Hi, I’m Trica—Founder & Owner of Matcha Mantra Mondays!
As a Charlotte native raised in foster care until the age of 6, I learned early on how to connect with people from all walks of life and the importance of cultivating healthy, positive, zen environments wherever you are—an experience that shaped my empathy and deep passion for creating these same spaces for others. This is an ode to the amazing mothers that raised me to the woman I am now.
In 2020, like many of us, I felt a shift. I realized just how important it is to live fully and lead with intention. This awakening led me to launch an online series of sharing mantras and affirmations—with a tasty matcha latte in hand!—that soon became a weekly Monday ritual to help others “fill their cup” and kickstart their week.
By 2024, I decided to take a big leap and transform that online concept into a full-service, in-person wellness brand where I now get to do just that, both physically and figuratively.
Today, my mission is to bring that healthy, uplifting, zen space to you and help gatherings of all sizes nourish their mind, body, and spirit—one matcha latte and mantra at a time.
Cheers
Trica Patrice Johnson
