Meet the Founders:

A beautiful path that found us.


  • President & Co-Founder

    Symone’s journey with herbal medicine began as an intimate path with herself starting out. Over the years through study and interpersonal experience, her deep love for herbalism has now become her main passion. Symone stands as a trusted guide empowering individuals to navigate their path to remembering how powerful they are. A reminder to continue the reawakening of ancestral knowledge through herbal medicine, advocating for its integration and inspiring a brave commitment to self-healing and living life to its fullest potential.

  • Co-Founder

    Daian, co-founder of The Herbal Ritual, was immersed in the world of herbal medicine from an early age. Raised in a family that revered herbal remedies for their spiritual and healing properties, she absorbed the sacred practices of her culture, fostering a deep passion for natural wellness.

    Her endearing relationship with herbal remedies and their efficacy led to her connection with Symone, driven by their shared alignment in values. Like Symone, Daian's vision intertwines ancestral wisdom with modern science, creating a company dedicated to authentic, sustainable herbal solutions.

    Beyond her role in the company, Daian continues to honor her heritage by integrating ancient healing practices into her daily life. Her journey from childhood immersed in herbal remedies to co-owning a company that showcases her dedication to sharing the transformative power of nature's gifts.

With heartfelt gratitude, we reflect on these two, that with unwavering trust, passed on a profound legacy to us. Their vision and commitment have become the cornerstone of our journey, inspiring us to carry forth this cherished inheritance with honor and dedication. It is with immense joy and a deep sense of responsibility that we embrace the privilege of continuing from their beautiful foundation. As torchbearers, we are excited to nurture and expand upon what they have laid.
