We are experienced curanderas with more than 15 years of dedicated work in the field of plant medicine. Over the course of hundreds of ceremonies, long-term shamanic dietas, and deep periods of isolation in the Peruvian jungle, we have studied with some of the most respected Indigenous masters — including Kestenbetsa and Juan Flores Salazar — as well as with visionary mentors like Marko Evoré and energy healer Michael Barnett.

What we offer is not just tradition or technique — it’s the result of a long path walked with humility and devotion. Our work integrates ancient plant wisdom with contemporary approaches to healing, drawing inspiration from pioneers in fields of .

Together, we created a form of work that bridges worlds: the ritual and the psychological, the energetic and the grounded, the sacred and the practical. Our presence is clear, calm, and deeply felt. We hold space with both strength and sensitivity — heart-open and grounded — allowing each person to unfold in their own time.

We focus not only on the depth of the ceremonial experience but equally on what comes after — on integration, embodiment, and real-life transformation. We continuously explore new modalities to refine our ability to support sustainable healing and inner clarity.

Clients often describe our work as a dance — one that reveals blockages, expands vision, and gently guides toward what lies beyond. In our space, you are welcome with all that you are, have been, and may become.
