AYAHAUSCA- assisted Therapy 

Ayahuasca is a sacred brew from the Amazon, traditionally used by indigenous healers for physical, emotional, and spiritual restoration. It combines the Banisteriopsis caapi vine (the “vine of the soul”) and Psychotria viridis leaves, creating a potent synergy that opens the mind to profound introspection and healing.

​

Modern science confirms what shamans have known for millennia: Ayahuasca rewires the brain. Studies show it boosts neuroplasticity, reduces depression and anxiety, and helps release deep trauma (Journal of Psychopharmacology). But beyond the data, it’s a direct encounter with your soul’s purpose.

I don’t do “tourist ceremonies.” This is sacred work. Here’s how I ensure your journey is powerful and protected:

​

1. Preparation (1-2 Weeks Prior)

   • Dieta: Clean eating (no alcohol, processed foods, or sexual activity) to honor the medicine.

   • Intention-setting: We’ll clarify what you’re ready to heal or discover.

2. The Night of the Ceremony

   • Held in a quiet, sacred space with experienced guides.

   • You’ll drink the brew in rounds, accompanied by live icaros (healing songs) and somatic support.

   • Expect purging (vomiting, crying, shaking)—this is the medicine releasing what no longer serves you.

3. Integration (Essential!)

   • 1-2 follow-up sessions to ground insights into daily life.

   • Tools to keep the healing alive: journaling, rituals, and somatic practices.

• Disclaimer: Ayahuasca contains DMT, a controlled substance in many countries. In South Africa, ceremonies operate in a legal gray area as spiritual practices—not medical treatment.

• Ethics: No false promises. I don’t “guarantee” enlightenment. Healing requires your courage and commitment.

• Contraindications: SSRI antidepressants, heart conditions, or pregnancy exclude participation. Full screening required.

Ayahuasca may be your path if you:

​

• Carry unresolved trauma (childhood wounds, PTSD, grief) that talk therapy can’t touch.

• Feel spiritually stuck or disconnected, longing for meaning.

• Struggle with addictions or self-sabotage and need a radical reset.

• Are called to deep self-discovery—to meet your shadows and gifts.

• ​

Not for you if: 

you want a “quick high,” avoid hard inner work, or have severe mental health conditions (e.g., psychosis, bipolar disorder—we screen rigorously).

I bridge ancient wisdom and modern psychology—no superstitions, no dogma.

​

• Safety First: Trauma-informed holding, medical pre-checks, and small groups.

• No Fake Shamans: I don’t pretend to be an indigenous elder. I honor the vine’s power without cultural appropriation.

• Shadow Work Focus: Ayahuasca shows you your light and your darkness. My role? Help you embrace both.

This isn’t a magic bullet. The vine will confront you with what you’ve avoided. You might:

​

• Relive traumatic memories (to finally release them).

• Face painful truths about your relationships or life path.

• See your ego’s illusions shattered—which is terrifying and liberating.

But here’s the promise: If you surrender, you’ll leave lighter. Many call it a “spiritual surgery.”
