About Me
My name is Christina, and I am the heart behind Moon Heart Apothecary. I am a descendant and member of the Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas, with ancestral roots in La Junta de los Ríos, where the Rio Grande and Rio Conchos meet. This region has been home to Indigenous peoples for more than 3,000 years, recognized as one of the oldest continuously cultivated landscapes in North America. The land, waters, and plants of this desert homeland carry generations of knowledge, and they continue to guide the healing work I carry forward today.
​
Moon Heart Apothecary grew from the teachings of my grandmothers, who passed down knowledge of plant medicines, clay, weaving, and ceremony. Every remedy I prepare—whether a tea, a salve, or a balm—is rooted in ancestral tradition, respect for the land, and gratitude for the gifts it provides.
Beyond creating remedies, I also carry the responsibility of being a Cultural Bearer for my community. As Eagle Staff holder for the people of La Junta, I am entrusted with preserving and passing on the teachings of my ancestors. My work through Moon Heart Apothecary is one way I honor this responsibility—by keeping alive the wisdom of plants, clay, and ceremony, and sharing it with those seeking connection and healing.
​For me, this work is more than creating products. It is a way of preserving culture, honoring my people, and helping others find balance in body, spirit, and community. Every tea, balm, or bundle carries not only medicine, but also prayer, intention, and the stories of my people. Through Moon Heart Apothecary, I share remedies and teachings that keep us connected to the earth and to the wisdom of those who came before us.
