Hi! I’m Daniela,

Growing Up Rooted began as a hope for my girls: that they might grow up feeling steady and connected to the earth beneath them. I’ve often felt like a kite in the wind, and the practices that brought me back—gardening, herbalism, and simple daily rituals—became the ones I wanted to pass on.

What started in our backyard—a little nature school and a handful of remedies—grew slowly into a business that allowed me to both homeschool my children and build something that is truly my own.

I was born in Colombia, among women who wove herbs into everyday life—soothing nerves, tending colds, and caring for the body with what grew around them. My path has taken me across countries and many seasons of life, but I carry their wisdom with me, along with the teachings of others I’ve met along the way.

Here, you’ll find:

My hope is to support your return to the earth, to yourself, and to the rhythms that nourish us. Whether you’re stepping into herbalism for the first time or deepening a practice you already carry, I’m so glad you’re here.

–– Daniela
