Episode 36: Valeria De La Pava and Carolina Kohn (@ambrosia_elixirs)

Kristen Bear

Hey y'all!

I'm so thrilled to bring you a very special episode today. I am speaking with Ambrosia Elixirs founder Valeria De La Pava and her chief strategy officer Carolina Kohn.

I met these ladies at a beverage convention in Brooklyn late this spring and was immediately intrigued, not only about the beautiful herbal elixirs I tried but also about Valeria's personal story and connection to plant medicine. 

If you want to dive down that enthralling, inspiring, folklore-esque, path with me please read my full essay on Substack titled The Resurgence of Herbalism and The Return to Feminine Wisdom. (available now)

In this episode Valeria shares how her childhood in Colombia influenced her work and created a deep connection to the natural world. She learned by watching her mother and grandmother using herbs in the kitchen as well as working with indigenous communities in her home country. 

The newly launched Ambrosia Elixirs is finding major success in the non-alcoholic beverage market and can be found in NY's Virgin Hotels as well as luxury spas and farm to table restaurants in The Hamptons.
