About our Speaker –  Paul Marquez

Polita’s Place is owned and operated by certified herbalist, Paul Marquez. The name Polita was given by her late grandmother.

Paula is a native Coloradan who has always had a passion for nature. She sees the connection between nature and mankind as a partnership, and believes that in order to work together successfully, there must be a mutual understanding and respect. A perfect example of this is with plants: Plants give us food, nutrients and medicine and all they ask for in return is simply love.

Her passion for helping others began in the medical field as she took premedical classes in college while working as a medical assistant and learning some of the ins and outs of western medicine. However, her path took her to teaching rather than medical school. During this time, she learned the importance of patience and developed the ability to explain things on each individual’s level. She has since moved on to herbalism. In this realm she has the ability to combine both of her background careers in order to help others with their healing journey while also being able to educate regarding health, nutrition, and healing.

When Paula is not in her apothecary, she can be found hiking the hills in Colorado, traveling the world, reading a good book, or spending time with her family
