Founder

For founder Erika, growing up in México meant a deep, abiding connection to her culture—its history, its herbal traditions, and its powerful community rituals.

When she emigrated to the U.S. to study design, she soon began struggling with her mental health. It was here, too, that she witnessed the painful lack of equitable access to care for BIPOC communities.

Her first path to healing came in art school: the simple ritual of making things with her hands—a profound connection of body and mind. Two decades later, she continues to seek tools that nurture her well-being.

This personal journey is the heart of Temazcal Life®. Erika founded the brand to share the same holistic wellness rituals that supported her healing. By honoring ancestral rituals, she aims to bring forth the deep wisdom her ancestors used for reconnection—and raise awareness about mental health in the BIPOC community.
