Voices from the Path
Testimonials
Words from those who have walked this path with Ma.
My life has changed. It looks completely different from two years ago, let alone five!
I met Ma 3½ years ago and have worked with her periodically since; maybe three times of 4–10 sessions. She has helped and supported me in taking the most important steps of my life, to transform my view on myself and the world, guiding me in my own process to change my inner and outer reality.
Ma meets me with deep loving compassion and an immense and grounded strength. She trusts and believes in me, and inspires me to do the same. With a gentle hand, she sets the bar high, but no higher than what I am ready for. Sometimes to my own surprise.
With concrete tools, she has taught me to listen to myself, understand and work with my cycle and to trust my inner guiding system. With these tools she has helped me put a long-term, life defining illness behind me, to take the steps into the biggest transition of my life. And recently she helped me prepare for the amazing, wild and beautiful birth of my daughter and to step into the world of becoming a mother.
I feel empowered and inspired by her and by our work together, and I am so incredibly grateful for her guidance and support.

Ma has been an incredible source of support for me this past year. She is like no one I've ever encountered — gentle, maternal, fearless, compassionate and full of love. Her ceremonies deconstructed my frameworks for the world and dramatically altered my understanding of depression, anxiety, and relationships amongst other things. Ma then stood beside me as I navigated many challenging life circumstances — offering grounding, calming wisdom only someone with a breadth of life experience can offer.
Perhaps most notable, my work with Ma helped me access my true Self and gave me the confidence needed to make many difficult lifestyle and career changes. I am privileged to have her in my corner and filled with gratitude to the universe for bringing us together.

I had the pleasure of experiencing a plant medicine retreat with Ma in Peru in 2023. It was an incredibly healing and supportive experience. Her knowledge of plant medicine and her connection to authentic shamans and healers is exactly what someone looks for in a guide. I have previously traveled to the Amazon jungle, so I can say that the retreat center that Ma is associated with is absolutely comfortable and beautiful. During my stay, I felt nourished in body and mind and felt very safe. The shamans there are top notch at their healing craft.
Ma's approach to the medicine is full of integrity. It is clear that her path in life and her many years dedicated to the plants have resulted in an expansive breadth of knowledge and understanding of the intricacies of the shamanic plant realms. She is a beautiful and solid energetic presence while holding healing space in these realms. Ma's approach is full of sacredness and respect to her amazing and respected Shipibo teachers and the plants.
