Lya Porto
Hello! My name is Lya Porto. Originally from Brazil, I now live in Montreal, Canada. I’m a researcher and project manager with a PhD in Public Administration. My professional journey has led me through the intricate world of sustainability, interculturality, food systems and preventive health. Yet, beyond the realm of academia and administration, my heart has always been drawn to the delicate balance between communities and the natural world around us.
Rooted in Brazil's traditions of herbal wisdom and hands-on experience in community gardens, I furthered my knowledge through a Permaculture Design Certificate and studies in herbalism at Concordia University. Now, I am devoted to cultivating and transforming medicinal plants, allowing them to nurture us as we nurture them.
This work reflects my lifelong passion for the delicate interplay between humanity and the earth. I invite you to join me on this journey of discovery, where every product tells a story of nature’s quiet strength and its endless capacity to heal.
