Meet Kailani, Venice mama, herbalist extraordinaire, and the gentle force behind Sister Herb who's been quietly revolutionizing how women and families navigate life's biggest transitions. If you've ever wondered who's holding space for new moms, teaching teenage girls about their bodies, or crafting the most beautiful herbal remedies this side of Lincoln, wonder no more. She's right here in our neighborhood, and honestly? We're lucky to have her.

Kailani isn't just any wellness practitioner, she's a Venice local through and through, raising two kids while building something truly special. As both a keeper of ritual and a postpartum doula, she bridges ancient healing wisdom with the very real, very messy, very beautiful reality of modern motherhood. Think of her as your neighborhood herbalist meets your most intuitive friend, the one who somehow knows exactly what you need before you even ask.

Her journey into this work wasn't accidental. Like many of us, Kailani discovered her calling through personal experience, realizing there was a gap in how we support women and families during pivotal moments. So she did what Venice people do best: she created something beautiful and necessary right here in our community.

Sister Herb is Kailani's love letter to women's wellness, and it's so much more than just another wellness brand. Here's what makes it special:

Holistic Hormone Coaching for Young Women
Kailani is a certified holistic hormone coach focused on young women's health and support. She offers guidance through diet and lifestyle changes, coaching teens and young adults so they don't have to suffer through their monthly moon. She also supports rebalancing hormones after birth control and offers somatic womb steams for gentle, body-led regulation.

Ritual Bath Collection
Ever had one of those days where you just need to wash off the world? Kailani's got you covered. Her bath collection includes everything from Emotional Clearing Baths to Full Moon Coconut Milk soaks that'll have you feeling like the goddess you are. Each blend is crafted with intention: these aren't just bath salts, they're tiny ceremonies for your soul.

Body Care That Actually Cares
Her body oils, scrubs, and face masks aren't just about looking good (though they definitely help with that). Each product is designed to support different aspects of wellness: mood-boosting sprays for those overwhelming days, nourishing oils for postpartum bodies, salt scrubs that help you shed what no longer serves you.

Body Literacy Circles for Girls
Perhaps most importantly, Kailani runs circles for girls entering puberty: creating safe spaces where young women can learn about their bodies, their cycles, and their power. In a world that often makes girls feel ashamed of their natural processes, she's teaching them to celebrate and understand their bodies instead.

What sets Kailani apart isn't just what she does: it's how she does it. Her approach blends ancestral healing practices with plant medicine, creating a bridge between ancient wisdom and contemporary life. She talks about "revitalizing and awakening the heart-womb connection," - helping women reconnect with their intuition, their bodies, and their innate wisdom.

When you're postpartum and feeling like you'll never be yourself again, when your teenage daughter is navigating her first period, when you're going through any major life transition: that's when ancestral wisdom becomes incredibly relevant. Kailani creates space for these experiences to be honored rather than rushed through.

One of the most beautiful aspects of Kailani's work is how she creates community. In a city where it's easy to feel isolated (especially as a parent), she's built genuine circles of support. Her sacred circles aren't just workshops: they're gatherings where women can share, learn, and heal together.

Whether it's a new mom's circle where exhausted parents can be real about the challenges of early motherhood, or a menarche circle where girls celebrate this rite of passage together, Kailani understands that healing happens in community. She's creating the village that we all need but rarely find.

A quick personal share, parent-to-parent: my own daughter moved through her first period with Kailani guiding us in ceremony last year. It wasn’t about “managing symptoms” - it was about honoring a transition and learning how to meet it with curiosity and care.

What it looked like:

The shift we felt:

Quote from my daughter:

If you’ve been wondering whether a ceremony might help your kiddo (or you) feel ready- yes. 100% yes. It’s wild, it’s wiggly, and it’s absolutely about stepping into your power.

Here's what we love most about Kailani's approach: it's rooted right here in our neighborhood. This isn't some Instagram wellness guru telling you to drink more water and call it healing. This is a Venice mom who runs a business while managing two kids, who understands the specific challenges of raising a family in this unique, beautiful, expensive, sometimes chaotic place we call home. Her clients aren't just numbers or followers: they're neighbors, friends, community members.

In a world that often treats women's bodies as problems to be solved rather than wisdom to be honored, Kailani's work is revolutionary. She's teaching girls that their periods aren't shameful secrets, supporting new mothers through the intensity of postpartum, and reminding all of us that our bodies are sacred vessels deserving of care and respect.

For Venice families, this kind of support is invaluable. We live in a place that celebrates creativity, authenticity, and alternative approaches to pretty much everything: so having someone like Kailani who brings that same energy to women's wellness feels absolutely perfect.
