In this captivating episode of the Creative Sobriety Podcast, host Kristen Bear introduces listeners to Valeria De La Pava, the visionary founder of Ambrosia Elixirs, and her Chief Strategy Officer, Carolina Kohn. Valeria's journey into the world of plant medicine is deeply rooted in her upbringing in Colombia, where she was surrounded by traditional healing practices. Her parents, both scientists, instilled in her a passion for medicinal plants and herbalism, which she further explored with indigenous communities and respected doctors.
After moving to the United States, Valeria expanded her knowledge through studies in alchemy and plant science in Oregon and California.

Throughout the episode, Kristen delves into the feminine wisdom associated with these ancient practices, emphasizing the transformative power of plant medicine and herbalism. Valeria shares her vision for Ambrosia, highlighting the importance of aesthetics, taste, and health benefits in their products. Listeners can discover Ambrosia Elixirs at various hospitality venues, such as the Shoe Soobie Bond House in Southampton and Rooted in Montauk, and online through their website and Instagram.
As Ambrosia prepares for major distribution expansion, Valeria and Carolina are excited to share more about their process, partnerships, and the communities they work with. This episode is an inspiring exploration of Valeria's journey, her dedication to sustainable practices, and the promising future of Ambrosia Elixirs in the functional beverage market.
