How it all started...
Hi, I'm Sofia! An advocate for holistic healing, a mother, herbal researcher, yoga practitioner, and hold a PhD in Psychology passionate about nurturing holistic wellness and self-discovery.
I created Sofia Luna Healing as a way to offer natural health & healing products designed to support your journey to inner balance. My offerings — crafted with intention and love — aim to heal, rejuvenate, restore, and bring a little magic into your self-care routine.
From an early age, I have been surrounded by the gentle power of holistic healing. Growing up, I had very sensitive skin and occasional eczema outbreaks. Although my parents tried conventional, over-the-counter products for a while, we often found that they exacerbated my symptoms and led to other skin (and health) conditions. As a result, my family turned to alternative health care and natural products as our healing modalities, and they truly made a difference in our lives. Though it wasn’t always affordable, I admired my mother as she would also devote herself to crafting healing products, such as soaps, sacred tinctures and oils, as well as practicing reiki — gifts that she lovingly used with our family and shared at local markets. I still remember often assisting her in the process, as well as taking in the delicate fragrances of her lavender and ylang-ylang soaps, and floral oils. These are scents I often incorporate into my own creations today as a tribute to those cherished moments, in addition to their very healing attributes.
As I moved through adulthood, I experienced chronically dry skin, especially in our Canadian winters. I noticed that finding products with the same authentic quality became increasingly difficult, even in specialized stores. This awareness deepened during my pregnancy a couple of years ago, as I became even more mindful of what I placed on and within my body. At the same time, I was working on
an organic farm, while also devoting my spare time into researching the wisdom of
plants and the art of creating truly nourishing, nature-based products.
So, alongside my partner, Jesse — an organic farmer with over 15 years in the field —
we cultivate many of the plants used in these handcrafted products. This year, our
primary medicinal plant production included: calendula, echinacea, burdock,
thyme, lemon balm, marshmallow, cayenne pepper, comfrey, yarrow, lavender,
eucalyptus, plantain herb, rosemary, sage, ground ivy, hyssop, to name a few....
Together, we honour nature’s profound ability to heal and nourish us, and are
dedicated to sharing this with others. Each plant is nurtured with care and purpose
and this translates into ​the handcrafted products that we create.
​​​​
At Sofia Luna Healing, my mission is to inspire and empower others to embrace a holistic approach to self-care, supporting them in reconnecting with nature’s rhythms.​
​
As a mental health advocate and somatic yoga practitioner, I also incorporate
practices that nurture the body, mind, and spirit. My approach is to offer a safe and
supportive space where clients can explore the deep connection between movement
and emotional well-being.
Whether you’re looking to deepen your relationship with holistic health, explore your
yoga practice, or address specific emotional challenges, I invite you to take a look at
my products and/or book a session with me to begin this journey of healing and self-
discovery. Together, we can cultivate transformation and create a deeper sense of
balance and peace in your life.
