INTEGRATION, PREPARATON & SUPPORT

Plant medicine journeys can lead to a variety of experiences and insights. The need to reach out for professional help often comes unexpectedly, and can add weight to already complex emotional or financial situations. That’s why I hold accessibility and economic justice as part of my practice - you’ll find a fuller explanation at the foot of this page.

To honour that commitment:​​

  • I work with sliding scales fees

  • Some sessions can be donation-based

  • Payment is accepted in multiple currencies.

  • Discounts are available for Peruvian nationals and residents

At the same time, to create a safe and stable space for the people I accompany —and for myself as a therapist— I invite those who wish to begin a process to commit to a minimum of three sessions, ideally over 3-5 weeks. This allows for a deep, grounded unfolding of what is present.

If you feel called to explore working together, you’re welcome to contact me directly.
I'll suggest a
short initial videocall (up to 20 mins, free of charge) so we can feel into whether this space is right for you.

You’re about to have your first plant medicine experience, and would like a prepping session to make sure you're aware of potential risks and what to generally expect, among other things.

You’ve had a powerful experience with psychedelics or plant medicine, and need help making sense of what it all means.

You’re considering stepping into a retreat or ceremony, and want to prepare consciously and safely.

You’re in the midst of an ayahausca dieta, and need spiritual or emotional support during the process.

You’ve had a troubling or confusing encounter with a facilitator or center, and want a grounded, professional second opinion.

You feel like something in your life or psyche has shifted — and you’re ready to walk with it more intentionally.

You’re simply looking for a therapeutic space that honours both the psyche and the soul — one which welcomes the full human experience and the wider transpersonal field.

You are a facilitator yourself, and value the chance to debrief with a peer — someone who speaks your language, understands the weight of holding space, and offers a grounded place to reflect, express, or be witnessed without judgment.

Sometimes it’s not the person who went through the experience who reaches out first — but someone close to them. A friend, a partner, a family member who’s concerned, confused, or simply wants to understand better.

 

If this is you, you’re very welcome here too.

 

I’m happy to offer a space where we can talk things through and explore options or possible ways forward together.

A Note on Accessibility, Fairness, and Sacred Exchange

I live in Perú and feel deeply inspired by the ancestral, quietly futuristic wisdom of this land.

 

One of the foundations of the Andean cosmovision is the principle of ayni — Quechua term meaning "sacred reciprocity". It’s not a monetary transaction, but a way of life rooted in the cycles of nature and trust in balance.

Of course, I’m self-employed, this is a business, and I have costs to cover in order to offer you my best. So I can’t rely entirely on ayni...

(Life may be but a dream — but the boat I row, row, row still needs upkeep.)
​​

​​

What I offer instead is down-to-earth pricing, because:

ONE.
Many people enter plant medicine work without factoring in the potential need for professional support afterward — sometimes urgently.

TWO.
I feel a responsibility to resist extracting models, endlessly taking from the earth and her keepers, directly or indirectly including charging exorbitant fees for helping people process these powerful experiences

THREE.
Deep healing should not be a luxury, but a possibility — a birthright.

 

And I trust that this will return to me in meaningful ways.

 

This is why, in an ayni-inspired spirit, I offer flexible pricing, trusting a conscious exchange on your side, and that the Universe has got us both. ;)
