Alkimila Botanikals
Herbal blends that are synergistically designed with consideration for the spiritual and medicinal properties of plants.
Our blends are handcrafted in small batches using organic and ethically wildcrafted ingredients.
Nature and plants serve as vital sources of inspiration and rejuvenation. They hold intelligence, spirit, and healing powers that support us beyond the physical body. They guide us on many levels, including helping us reconnect with our own healing wisdom and fostering positive interactions with all others around us. They nourish our bodies, elevate our own inner spirit, and ground us in our surroundings. Because healing is a non-linear journey that transcends mere physical well-being, we believe that true healing arises from a holistic understanding of the body as a reflection of its environment, intertwined with the complexities of the human experience. Our connection to place, community, and the natural world shapes our health in profound ways, influencing not only our physical state but also our emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being. By harnessing the magic of plant medicine, we can positively enhance our overall well-being, soothe emotional turmoil, reduce stress, replenish vitality, and support mental clarity.
At Alkimila Botanikals, our approach to herbal crafting recognizes the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. It is intuitive, integrative, and regenerative. We merge artistry with healing and spiritual alignment. We aim to cultivate a deeper sense of connection to our inner spirit and the healing power of nature with holistic herbal blends that nourish the whole being.

I am Jennifer Herrera Condry, an herbalist and medicine maker, arts administrator, and co-founder of Juniper Creative Arts. I am of Dominican descent, born and raised in New York City.
I am a lifelong student of the magic and medicine of the plants. My education comes from ancestral wisdom—what I learned from my family growing up and what they still teach me from the spiritual realm, being in direct relationship with plants, continual independent study, and from apprenticeships with clinical and master herbalists. Through these apprenticeships, I completed over 900 hours of advanced training. I have also been trained as a Hatha Yoga teacher and practitioner, and as a Reiki Master.
My work is rooted in my spiritual lineage and Afro-Indigenous Caribbean healing practices. I am the embodiment of a rich family legacy of espiritistas, artists, entrepreneurs, healers, and warriors from Ayiti Kiskeya (Taíno name for the island now known as Haiti and Dominican Republic). Because of them I am.
Since 2020, as part of Juniper Creative’s Artpothecary, I have been making and sharing herbal tea blends to elevate and nourish the whole being. Alkimila Botanikals was created because our herbal offerings have grown beyond teas.
Through Alkimila Botanikals, I am excited to have you experience the magic and medicine of the blends that I create as well as the education and support that I can offer you on your own healing journey.
