Founder of
Luna Sundara
Luna Sundara embodies the creative spirit and purpose of empowering Latin American artisans by showcasing their crafts globally. Sandra Manay, a native Peruvian and co-founder, originally planned to launch a clothing brand featuring traditional Peruvian textiles. However, her journey took a different direction when she noticed the demand for Peruvian aromatherapy oils during her spiritual explorations. Recognizing this niche, Sandra, with the support of her partner Thomas Konik, officially registered Luna Sundara as a wellness company in 2015.
The company's name, "Luna Sundara," reflects its commitment to natural beauty and holistic well-being. "Luna," meaning "moon" in Spanish, signifies spirituality and the natural world, while "Sundara," derived from Sanskrit, translates to "beautiful," representing physical beauty and inner harmony. This dual emphasis underscores Luna Sundara's dedication to enriching people's health and well-being through sustainable, natural means. Sandra's Peruvian background plays a crucial role in establishing authentic relationships with suppliers and farmers, aligning with their mission to empower local artisans and communities, ultimately making a positive global impact.
