I invite you to learn a little more about me so you can intuitively feel if I’m the right facilitator for your ceremony or event.

***In all of my offerings, I serve as a Trauma-Informed Practitioner.***

I am both Western (US) trained and Indigenous (Peruvian) initiated in serving alternative medicine, as well as trained in Psychedelic Harm Reduction, with past experience working for an Ayahuasca Healing Center in the Amazon, and extensive service as a ceremonial psychedelic facilitator, space-holder, and “trip sitter.”

I am a 550Hr Certified Yoga teacher, Reiki Master/Teacher, and Chi Nei Tsang Practitioner, trained in Indonesia and Northern Thailand.

*Physical and Mental safety prioritize above all else in all of my offerings.*

Whether I’m serving in ceremony or DJing ecstatic dance, you’ll be getting the same facilitator within a shapeshifting environment.

I’m down here on Earth keeping it real, moving intentionally, and serving thoughtfully while offering medicine, movement, and music from my heart, in the most culturally respectful ways possible.

I’m dancing between light and shadow work, diving deep while rising up, and trying to remember to laugh at myself through all of it. There’s an eternal handshake between reclamation of sovereignty/empowerment while unlearning and de-programming, and remaining on my knees in gratitude and humble service. I offer my voice and support as your cheerleader to take that handshake as well.

I have strong intuition and a sharp awareness of what each moment calls for. There’s a very precise potion in my cauldron, containing specific amounts of empathy and experience to help you achieve Your Optimal Shift.

I keep a clear head, common sense, critical thinking, discernment, felt-sense, and intuition all speaking the same language and playing on the same team of this human experience.

I listen. I observe. I feel.

For me this is not a job, it’s not a profession.

This is my full-time everything. It is my lifestyle.

My service as a Kambo carrier is mirrored and reflected in the way I live my life - these are not separate for me.

It is the first thing I think about in the morning and it is the last thing I think about before I go to bed.

My mission is to be a trustworthy and safe human, practitioner, guardian, student, teacher, and bridge

between indigenous tradition and modern need of Kambo Medicine.

I am doing my best to align my actions with my values, including but certainly not limited to:

environmental conservation, honesty, humility, integrity, respect, and reciprocity.

I believe in treading lightly and listening deeply.

Creating time and space to move slowly, listen to nature, and remember to strip ourselves of the material so we can return to the primal.

SOBRIETY TO BE A CLEAR CHANNEL

I am sober off alcohol since 2018.

In working with medicine and in any healing offerings required to connect to Source Energy and intuition, I fully believe in a level of integrity through sobriety in the practitioner.

I stopped drinking November 3, 2018, when it came through very clearly that if I was going to be in service of Kambo and plant allies I could no longer numb my mind/body connection with the low vibration of alcohol.

This is also what I look for when seeking out a practitioner for myself.

20 PERCENT BACK

In addition to the fair exchange agreements I have with certain tribe members for collective medicine when I can’t go to Peru, I have made a concrete commitment to give back 20% from each ceremony. I donate 10% back directly to the Amazon, whether that may be to my teachers, or to organizations and non-profits that I have vetted to assure that all funds donated are transparently given.

At this time, an additional 10% is also going toward building a safe healing space in my hometown of Richmond, VA.

ETHICALLY SOURCED MEDICINE:

It’s extremely important to ask your practitioner where they get their medicine, and how it was harvested.

Many practitioners are ordering sticks online, not know where exactly where it comes from or how ethically (or unethically) the frogs were treated, which intrinsically transfers to that stick. Many people in the jungle are also just trying to make money from the demand for Kambo and will make fake kambo sticks using egg yolks or yucca. This is extremely unsafe and can lower heart rate to a dangerously slow pace.

Many people are also serving themselves or others without proper training, personal experience or embodied wisdom of the medicine.

Since 2019 I have gotten my medicine sticks directly from Matses tribal members who I have personally met. I maintain personal relations with members of the Matses that I trust for sending me Kambo when I cannot personally go down to the Amazon and be with them.
