My name is Leilani Díaz, and I’ve been making and sharing whole plant extracts, self-care, oral health, skin care, herbal tea blends, wildcrafted & homegrown offerings since 2015.

I currently live off the grid with my husband Taj and our German Shepherd, Rolando within a remote coastal mountain range— tucked in between National Forest land in the Sanhedrin wilderness of northern California. This area is known as the “empty west”, as the terrain is too rugged for infrastructure. I wander the wilderness studying plants and the relationships that exist throughout the natural world. Preparation, nature skills, and knowledge of the terrain are necessities for my daily life. I like the quiet. We are surrounded by a vast range of wildlife (including black bear, mule deer, quail, bald eagle, wild hare, fox, raven, rattlesnake, and tule elk)—human sightings are much more of a rarity. Life can be lonely but somehow loneliness seems like a small price to pay for the gift to the soul that living in nature is. Clean air, no telephone poles or artificial lights, coyote calls, and the brightest starlit skies you’ve ever seen. It’s a trade-off, and we LOVE visitors (if you’re willing to make the journey). Living here has allowed me to fully dedicate myself to the lifestyle that feeds my soul.

I am a truth and freedom advocate and strive to live my life as close to nature as possible; culturally rebellious by today’s current societal norms. I tend wild spaces and a garden, cook daily, forage often, ferment, and roam these wild lands gathering wild medicines. We are just beginning our hunting adventures. I value family, and am passionate about protecting and advocating for natural free & wild birth, death, child rearing, & community outside of societal norms and the allopathic model. I value accountability, integrity, honesty, authenticity, and transparency. My craft is an extension of my life and my art. I aim to infuse my unique potency and energy into all that I do, touch, or create. I’m very grateful to have the support of people who find value in my natural creations, lifestyle, and my herbalism craft.

I have been hand-crafting whole-plant herbals professionally since 2015. I was using tallow in creams and body butters back when the vegans were attacking me for it. Needless to say I’m quite insouciant in regards to public condemnation or opinion. I am led by my heart, intuition, and the lessons that the years have provided. Making potent, small batch herbals with fresh, whole plant material (and cultivating tangible relationships with the land) is the only way I roll.

Everything that arrives to your door from my shop begins with the land, passes through my own two hands, and finds a home with you and your family.

Albeit an ambitious endeavor I grow and sustainably wildcraft the herbs and plant materials that go into each of my offerings (outsourcing only a small fraction of certain roots and berries while maintaining my focus on organic wildcrafting, gardening, ethics, and sustainability), design and cut out each and every label by hand, and process shipping and handling myself. Our dear local mail squad braves the mountain weekly and takes my packages out into the world. Bless them. I’ve always bottled in glass (never plastic), and “I ain’t never gon sell out and start making concessions in quality”. I create with integrity and that is why I believe that I am still here— successfully sharing with you today. I am grateful.

In my shop you will find potent herbal extracts and oils, thoughtfully devised wellness blends, traditional and effective salves & balms, natural skin care for face and body, herbal oral care, wild mushroom extracts, intentionally blended teas and infusions, and an ever growing array of carefully and lovingly-crafted herbal goods.

I am happy doing this work and walking this path which I find to be incredibly rewarding and unique (although it is my belief that it shouldn’t be niche at all). My goal is to help others weave the beautiful threads of nature through their daily lives. I hope to help others regain a sense of purpose, confidence, and solace through nature connection. My apprenticeship experience is something that I am currently passionate about and working on. Please join me if you feel called.

Thank you for your visit, your support of what I share in my shop, and for all that you share with me in return. I do truly appreciate each and every single soul that crosses my path in this beautiful experience of life.
