Oases – Black Curandera | Rainforest Specialist | Desert Herbalist
Oases is a renowned Black Curandera, herbalist and cultural steward whose practice bridges the lush vitality of the rainforest with the grounded wisdom of the desert. Rooted in generations of ancestral knowledge, her work draws deeply from the Afro-Indigenous herbal traditions of the Americas — particularly the Amazon and Sonoran regions — where she has become known for her expertise in exotic, potent and often underutilized plant medicines.
With an extensive apothecary of over 500 herbs, Oases specializes in rainforest botanicals such as Huacapu, Cipó Cabeludo and Avenca as well as desert allies like Prodijiosa, Chaparral and Ocotillo. Her formulations are designed not just for physical healing but for spiritual alignment, emotional clarity and energetic protection — an approach that honors the original role of the Curandera as a holistic healer, counselor and keeper of earth wisdom.
Oases is the founder of Copper House Originals, an eco-luxury wellness company dedicated to creating high-quality herbal preparations and restoring reverence for the earth’s most powerful natural remedies. Her signature offerings — including tinctures, teas, oils, and powdered botanicals — are crafted with intention, ancestral respect and ecological integrity.
In addition to her healing work, Oases leads the AfroSonoran Herbal Society, a growing network of Black herbalists reclaiming their place in the botanical sciences and traditional medicine. She also educates through immersive workshops, original writings and an evolving herbal codex that documents her extensive knowledge of plant energetics, preparation methods and cultural significance.
Widely respected for her integrity, spiritual insight and botanical expertise, Oases is not only a healer of bodies but a cultivator of legacy — preserving Black healing traditions, deepening cross-cultural plant literacy and inspiring a return to earth-centered living.
