Founder

Born and raised in México, Erika developed a deep pride and respect for Mexican culture—its history, herbal traditions, and community rituals. But after emigrating to the United States to study design, she witnessed a lack of equal access to care for mental health in BIPOC communities like hers.

For more than a decade, Erika has grappled with mental health disease. When her disease flares up, basic personal care practices, like taking a shower, become daunting. 

It was in art school, through the ritual of making things with her hands, connecting body to mind, that she found her first healing tools. 

Soon the beauty of nourishing bath products became a part of that. 

The need for daily personal care and mental health awareness in the Latinx community and beyond became even more pronounced during the pandemic. Erika conceived Temazcal Life to offer holistic wellness rituals—the same rituals that have helped her in her healing journey. 

Honoring traditional ingredients, Erika aims to bring forth the wisdom that her ancestors used for reconnection and well-being.
