Upon meeting Merav it didn't take long for a strong connection to form - her life journey to the medicine and learnings along the way were all very inspiring to me. I immediately felt confident that she was the right person to hold the space and guide me through my process with the beautiful Tobacco :-)
The journey itself was very profound. At first the tobacco has a subtlety to it, but as the process deepens each day it slowly reveals more and more, and takes you to those deep places you need to go. It is indeed hard work, as we face and sit with those uncomfortable aspects of our being most in need of healing, but what I loved most about the tobacco is its work is very clear and direct, keeping you grounded in yourself throughout the process (in comparison to other master plants such as Ayahuasca which can be abstract and take you far away from yourself at times). It is a very beautiful medicine that has left me with a deep sense of presence and grounding in who I am - I am incredibly grateful for the experience!
Merav held the space beautifully throughout the journey, she was always there for me as a very helpful guide but also gave me the space I needed to connect with the medicine and work through my process. I would highly recommend Merav to anyone who feels the call to the Tobacco, her special connection to this amazing plant is very clear, but most importantly she is just an all-around beautiful person :-)

I sat for a Tobacco Dieta for a week at Merav's place and despite being a very intense and difficult process it brought incredible deep healing to my body, my emotions, my mind, and my soul. I have sat for over 15 years with plant medicine and this was definitely one of the most incredible weeks of my life. Merav hold a very safe, strong and kind space. It felt easy to go deep and be vulnerable. So much Gratitude for her and this sacred work.

I have done other diets of Master plants and trees, but the Mapacho diet I did with Merav is definately the one which grounded me the most; grounding that is necessary when one works a lot with plant Teachers such as Ayahuasca, which have a tendency to pull you out of your body and not always in it. Mapacho is a very special plant for me, and an incredible Master and protector in my life today; his spirit also gives me a lot of stability, clear direction and confidence.
As for Merav, I have seldom encountered a human with such clean and pure energy. Like the Tobacco, she has lots of patience and knows how to hold all the necessary safe space for the healees / dieters. The dedication and love she puts in her work can be heard in her powerful and at times gentle icaros, and seen in her sparkly eyes!
I highly recommend doing a diet with this knowledgeable shaman or even just one ceremony with her, as Tabaquito has a knack for changing one's life!

For over a year I've felt the calling to diet Mapacho but it wasn't the right timing until June of 2019. My intentions were to integrate my previous dietas of Chiric Sanango and Bobinsana on a deeper level, as well as to root and ground stronger into my body. Every night involved a lot of purging of deep physical, emotional and mental blockages and baggage that I was carrying from the past. I felt very supported by Merav all throughout the process and really enjoyed the knowledge and wisdom she gracefully shared about these majestic master plants and trees, as well as her knowledge about healing in general. I emerged from the dieta feeling stronger than ever before and received exactly what I was hoping for. If you feel the calling to start with master plant dietas, I highly recommend working with Merav.

I've known and have been working with Merav intermittently for over a year. I've overlapped with many clients and have watched the transformation of their personal narratives. Merav provides comprehensive treatments for serious participants using authentic master plant protocols for deep physical, emotional and spiritual ailments. Working mostly in silence during dietas, Merav gauges very well the Goldilocks zone between protective reassuring guidance and allowing participants to be in their own introspective healing space to manage the sensitivities and vulnerabilities of such dietas. Her personal stories of healing and training are fascinating and very much part of the beautifully interwoven character of her conscientious approach and rich style of the treatments that are offered. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Merav for those who require specialised treatments for very personal requirements. I have and intend to continue honoring the expertise and graceful patience of one of the great tobacco maestras. Many thanks.
