Our Story
Herbal Cacao was born out of a deep passion to share the nourishing and healing powers of the sacred cacao plant, medicinal mushrooms, and adaptogenic herbs. Our mission is to empower holistic wellness through our medicinal ceremonial cacao blends, crafted for daily rituals that cultivate a deeper sense of self-love.
Our roots run deep in reverence for Mother Nature and the rich traditions of the Maya culture, who honor cacao as the feminine spirit ‘Ixcacao.’ Our journey is infused with her essence, guiding spiritual growth and supporting you in opening your heart to its innate wisdom.
We are committed to upholding the Maya culture’s values of ethical community support, ensuring that everyone in our supply chain prospers. (Read more in our Reciprocity program) This dedication to authenticity and love extends to our Herbal Cacao family, where we focus on creating meaningful connections and offering heartfelt support within our community.
Through our unique, powerful blends, we invite you to join us on this transformative path toward a conscious and healthy lifestyle. Together, we are co-creating a conscious new world of heart-centered living, empowering self-love one sip at a time.

Meet Our Founder
Free spirited as she is, Sharon spread her wing by the age of 18 and left her Motherland,– the Netherland. She travelled to al corners of the world, and felt deeply in love when arriving to the the ancient Maya Land. 3 years she lived there deepening her connection to the plant medicine of cacao and the Maya Culture. It was here where her vision of Herbal Cacao was created, but it wasn’t until she returned to the Netherlands to be closer to her sick father, to start building her dream. Later she learned from the Maya elders, that it was her Nawal Tz’ikin asking her to step into her mission and claim her souls path.
“It has become my mission to share my knowledge and to let the world experience the powerful effects of these sacred plants by combining the nutritional and spiritual world. To support you on conscious healthy lifestyle and on your path of self and spiritual discovery. Bringing together the ancient wisdom of the indigenous tribes and our modern Western world.”
