get to know me

Aloha, I’m Jaype Sanz!

A passionate professional student, and steward of life that loves to share Yerba Mate, cook Latin food and play in the gardens of earth all over the world.

Over the last two decades, I’ve devoted my life to support individuals from all walks of life dive into a deeper level of their energetic alignment as they connect with nature, revitalize their lives, and embrace plants to return to balance in their bodies.

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m obsessed with all things plants and nature. 

As a child of a multi-generational farming family, I was always curious about life and totally influenced by the plants and animals that surrounded me. I spent my youth immersed in agriculture, and got to know myself through the school of mother nature.

Like most things worth doing, the journey to where I am now wasn’t always an easy road. I left the open agriculture lands for the city lights of Los Angeles to work in the organic food industry and though I was excited to embrace adventure, for the first time, I felt disconnected from my roots and my passion for life.

On paper, it looked like I was doing all the “right things,” but internally I was losing sight of myself and life's purpose. After years of trying to find myself, a painful breakup, and a whole lot of metaphorical growth, I knew in order to become a truly healthy and fulfilled person, I had to do the internal work too.

So I turned back to the most grounding and healing source I could find – plants. Plants became my medicine, again. They gave me a responsibility, a purpose, and supported me to remember who I always have been, and who I really am. This is where Yerba Mate found me and turned my life around for the better.

As soon as I connected my inner experience with my outer world, I saw all the pieces fall into place. And the breakthrough was unbelievable! I felt like a fire was lit under me, and I finally was ready to pursue my path towards horticulture while honoring my authentic self. I joined communities that shared my values, and realized if plants could heal my life, they absolutely could heal other lives too! 

I’ve supported everyone from young students, celebrities, high-profile leaders and families, move through stages of transition, reclaim their power, and step into their most aligned selves - all with the power of plants. I’d be honored to support you do the same.
