Elena Rojas-Martinez is a co-founder of Whole World Botanicals.

“Growing up in an ancient town called Nasca, in Peru, I had the good fortune of being born into a family who knew the local herbs from our coastal area very well. My family was always in contact with people from the highlands who brought us herbs from the Andes and from the rainforest, for these two regions have been connected since prehistoric times. I was always attracted to all of this knowledge, it seemed so mysterious and powerful to me – the results of these medicinal plants were astonishing!"
