I’m Mikaela de la Myco —
a mother, educator, folk herbalist, community organizer, facilitator and researcher based in occupied Kumeyaay & Luiseno territory, also known as San Diego, CA. For over ten years, I’ve supported people and organizations with services, products and education.
​
My areas of focus include natural medicine (herbalism and psychedelics), sex education (polyamory and pleasure as liberation), full-spectrum womb care (including pregnancy release and fertility awareness), trauma-informed advocacy (ethics and addressing harm) and psychedelics for families.
​
As the founder of mushWOMB and Mama de la Myco, I create education and experiences that center femmes, families, queer folks and communities of color in the sacred earth medicine and full spectrum womb care space.
In all my work, I offer resources that are nourished by my mixed Mexica/Aztec, Afro Caribbean and Southern Italian lineages.
​
With projects like ECO Sensual, the Herbal & Trauma-Informed Advocacy Certification, and the groundbreaking citizen science project Mothers of the Mushroom, I’ve helped create educational movements that bridge wisdom systems and fill gaps in the holistic health community. In my work with survivors, I serve as an advocate and care provider with MA'AT (Matriarchal Alliance for Accountability and Transparency).
​
My insights have been featured in a number of news reports, magazines, documentaries, podcasts, resource lists, courses and publications like the recently published, “Microdosing for Health, Healing and Enhanced Performance,” by Dr. James Fadiman and Jordan Gruber, and the award winning book “the Psilocybin Handbook for Women,” by medical and scientific journalist Jennifer Chesak.
​
I've had the pleasure of collaborating as an educator and activist with numerous companies, organizations, families and individuals and have taken up responsibilities as a maternal caretaker in the sacred earth medicine community.
​
Whether in one-on-one sessions, workshops, writing, or ceremony, I remain committed to being an instrument of change in the struggle to rematriate entheogens.
