Meet Sunyatta

I’m Sunyatta Amen—founder of Calabash Tea + Tonic, 5th-generation Master Herbalist, and your go-to Kitchen Witch for soulful interiors. With 20+ years of experience, I’ve designed healing spaces from cozy bedrooms to buzzing cafés and bars.

Raised by artists, builders, and medicine makers, my style blends the ancestral and the elevated. My Aunt Pat—a Downtown NYC art icon—inspired my palette with her vibrant jewelry and fearless spirit. My grandfather put tools in my hand and taught me how to use them.

Whether you're refreshing, reviving, or ripping it all down to the studs—I’ve done it. From boudoirs to bustling cafés, bathrooms to boutiques, I help you create spaces that feel just right.

I blend ancient energetic systems like the I-Ching and Vaastu with design that’s modern, soulful, and deeply personal. Maybe it starts with your grandmother’s ring, a plant you love, or your favorite outfit. That’s your compass—we’ll follow it.

Healing doesn’t stop at your teacup. It’s in the textures underfoot, the hues you wake up to, the way your space holds you. Let’s make your sanctuary sing.
