fathers side includes both the Indigenous peoples of P'ohwogeh Owingeh and the Spanish invader's who colonized them. My mothers people include Scotch-Irish and European settlers who moved westward and towards the Texas plains and finally settled New Mexico. 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 have a BA. of Science in Integrative Health Studies from Northern New Mexico College where I focused on herbalism, nutrition, and homeopathy. 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. Lujan 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.
