The team

Isabelle (aka Sap)

Isabelle is a child of the earth, primarily raised by Coastal Miwok lands and waters in the Bay Area, California. They started boxing in middle school and began training in Assertiveness and Self-Defense with Andre Salvage in high school.

They have been in the protection and healing arts for over nine years, constantly learning and growing.

They engage their creativity across mediums; including writing, drawing, body painting, caregiving, dancing, beading, sewing, teaching, learning, and more.

Care work, with both newborns and elders, has been a focal point of their past years.

They offer various support, both virtually and in-person, for babies and families during the sacred postpartum time.

They are also immersed in the world of dementia care — a beautiful, challenging, and perspective altering experience.

Gita

Gita is a food alchemist, gardener, recipe developer, and community weaver.

Norn on a remote island in unceded Coast Salish territory, Gita’s life and work is guided by her deep reverence for the natural world. Her ocean centered upbringing instilled in her a deep understanding of reciprocity that she reflects in all of her creative expression. Gita sees her food as a prayerful offering of love to her clients and community.
