How did we get here?
Katherine “Kat” Cepeda is the founder and owner of Bohío Living. Kat has worked as an educator and social worker, in the tri-state area and the Dominican Republic.
At Bohío Living, Kat Cepeda offers a mindful approach to help you break old patterns and build emotional resilience. By combining trauma-informed practices with ancestral wisdom and practical tools, her work creates space for personal transformation. Through self-reflection, community, and a deep connection to your inner wisdom, you'll heal and grow in ways that honor your past and empower your future.
Ancestral Healing
Kat’s Caribbean ancestry is at the root of her herbal blends and methodology. Her mother, Milagros, is the namesake of the popular “La Milagrosa” tea in the shop and has passed down family recipes. Kat’s academic and experiential research of the history and people of Ayiti (Haiti/Dominican Republic) has deepened her connection to her own and the island’s Taino and African ancestry. Bohío is a Taino word meaning “home” or “dwelling.” This symbolism drives the overall mission of Bohío Living as we provide products and resources that support healing and coming home to oneself. Presently, through Bohío Living and Bohío Botanicals, Kat continues to build on the knowledge, wisdom, and experiences of her ancestors in her mission to create community by cultivating spaces of holistic healing.
Our workshops and retreats focus on healing from trauma through a wide variety of spiritually grounding practices that include yoga, meditation, and reflection.
Whether you're navigating life’s challenges or simply ready to evolve, together we’ll create the space for real change.
