Plant Medicine Preparation &
Post Ceremony Integration Support
Plant medicine journeys and ceremonies are a profound and powerful tool for healing and bring a unique opportunity for personal development & Self-actualization in all areas of life.
When considering undertaking a plant medicine journey whether for personal development or focused healing on a specific area in your life or personal struggle, having a clear intention and prepare accordingly internally & externally it’s a crucial element of the process.
Similarly, having a dedicated space for integration of your experience afterwards it’s essential for bringing the realizations into your daily life.
Integration is as important as the ceremony itself, it is where the insights and realizations of the experience are translated into life and where embodied change can happen. It supports and reinforces new healthy brain pathways and neural networks through committed intentions and practical actions and it is through a proper integration process where we can deepen our experience of the Sacred and what happened in Ceremony translating it into embodied change and long lasting positive transformation in our everyday life.
Regardless of the nature of your Plant Medicine experience, the integration process is essential. Both blissful and challenging experiences require integration to harness the insights and bring them to our daily lives, as well to support arriving to a space of grounding and making sense of the experience.
If you’re exploring the possibility of taking part of a plant medicine ceremony of any kind or have participated in one already, I offer both pre and post ceremony support sessions to help you prepare for your ceremony and also the integration of it.
Plant Medicines
Since ancient times humans have used Sacred Plants (like Ayahuasca, Peyote, San Pedro, Tobacco, Cacao or Mushrooms -Ndí Xijtho in Mazatec culture or Teonanacatl for Aztec/Mixtec people) as guides and teachers, in ceremonial and ritual ways and technologies as powerful allies for the betterment and well being of the mind, heart and soul, for connecting with the Divine, for healing, bringing the community together, gain insight and inspiration and remember who we are and our role in this Earth among many other purposes.
These plants are here to help us remember who we are and how to live a life of alignment, integrity, gratitude, appreciation and harmony, within ourselves, with our surroundings and everyone around us.
They teach us how to live and make the most out of this unique experience we have that living is.
In modern times, as the exposure to these Plant Teachers and Sacred Ways grows and disseminates around the globe far from their cultures of origins, having an appropriate and respectful way to approach both the preparation and the integration following after ceremony is essential to ensure the best results and minimize the risks of potentially traumatic undesirable experiences.

"The deep psychological and spiritual dynamics potentially brought to our awareness during ceremony require guidance, both before and after, for their full integration. Even participants who have lovely experiences may not derive the complete benefit without some guidance and help with interpretation” Dr. Gabor Maté
In these sessions, I’ll be holding a sacred loving present space for you and provide guidance and assistance as required coming from my experience of journeying and exploring with Plant Medicines and entheogens in solo and group settings, as a participant, facilitator, assistant and support person.
We’ll use somatic & embodied approaches, self-reflection, contemplation and meditation, reflective and empathic communication, music & sound, sacred space & ceremony, ritual & prayer, among other resources and practices to support you the best, adapted both pre and post ceremony experiences and your personal needs and requirements so you can access the wisdom of your inner guidance and what the Plant Medicine Ceremony or Journey has available or has revealed for you.

I offer my sessions on an income-based sliding scale model.
I see Education, Self-Actualization and Wellbeing as a basic human need, that we all have the right to access it regardless of our financial situation.
Inspired by the Spirit and wisdom of Sacred Reciprocity, known as Ayni in the Andean Tradition, inclusivity, accessibility & fair exchange, I feel that offering an income-based sliding scale is the most aligned way to provide access to everyone, in a way that's honoring all parts involved.
In the same Spirit of Sacred Reciprocity, a percentage of your investment is directed to support different communities and projects I'm connected to like elders of the Tz'utujil community in Guatemala, The Yawanawa in Brazil, and Bumi Sehat Foundation in Bali.
