Meet Our Founders

Adriana Ayales

RAINFOREST HERBALIST AND CO-FOUNDER Of BOTANICA

I am the herbalist, medicine maker, educator and founder at Anima Mundi. I’m originally from Costa Rica and started Anima Mundi several years ago in Brooklyn as a means to bridging ancient remedies to the modern world. My heart was to create a true farm to pharmacy experience through the art of medicine making with herbs. We offer a wide spectrum of remedies and plants from around the world, integrating from several traditions that I’ve studied over the years, such as rainforest tribal styles, Ayurveda, Chinese-Daoist Medicine, and European style alchemy. I believe that by preserving these ancient forms of indigenous botany, we keep alive a very sacred aspect to our source. 

Monica Mayer

ENTREPRENEUR AND CO-FOUNDER Of BOTANICA

Hi, I’m Monica, I was born in Colombia and I lived many times in the states. I have lived in Costa Rica for more than 20 years and although I left to study a master’s degree in environmental sciences, my thesis and the rest of each scholastic year, and my heart, are in this beautiful country. One of my missions is to create and share with the world the products that I love and that transform my life. My vision is to be of service to a community that desires to elevate its vitality and connect more deeply with nature. Every day I dedicate myself to integrating practices to manifest the reality I desire. I seek to create spaces where we can all feel in harmony, free of anxiety and in tune with our environment
