Why I Started Owl Verde


I’m Maria Leonor, a critical care nurse, educator, mother, and island soul at heart. Owl Verde was born from the quiet resilience that caregiving demands — and the deep knowing that those who care for others deserve care too. After years on the frontlines and in life’s deepest trenches, I realized healing doesn’t always come from a clinic. Sometimes, it comes from a pause. A ritual. A breath.

Owl Verde is my offering to caregivers, nurses, and nurturers — a space where wellness meets wisdom, where burnout meets grounding, and where we remember: we matter too. This isn’t just a store. It’s a movement to root, restore, and rise together.
