Hi, I’m Johnali
Owner of Mayari Metaphysical
Maybe you’ve seen me at local markets around the Monterey Bay—maybe you’ve even had a tarot reading with me! But if this is your first time connecting with my work, welcome! I’d love to introduce myself.
I grew up as a witchy and sensitive kid-always making potions in the backyard, asking my lola and mom about the properties of plants, growing gardens, and caring for a whole lot of animals. I saw things beyond the world as we know it-figures of loved ones who had passed, the shifting colors of people’s auras. I always felt I had a gift, and I wanted to share it in a way that could help others heal.
That calling first took shape when I began studying tarot at age 15. Now, with over nine years of experience, I offer intuitive readings guided by compassion, clarity, and a practical approach. My goal isn’t just to predict the future-it’s to help you create the one you want. I focus on helping you understand the energies at play, offering insight and actionable steps that support your growth and decisions.
What started as a love for crafting, ritual, and ancestral connection slowly grew into something bigger once I reached my twenties. Over time, these passions of healing and crafting natural products came together in a way that felt both personal and purposeful, eventually growing roots in my small-batch apothecary and spiritual practice.
That’s how Mayari Metaphysical came to life. The idea was born in 2021, and I’ve been slowly building it ever since-brick by brick, product by product. Though I am far from a perfect practice, I focus on quality, care, and sustainability, always aiming to craft offerings that are accessible, natural, and as eco-conscious as possible.
Many of my products are inspired by my Igorot heritage. For example, my Anitos candle is created to honor ancestral spirits and can be part of your daily ritual practice. Each item I make is an offering-from my hands to yours—with the hope of bringing connection, clarity, and care into your life.
Who is mayari?
Mayari is the Filipina goddess of the moon, known for her strength, beauty, and wisdom. In myth, she is a symbol of revolution and resilience—stepping into power with grace and fighting for balance and justice. I chose to name my business Mayari Metaphysical in her honor, as a reflection of both the divine feminine and the transformative, healing energy I hope to channel through my work. To me, she represents the beauty in reclamation, resistance, and the sacred cycles we all move through.
