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.
For a long time, I felt the opposite. I often felt like a kite in the wind — overstimulated, depleted, and constantly trying to keep up.
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. That way of living stayed with me. And when I needed to find my way back to myself, it's what I returned to.
The practices that brought me back — gardening, herbalism, and simple daily rituals — became the ones I wanted to pass on.
But the biggest shift didn't come from doing more.
It came from something simple: what I was drinking every day.
The truth is, I wasn't drinking enough. Plain water felt boring, and I rarely noticed thirst until I was already running so low. When I started making herbal infusions — to support myself through the depletion of early motherhood — I realized how dehydrated I had actually always been.
Having beautiful vessel to pour, and something that tasted good and felt nourishing, made me actually want to drink it. A big teapot of herbs steeping on the counter became a morning routine I looked forward to. And over time, I felt the difference. More steady energy. A calmer nervous system. A deeper sense of being supported in my body.
It wasn't complicated. It was something I was already doing — just done better.
What started in our backyard — a garden and a handful of remedies — slowly grew into a business. Today, Growing Up Rooted is built around one simple idea:
you can support your body every day by replacing water with herbal infusions.
An invitation to welcome the wisdom and deep nourishment of herbs into your body every day, all day.
Everything here — the blends, the rituals, the guidance — is built around that one simple shift.
My work isn't about adding more to your routine. It's about changing one thing — and letting it support everything else.
My hope is to help you feel more nourished, more steady, and more connected to your body — in a way that feels simple and sustainable.
Welcome. I hope this space helps you find the way back to yourself.
–– Daniela
