Ana Lygia

Ana Lygia is a clinical herbalist, and works as a recovery coach with Tempest. A graduate of the three-year certificate program at ArborVitae School of Traditional Herbalism in New York, Ana creates curriculum and individualized protocols for everyone to bring the magic of herbalism into their lives, with tools rooted in daily self-care through her business, June Eye Herbals. She also offers 1:1 holistic sobriety coaching for gray area drinkers who are looking to infuse their recovery with herbal allies (Sober Spirals Coaching). Her maternal great-grandmother, Adele Dawson, was an herbalist, gardener, artist, and activist. Ana values drawing on her ancestral lineage (Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Polish, French, Jewish), as well as her grandmother’s legacy, to support community wellness. She has a particular interest in soothing imbalances of the heart–including grief, addictions, anxiety, and the repercussions of chronic stress. She has been alcohol-free since 2018, and incorporates the joys of a sober life into her work. Ana lives in Brooklyn where she enjoys botanizing in Prospect Park, thrifting, and building altars.
