Certified in economics, holistic health, psychotherapy, and epigenetics

Cacao Guardians started as a tiny seed back in 2021 in Guatemala, when my two weeks holiday turned into a seven months journey.

Throughout the years I immersed myself more and more in the heart of Guatemala's diverse culture and ancient wisdom, eager to learn and contribute.

Is here where I found out that the scientific name of Cacao is “Theobroma Cacao”, which in its meaning is very similar to my name, Theodora. What a coincidence, or maybe not? :)

Living in Guatemala, I saw firsthand the struggles and triumphs of cacao farmers and the incredible strength of women collectives within the Mayan community. This inspired me to form deep connections and work closely with these amazing individuals.

I envision Cacao Guardians as a bridge, uniting the wisdom of cacao, the dedication of Mayan indigenous farmers, and the demands of our modern world.

It's about connecting cultures, supporting the indigenous community, and ensuring the sustainability of cacao cultivation.

My goal is to integrate economic viability, holistic well-being, and epigenetic insights into every aspect of cacao production, distribution and practice.

Now, years later, that tiny seed has grown into a thriving community, reflecting my deep love for Mayan culture, respect for traditions, importance for holistic health practices and appreciation for the knowledge that I am allowed to receive every day.

Cacao Guardians stands as a testament to diversity, unity, sustainability, and a harmonious fusion of ancient practices with western urban lifestyle, leaving a positive impact on local communities and resonating across the global stage.

Deep Gratitude to our Core Team, to all our Cacao Guardians around the world, to the team of Cacao Source, to our farmers and women collectives and to all of you for every single purchase, showing us your love, believe and support on this journey <3
