Polita’s Place was founded by certified herbalist Paula Marquez, a native Coloradan whose lifelong love for nature and healing inspired a mission to reconnect people with the wisdom of the earth. Named after a cherished nickname given by her late grandmother, Polita’s Place embodies warmth, tradition, and a deep respect for the natural world. Guided by the belief that plants are generous partners in our well-being, Paula creates space for others to experience the transformative power of herbal remedies rooted in love, balance, and connection.

With a foundation in both western medicine and education, Paula blends science, intuition, and compassion to empower individuals on their personal wellness journeys. At Polita’s Place, her carefully crafted herbal products and personalized guidance reflect a philosophy that true healing begins with harmony-between body, mind, and nature. Whether she’s working in her apothecary or exploring Colorado’s trails, Paula continues to live her purpose: helping others find health and peace through the gifts of the natural world.
