Patty Sanders
Patty Sanders, founder of Vida Botánica, is a Colombian-born herbalist, nutritionist, and sound fairy with a love of play and a deep-rooted connection to nature. Raised on a farm in Colombia, she embraced a natural lifestyle under her mother’s guidance, learned the importance of nutrition and plants.
After moving to New York, Patty pursued a career in nutrition, which she continued after relocating to Indianapolis, where she raised her three daughters. Her passion for plants grew as she studied herbalism, leading to the creation of Vida Botánica and the grassroots program Chicas Fit.
Patty integrates her community garden into her work, teaching women and families about the power of plants while using the harvest to create Vida Botánica’s beauty and wellness products. Today, she runs Vida Botánica alongside her daughter Lianna and granddaughter, Lena.
Lianna Sanders
Lianna’s path into healing work has been shaped by many things, but perhaps most deeply by dance. Since she was young, dance has been her way of praying, processing, and remembering. Over the years, belly dance became a devotional practice—a way of honoring the power and fluidity of the womb, and reclaiming softness as strength.
In recent years, she’s begun weaving these threads into Loba Flow, her personal embodiment practice inspired by the wild, cyclical, and sensual nature of the feminine. Like the plants, this movement is intuitive, seasonal, and wise. It reminds us that our bodies are sacred instruments of rhythm, ritual, and renewal.
Through Vida Botánica, I offer herbal blends, postpartum care, and grounding rituals rooted in the Earth and the body. Everything I share is crafted from the belief that wellness is not something to chase—it’s something we come home to, again and again.
