Our Story

The Bratty Brujita Botanica was established in 2020 by Yvette Montoya as a way to help folks cope with the grief, anxiety, and existential dread left in the wake of covid.

After being an undercover brujita for 10 years, Yvette left her career as a journalist in mid 2023 to commit fully to her witchy pursuits and esoteric studies. Since then she’s continued to expand her products and energy work offerings at The Bratty Brujita.

As a child Yvette predicted things and used small branches to mix soups with leaves and flower petals. That was when she knew she was something was different. After many years of denial she finally arrived to the foot of Obatala when she was 25 years old. As a woman of mixed Latin American heritage, she felt called to develop a spiritual identity that aligned with the many facets of her experience in the US. Her medicine and magic is a response to that.

All the products hand made by Yvette are products she created for herself as a part of her energetic self care routine. As someone who is very sensitive to the vibes and energy of others, she has made it her mission to help others like her to master their energetic self care routines as well. She is also passionate about teaching folks how to use their gifts and abilities as well as how to connect with their ancestors— through mentorship, workshops, and healing work.   

Today, BB offer’s a variety of esoteric products aimed at giving clients the tools they need to step up their healing work as well as readings, candle packs, energy cleansing kits, candle assessments, in person energy work and workshops. 

Our mission is to provide the esoteric tools, products, and education needed for self discovery and collective liberation.
