Your body is your only real home on this earth. At Templo, we’re devoted to helping you care for it with the respect and nourishment it deserves. My journey to this realization began at age 13, when I started working at my family’s natural health clinic. I witnessed firsthand how many people were failed by conventional medicine, living with chronic conditions that seemed insurmountable. This opened my eyes to the power of natural, holistic health and the profound control we have over our well-being at any stage of life.

I became a big believer in preventative health—committed to reclaiming our wellness through how we live. Because of this awareness, I experimented with making everything from scratch: fermenting, infusing, and taking responsibility for my own health. This hands-on approach became a guiding force in my life.

When I moved to Costa Rica, I faced a challenge: I couldn’t find any skin products that aligned with my values. One of my favorite self-care rituals is facial massage, and I wanted a luxurious, nutrient-dense, and sustainable moisturizer that felt good on my skin and in my heart. Unable to source one locally, I decided to create it myself. That’s how Templo’s Nourishing Tallow Balm was born, made to honor both the body and the planet. People had incredible experiences with it, and soon my passion expanded into a full skincare line and delicious, handcrafted kombucha.

Creating Templo has been a beautiful by-product of my self-love and self-discovery journey, which has unfolded from age 13 to 25. Today, I feel aligned and excited to share these products and my story with you. This business embodies my purpose: to help heal and empower others.

What Drives Me?
From a young age, I struggled with body image and the pressure of being bullied. Noticing my weight became a constant awareness, and I understood it was a symptom of deeper imbalances. Driven to heal myself, I became a health coach and dedicated years to my journey of self-discovery. Now, I feel ready—ready to offer parts of my heart, soul, and experience to support you in reclaiming your power, your self-love, your health, and your happiness.

Templo is my container for this passion. It’s my way of helping you see that your body is your sacred temple and that caring for it naturally can be transformative. We all have complex, multifaceted stories, but through our shared journeys, we can find healing and empowerment together. Welcome to Templo. Let’s thrive.
