Sondra "Stefani" Padilla has been a hairstylist for over 20 years, steadily transforming hair for clients in New York, LA, and Portland. Prior to creating La Tierra Sagrada, Stefani embarked upon a seven-year spiritual journey exploring the extraordinary healing power of plants. These plant teachers imparted nature’s wisdom to her, and, coupled with the knowledge she gained from both her work as a stylist and her own personal health issues, La Tierra Sagrada – The Sacred Earth – was born.
Plants have been a clear guide for Stefani according to homeopathic principles. She launched the line, including her selection of detox shampoos and hydrating hair products, in 2014. She created this line hoping to spread the wisdom inherent in the plant world in order to provide a cleaner, healthier option for people's hair and for the environment at large. Community consciousness, ritual, and spreading experience and wisdom all play a central role in both Stefani’s life and the hair care products she creates, specifically including the hydrating hair mask and detox shampoos. She knows how busy life can get, and after recovering from a debilitating autoimmune disorder, how important self-care really is.
Stefani created La Tierra Sagrada to help heal herself and anyone else looking to restore and enrich their hair’s health and wellbeing through the guiding force of nature and quiet intuition. All her products are made in small batches to ensure freshness since they do not use preservatives. Each ingredient is carefully chosen for its power to heal and nurture.
