Lynsey Ayala Rinaldi is a Boricua spiritual herbalist, educator, ceremonialist, and founder of Yabisi, a Bronx-born botanica and School of Remembrance rooted in ancestral healing traditions and earth-based practice. Her work centers the intersection of clinical and spiritual herbalism, African diasporic cosmologies, Curanderismo, ritual practice, and psychedelic integration.

For over a decade, Lynsey has guided individuals and communities through transformational work centered on remembrance, embodiment, and right relationship with spirit and land. Drawing from years of study with elders, plant teachers, therapists, and lineage holders across the Caribbean, Brazil, South America, and the United States, she creates containers that bridge ancestral technologies with trauma-informed, practitioner-centered care.

Through teaching, writing, ceremony, and medicine making, Lynsey supports practitioners, seekers, and emerging healers in deepening their relationship to the plants, the body, and the unseen. Her work invites people to reclaim ancestral ways of knowing while weaving those traditions into contemporary life with integrity, reverence, and responsibility.
