Our Founders
Sam
Sam is a Magical Botanical Spell Weaver. He channelled and created Ygeia, an indigenous plant medicine company a decade ago. Ygeia has now grown into a global presence, offering high quality herbal remedies in over 10 countries.
Sam comes from a long line of well-respected hakims, whom served royal families and possessed great knowledge of healing; their ancestral wisdom flows through Ygeia, and Sam’s teachings.
Sam has cultivated a way of living that is in harmony with nature; he lives half his time in holy mountains of Dharamshala and enjoys wild foraging for mushrooms and medicinal plants in the forests.
The other half is devoted to a Nomadic life, flowing within the communities in India and abroad.
He loves to live his time in stillness and play in the quantum field.
Tara
Soul family & co-founder, Tara Bagaria.
Tara joined Ygeia in 2015 and was an equal initiator for our edible Essential Oils. She pulled research, design and content together with us and was a co-founder till 2020.
She's not involved with Ygeia now and is very happily occupied with her own existential endeavours.
She has masters in clinical Hypnotherapy, is an Access consciousness coach, a Breathwork facilitator and runs a beautiful Retreat centre/ Boutique homestay in Dharamkot called Cosmic Geeks
Our paths have altered this past few years but she will always be family to Ygeia and I (Sam)
