I’m Sarena-Rae Santos, known as The Holistic Hipppie. I immersed myself in nature, herbalism, and holistic health modalities in 2019. Mesmerized by the power, soul, and science of plants, I created this website. With peace, passion, and purity, I share my research and recipes as a contribution back to Mother Earth for all she provides. In 2025, I enrolled in the Clinical Herbalist Path at the Herbal Academy. I even created a welcoming Facebook group devoted to learning and fostering mindful decision-making together, The Holistic Hipppie Community, that I welcome you to join. Looking for a more personalized connection? Feel free to follow me on social media, where I post my holistic health journey in real-time.
