Mexico played a key role in the beginnings of Funga. In her mid-twenties, Milana spent time there during a period of personal exploration that shaped both her outlook and her work. Immersed in the country’s strong connection to mushrooms, traditional healing practices and nature, she began to feel drawn toward a more intentional way of living.
Her growing interest in holistic health eventually led her to Mexico City, where she founded Funga - a curated online platform created to share education, culture and open conversations around medicinal plants and alternative healing practices.
Inspired by Mexico’s deep-rooted plant knowledge, Milana set out to make these traditions more accessible. Funga’s goal is to reconnect the UK and Europe with the transformative, feel-good potential of plants and fungi, encouraging a return to nature and bringing its power into everyday life.
