“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.”
— The Bhagavad Gita

I am a Ceremonial Musician, Sacred Plant Medicine Facilitator, Trauma-Informed 300-hour Somatic Breathwork Facilitator, 200-hour RYT and a Forever Student to the Plants, Animals and all Light Beings. My work is guided by a commitment to creating safe, grounded spaces for transformation. Spaces where we can remember who we truly are, connect with the Earth, and come home to our inner wisdom. Our Medicine.

My journey began when I was just 13 years old, during a time of immense loss and emotional upheaval, as does most of our Journeys start. It takes the universal life force to uplift all we thought we knew and show us a whole new reality. After the passing of one parent and learning soon after that my other parent was battling cancer, I found myself aching for something more. Some kind of magic, some deeper meaning, some power to rewrite the story in front of me. I was seeking healing before I even had the language for it.

That longing led me to discover sacred plant medicines. I fell into a rabbit hole of YouTube videos and teachings, absorbing stories and ancient wisdom. Every Ayahuasca youtube documentary I was into, amazed and longer to sit with the grandmother. Even as a teenager, I spoke openly about these traditions with others, feeling an unexplainable pull toward their depth(specifically Ayahuasca). Though my early experiences with plants were sometimes recreational( Ninos Santos, Santa Maria), there was always a seed of reverence growing inside me.

By the time I turned 18, my relationship with these medicines began to shift. I was no longer just exploring, I was remembering. I began sitting intentionally with sacred allies like the Niños Santos, Hapé, and Mama Cacao. Sitting and learning from them as the original teachers. I was navigating a dark night of the soul — struggling with addiction, low self-worth, and an overwhelming current of self-doubt. Life was moving fast, and I felt pulled in every direction. It was during these times, in ceremony and quiet prayer, that I began integrating practices like tarot, yoga, meditation, and breathwork. These became my anchors as I asked the medicines and the Earth for guidance.

In 2022, I was called to Costa Rica, where I lived on a permaculture farm surrounded by the heartbeat of the jungle. Those weeks were transformative. I was waking with the sun, working with the land, and sitting in deep communion with cacao and hapé. It was there that I received the calling to sit with Kambo. Meeting my first Kambo teacher shortly after my return, Wanda. She was like finding a piece of my soul I hadn’t realized was missing. Her integrity, grace, and connection to the spirit of Kambo continue to guide me. These ceremonies cracked me open and initiated profound healing. Kambo became a mirror, a teacher, and an ally. Alongside yoga and mindfulness practices, it helped me reclaim my life. Today, I celebrate four years of sobriety and a life rooted in reverence, resilience, and responsibility.

Later that year, I followed another calling—to the sacred lands of Lake Atitlán, Guatemala. That land transformed me. The Lady of the Lake transformed me. It was there, nestled between volcanos and ancient waters, that I sat with ayahuasca for the first time. That ceremony awakened something ancient in me. I remember visions of dancing with the Niños, seeing ancestral spirits spiral above my head, and feeling deeply connected to my lineage and soul purpose. That night changed everything. I knew my work was just beginning , Again hahah.

During my time in Guatemala, I immersed myself in community, retreats, studied with the Mayan, and began guiding private breathwork and hape ceremonies. Here I learned the way of cacao, we danced and played all day everyday. I lived off-grid, slept under the stars, cooked over fires, and honored the elements daily. These experiences offered more than knowledge, they offered embodiment. I wasn’t just learning, I was becoming. I was walking my path, not just dreaming it.

Today, I bring all of these lived experiences, sacred initiations, and heartfelt teachings into the work I do. Whether through ceremony, breath, song, or stillness, I hold space for others to remember, reconnect, and reclaim their sacred truth.

Throughout my journey, I have been blessed with incredible teachers who have guided me with wisdom and grace. Yogaratnam (Lauren Cowart) Founder of Way of the Yogi School of Instructors, She introduced me to the power of Consistency, Resilience, and Fiery Passion, through traditional Hatha yoga. Her teachings have shown me that life’s ebbs and flows are part of the practice, both on and off the mat(livinging Yoga). I remember going to the studio for the first time, my first group practice in this new community but also a deeply known community. I was scared and felt so disconnected, throughout my time in this portal of studio yoga, I started really being in my body even more. Having a space to explore our bodies in a safe and supported environment is definitely an important aspect of the studio and it shows the integrity that Yogaratnam has for the practice. Also having the opportunity to Journey nine months through a 200hr YTT with her as our guide. By the end of the training we all emerged new, this was one for the books. To this day when I think of our groups last gathering I can still feel my third eye pulsing. I will hold this special place always in my heart, and for Lauren I am beyond grateful to have her as a teacher , soul sister , and friend.

Another teacher, Bonnie Divina Maa founder of Church of the Christed Self, has taught me what it truly means to hold space with Sacred Reciprocity, Integrity and Devotion. I met Bonnie and her partner Kevin through a dear soul sister(Jamie), and her guidance has been a constant source of inspiration. She embodies humility and deep respect for the plants, the Earth, and all living beings. Her teachings remind me of the sacred responsibility we hold being inservice to the Medicine. The first time I met Bonnie I didn’t know what I was about to experience. She walked in and I knew I was safe, “She is a warrior spirit”I felt in my heart. We were gathering for a Nino Santos Ceremony, but it felt like Ayahuasca during the experience. This moment opened me up beyond explanation. It had just been about 3 months since sitting in ceremony in guatemala with the Ninos and Mama Aya, and this took me back to a place of pure Love Consciousness. My visions from Guatemala started flooding in and it took me no time to know this was where I was meant to be. I finally understood why the ninos santos were guiding me so deeply, I was in search for a medicine community. A place were the medicine was understood and I could get help integrating and navigating all the experiences I have accumulated. It was here in the portal of love community was found and continues to grow and we continue to expand into the vast cosmic landscape. A deep remembrance and coming home, now it feels like we’ve all known each other for lifetimes and I believe that’s so. I spent the next 3 - 4 months integrating and learning from this experience. One day I was pulled to message her, I messaged her asking if I could help in ceremony. From there it’s been a relationship I will hold forever. Her and her partner Kevin are so kind and really live the way of the plants and animals. Truly some special souls and the community of the Church is Deeply supportive. Thank goddess for our paths meeting.

Forever Teachers Right here!

Lauren and Bonnie are both true masters of their crafts, embodying wisdom, integrity, and grace in everything they do. I feel so deeply blessed to be guided by teachers like them, whose lessons continue to inspire and shape me on this path. And will for the rest of my days on this earth. They are powerful teachers , Strong, and know what they are doing. Learning so much everyday, So grateful.

This path has profoundly changed me. It has helped me heal and cope with an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, body dysmorphia, and addiction. It has shown me the power of time, patience, and self-compassion. Through sacred medicines, yoga, breathwork, and ceremony, I’ve learned to alchemize my struggles into growth and strength. What drives me to share these practices is the profound impact they’ve had on my life and others around me. They’ve transformed my mental state, my relationships, and my connection to the world around me. I’ve healed chronic fatigue and pain held in my body from past traumas, and I’ve found a sense of peace I never thought possible. We all deserve to feel this peace, to experience healing, and to reconnect with our true selves. 

Community has been a cornerstone of my growth. Coming together with others reminds us that we are not alone, that we are all experiencing life’s challenges from different perspectives but with shared humanity. In community, we create space for healing, transformation, and deep connection. Today, my vision is to continue fostering healing through retreats, one-on-one sessions, and ceremonies, both in person and online. (Collabs are open)I dream of guiding others to sacred places like Guatemala and creating spaces where we can integrate ancient wisdom with modern practices. My mission is to help others remember who they are, reconnect with their bodies, and experience the transformative power of healing.

With deep gratitude and unwavering dedication, I walk this sacred path with you, with reverence for all who seek transformation, healing, and growth.
