About Us

Our products create a means for people to connect to Mother Nature 

The name Gaia comes from the Greek word yaia, or earth. In Greek mythology,  Gaia was the personification of Earth, the ancestor mother and primordial deitie. We came from nature, we are nature, we have it inside us, we just need to remember. Gaia Soul tunes us to the frequency of life. Marrying sustainability, science and well-being is possible.

We all need a digital detox

Our modern lifestyle is the biggest source of our disconnection from the natural world. Most people spend their days between walls, looking on computer or phone screens, not paying attention to nature's beauty and wisdom. We forget the natural networks that support us.

Big change happens in small ways

We can incorporate small but impactful natural elements into our homes and daily lives. Coming into more regular contact with the natural elements that surround us strengthens our drive to be off-screen and outside in nature. Sight, smell, taste of the natural world sends you the quiet message to reset your mind. Small contacts with the natural world call you to drop into the moment a bit more deeply. You pause. You interrupt the city, the machine, the noise and smell of the man-made world. You remember. These small reminders create a positive feedback loop. 

 This simple action will help us nurture the importance of nature in our daily life, helping us to reenergize by gaining a greater appreciation of our connection to the natural world. 

Let curiosity lead you.

Plants can awaken and sharpen curiosity about nature and our environment. Caring about a plant you may have on a window sill or desk leads you to want to know a bit more about the soil that will best support it, the amount of light and water it requires to thrive, and perhaps to know more about where it comes from.  Plants, in their small and quiet ways, leave us more curious about earth science, botany, climates and microclimates. In this way, plants act as a portal into a deeper appreciation of the wonder and complexity of nature. 

Behind the scenes

Danielle is a geologist and Landscape architecture student born in Brazil. She was raised in a farm where she immersed herself in the natural world.  While finishing her degree in geology, Danielle continued to dream of ways to further understand and protect nature. She moved to the US in 2019 where she found herself at a metaphorical crossroads. In search of clarity and self-knowledge, she enrolled in a self-awareness forum in San Francisco. There she met Diogo who became her best friend, fellow dreamer and business partner in this beautiful mission to reconnect us with wisdom and beauty of nature. 

Diogo Jordao Moya is a film producer, born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He has degree in business management and in film production. Working as a freelance producer for movies and tv shows, he moved to United States in 2018 and the following year met Danielle in San Francisco.  Since then, Diogo and Dani became best friends and later on business partners. They share a passion for plants and nature and that love brought that vision to life in the company Gaia Soul.
