Our Story

Bulltánica was founded by community stewards Monica and Moe Rivera in the summer of 2024. Inspired by personal healing journeys and recognizing Durham’s need for accessible wellness, we created a sanctuary dedicated to resilience, wellness, and cultural connection.

Monica Rivera, a certified yogi and herbalist leads empowering yoga sessions and offers medicinal herbal consultations

Moe Rivera (NC LMBT #19722), a licensed NC massage therapist, specializes in integrative bodywork promoting holistic wellness.

Bulltanica began as Cultivating Resistance Herbals, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit peace farm led by Monica.

Initially based in Old North Durham, we cultivate medicinal herbs, promote herbal justice, and provide holistic community education.

What began as Massage by Moe at the UDI Building has evolved into the Bulltanica Lymphatic Well-Being Clinic.

Our clinic offers accessible, trauma-informed lymphatic therapy through a sliding-scale model, ensuring inclusive care.

We're actively expanding our skilled team by welcoming additional holistic practitioners and occupational therapists
