Being always on the go to slowing down with intention, presence, and hands in soil, even just for a moment.

Overthinking and overwhelm, to grounding through the senses, where touch, scent, and rhythm become tools for emotional regulation.

Talking about dreams , to planting them, literally, so they’re nurtured like something sacred and alive.

Disconnect and distraction, to real connection with themselves, with each other, and with nature’s quiet wisdom.

Hi, I’m Erika Valdes an occupational therapist,  plant artist and workshop host. 

I turn planting into connection, creativity and  manifestation.   I believe planting is more than putting roots in soil, it’s putting roots in yourself. When your hands are in the dirt, you’re not just planting greenery… you’re planting patience, hope, and possibility.


That’s why my workshops are hands-on, personal, and designed for real life.


They’re not about perfection they’re about presence. Not about having the “greenest thumb” but about having a willing heart.


Whether I’m hosting a vision planter workshop, leading a team through a planting ritual, or helping someone reconnect with themselves one succulent at a time, my goal is the same: to help you bloom from the inside out.


This journey started as a hobby, repurposing leftover wedding succulents and vintage cafetera pots from my Abuela, but it quickly grew into a creative calling. Today, I help individuals, families, and organizations plant with intention, use nature as a mirror for growth, and leave with more than just a pretty planter. They leave with a renewed connection to what matters most.

 
Let’s bring people together through plants, creativity and  connection. Reach out today,your unforgettable workshop or planting station starts here.
