Ayahuasca is a profound plant medicine that many individuals find supportive in their healing journey, addressing various aspects of well-being - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. It's crucial to understand that this medicine is not meant for casual use, but rather approached with careful consideration and respect. For those who choose to work with Ayahuasca, it's generally recommended to do so in a ceremonial setting, guided by experienced facilitators who can provide a safe, supportive environment. However, it's important to recognize that everyone's path to healing is unique, and Ayahuasca may not be suitable for all individuals. We encourage thorough research, professional consultation, and prioritizing personal safety and comfort when considering any healing modality.

Kimberly is the co-founder of Ananda Lodge Costa Rica and a certified somatic trauma-informed medicine facilitator and integration guide. As an empathic medicine woman, Kimberly brings over 10 years of personal coaching and working with plant medicine.
Experiencing the depths of corporate burnout, she turned to ancient healing traditions and plant medicine for soul reconnection and transformation.
Guided by indigenous wisdom, she learned to listen to nature’s whispers and harness its healing energies. As the founder of Ananda Lodge Costa Rica, Kimberly continues to walk the path of a humble servant, providing one-to-one coaching, support, and guidance through plant medicine journeys.
In addition to her training in trauma-informed care, she is also a certified sound healing therapist, and herbalist in training. On her path she has received mentorship from Atira Tan, Kat Courtney, Daniela Riojas, and Erika Buenaflor. With deep reverence for the Shipibo-Konibo tribe, she continues to apprentice in ayahuasca shamanism and facilitation.
Rachael is an advocate of sacred plant medicines, an energy healer, a creator of sacred containers, and a holder of safe spaces. In 2017, she began her personal journey with plant medicine and a therapist to start healing herself.
Rachael is passionate about guiding sacred circles where participants experience healing and growth through the ancient medicine of cacao and also loves to work with small groups to support them in experiencing the connective gift of psilocybin medicine. She has expanded her expertise as a healer, acquiring certifications as an integration coach, yoga teacher, Reiki practitioner, cacao facilitator, and is currently on a journey of discovery with the 13 Moon Mystery School's Enter the Mystery program.
With reverence for each person's healing potential, Rachael supports self-discovery and personal growth. She invites you to join her on a transformative journey towards wholeness and alignment.
Details of this retreat
MAXIMIZE YOUR PLANT MEDICINE INVESTMENT
Each individual carries their own innate, potent healing wisdom. However, as life happens we accumulate stress, worry, sadness, and trauma imprints that can disconnect us from this inner knowing. The use of sacred plant medicine, combined with guided support, helps us to reclaim our essence, our purpose, and clarity in life.
Following plant medicine journeys most people return to ordinary life and slowly the insights fade. Without support the profound clarity becomes a distant memory. The healing remains incomplete.
Preparing for plant medicine journeys, most people underestimate the power of preparation that is the catalyst for depth and profound medicine experiences. Without structure and inquiry, the medicine experience can be overwhelming or underwhelming, leading to confusion or unclear next steps on the path.
There is a better way.
Microdosing with purpose and guidance is a powerful tool to bridge the medicine journey into lasting transformation.

Angel Walking Among Us
Sister, Angel, Kind, Gifted, Grace, Funny; a few words that come to mind when I reflect on Rachael. She is supportive, compassionate and holds a sacred container for true and lasting healing. She is deeply attuned to the emotional state and needs of those around her. She is mindful and aware. She is grounding, she is healing, she is a reminder; to help you remember to find your center. I am eternally grateful for Rachael. I will never forget her heart, her voice, her laugh. Thank you, sister.

Gifted Angel On Earth
Where do I begin. Nothing I type here in this review will do justice the way I feel in my heart, my being, and my soul. Kimberly is incredibly gifted. A few words that come to mind when I think of her is Angel, Peace, Power, Healing, Humble, Warrior. I felt a special connection to her, her familiar voice, her presence. She is so present, intentional, aware, attuned and mindful. She takes great care with our hearts. I am so grateful for her devotion to the ripple. Kim, you are forever in my heart. What you are committed to is no easy feat. I hold the most reverence for you and J, for your shared commitment to healing. What you both have created is a beautiful gift to those who share in it and then the ripple effect begins, and it touches the lives of those around us. I will never forget you, your gifts, your healings and teachings. Sunshine.

Best decision of my life
I have been struggling with symptoms of CPTSD my entire life, I never knew what it felt like to feel a calm nervous system and was always nauseous requiring different meds to function. I decided to go on the women’s only retreat with a *hope* that I would feel just a little bit better. Each ceremony was incredibly powerful in its own way, and came along with some drastic self realizations. The facilitators provided the most respectful and loving support, and on the second ceremony had an intense body reaction that stemmed from my trauma (childhood sexual abuse). I realized I wasn’t nauseas but rather felt disgust all the time. Since my retreat has ended (meeting 2 months now) I have not been nauseated once, and when I came home I didn’t feel the need to use anything (meds, alcohol or cannabis) and have even lost my sugar addiction! The improvement I have felt and seen in my life truly can not be put into words. I feel so much lighter, clearer thinking, and I can hear my intuitive thoughts. I am forever thankful for this retreat and the facilitators and cannot wait to go back for another retreat to continue to level up my way of life. I wish everyone I know could attend Amanda Lodge and I know first hand the outcome is so powerful in such a positive way. I was able to feel a sense of pure joy that I’ve never felt before, and have so much gratitude for my healing. If you’re on the fence, please don’t hesitate! It is so worth it!!
