Ohana brings massages, energy healing & sound baths to our retreats.
Her journey into the healing arts started as a baby. As an infant her mother would give her daily massages with the intention to make her strong and beautiful. This loving, caring energy continues to impact the work she shares with the community through healing, intimacy, movement and nonverbal communication workshops.
Her training extends from a BFA in Musical Theater, a licensed massage therapist, yoga teacher training in Guatemala, Reiki master and theta practitioner. For many years she practiced these modalities separately, then on one afternoon a friend asked her to share her voice as part of the session. Through this Sacred Wellness was birthed, allowing for intuitive healing to occur with massage, energy healing, and sound bath all united.
Her passions also include bringing community together to share in caring for the earth mother, finding freedom through movement and dance, and authentic deep playful relating.

Angela Stanger and Sonya Gomez, are the founders of Plant Based Meals. In 2018, we met working together during a transitional period of our lives -this was kismet. Angela had just graduated from UCSD in the field of chemistry and engineering, and Sonya was ready to pivot from a career in mental health, a field in which she holds her Master’s Degree. Right away we connected as strong, independent women.
We soon found out we had passions and goals that were aligned. We both wanted to be independent, help others from all walks of life, and have a positive impact on the planet. Within a few months we met for our first business meeting. With our goals in mind, to create a company that would bring people joy and improve their lives, we asked ourselves- what is better than making insanely delicious food that is healthy for you and the planet?
That is how Plant Based Meals (PBM) was born, and we have always stayed committed to this mission. Not only do we provide a service to bring San Diego residents a convenient way to get healthy, whole food meals, but we also do grassroot campaigns to feed seniors, first responders, and homeless people.
Over the past year and half, we have partnered with leading healthcare professionals from Scripps, UCSD, and Sharp who see the value behind cooking with our health standards, which include never cooking with added oils or sugars. PBM is a whole food, plant-based (WFPB) meal prep company, which means we create mouthwatering dishes centered on whole, unrefined, and unprocessed foods. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds are the basis of our satisfying meals. Dr. Angie Nieson proclaims, “I have found you a local meal delivery I can stand behind!!”
We love our customers, and have been overwhelmed by their positive responses. Just check out our Google reviews! Katie R. says, “...the food is delicious every time, beautifully served, and we feel good after eating it! Highly recommend!! Thank you for enhancing our life with tasty plant based meal preps!” Nate C. says, “With a busy life and need for healthy meals to fit an active lifestyle, Plant Based Meals are perfect. I teach fitness and martial arts and still compete so nutrition is key. Delicious, healthy, delivered to your door. What more could you need! Great service and options.”
We are delighted to tell our story. We are so proud of the company we built, and want to inspire others to follow their dreams.
