Meet Pepe
Queer Wellness Doula
Pepe is a certified Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. He founded Barewell to help queer people reclaim vitality and power by blending ancestral plant wisdom, modern supplementation, and lifestyle design which honors the rhythms of the body and the pulse of the planet. His approach is sensual, grounded, and irreverently alive — rooted in the belief that queerness is not just an identity, but a way of listening to the body, healing through pleasure, and rewilding the self.As a queer wellness doula, Pepe offers nurturing, non-clinical guidance through life’s transitions — helping clients birth new versions of themselves with care, creativity, and embodied ritual.While his work centers queer life paths, the tools he shares — nutrient-dense food, herbal support, ritualized self-care — speak to a deeper biological truth: all bodies are wild, sacred systems craving alignment. Barewell invites everyone, regardless of identity, to live more instinctively, rest more radically, and remember that we are animals, after all.

The Bare truth
Where queer wellness meets real talk. Science-backed, earth-rooted, and spiritually hydrated reflections on vitality, nourishment, and everything we’re not taught about caring for queer bodies.While Pepe centers queer lives and stories, this knowledge is for everyone. Bodies are bodies. We are all animals, all made of the same stardust. These truths aren’t just queer truths — they’re human ones.This is your invitation to unlearn, rewild, and re-member what it means to be well.
