Amaya Natural Therapeutics

The Durango Farmers Market is deeply saddened by the passing of Katrina Blair.

Katrina was a longtime vendor, educator, advocate, and friend whose passion for local food and community touched countless lives. Through Turtle Lake Refuge, she inspired generations to reconnect with the land, embrace sustainability, and find nourishment in the natural world.

Her presence at the market was a reminder that food is more than what we eat - it is a connection to place, to one another, and to the abundance that surrounds us.

We are grateful for the wisdom, kindness, and vision she shared with our community.

Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and the entire Turtle Lake Refuge family during this difficult time.

Thank you, Katrina. Your legacy will continue to grow.

Meet our massage therapists! This month we are featuring Crisandrale Darby.
Crisandrale specializes in Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone, cupping, and prenatal massage, as well as helping people who suffer from chronic pain or are looking for stress relief.

Her passion for massage came at a very young age when she witnessed people healing themselves with massage. Seeing this sparked an enthusiasm inside her for massage that she has nurtured throughout her life since then!

Some of her passions outside of work are hiking, camping, mountain biking, rock climbing, and playing outdoors with her family.
