16-days Healing Journey with Ayahuasca in a wonderful nature retreat in Paraguay

I am a late-blooming shaman. Trained as a TCM therapist and supervisor, I started to study medicine and healing 30 years ago. As an entrepreneur, I have led and managed many people and worked in different countries around the world. After a stay in the Brazilian Amazon and many encounters with my indigenous shaman, I spent many years studying the medicines of the Amazon, their effects and how they work, and I set out on a journey to discover myself and my destiny. This magical journey has made me what I am today: An Ayahuascero-Curandero. The spiritual world is always by my side and accompanies me in my healing work for others, which makes me very happy and grateful.

I worked as a nursery school teacher and teacher for many years before I started my therapeutic work. With my body-orientated psychotherapy, I helped many people to heal and continued to search for simpler and deeper healing possibilities. The children had shown me a lot about where the journey should go and so, together with my companion Urs, I came into contact with the medicines from the Amazon in 2010. Before I started my current work as a curandera, I took many profound and personal development steps and spent a few years finding myself, clarifying and deeply understanding the question: Who am I? Today I am able to accompany people on their path through life. I work a lot with the topics of femininity, masculinity, relationships with oneself and one's environment, self-love and self-judgement. The addition of my husband Urs and my son Noël is one of the most beautiful things I have experienced in my life. We complement each other and are connected directly and via the spiritual world and in this connection we are able to accompany and support other people on their healing journey.

I am 26 years old, was born in Switzerland and grew up learning independently. Thanks to my parents' example, I became interested in health and its preservation and healing at a very early age. My love of nature brought me closer to plants and I was fascinated by the healing power they provide for us. My inwardly driven search led me to the Brazilian Amazon, where I learnt from indigenous shamans how to transform this plant power into medicine. Since living in our retreat in Paraguay, surrounded by living nature, I have been working with the master plants. They taught me how to utilise the power of music, vibration, song and ritual and music became a central activity of my heart in my healing work. Today I am incredibly grateful for the healing I was able to experience and for being able to share this experience with other people. It fulfils me to see how people come into their power and experience healing within themselves, and it inspires me to be able to work in a blossoming paradise with such powerful people as my parents and to participate in a collective healing process.

I am 32 years old, born and raised in Austria. Even in my younger years, I was always drawn abroad to broaden my horizons, so I lived in England and Italy for a year as an au pair. Shortly thereafter, I moved to Switzerland for five years due to my commercial training. This time was very instructive for me, as I realized that there is more to life than just spinning on my hamster wheel. I felt the urge for a big change and took the plunge four years ago to emigrate to paradise-like Paraguay. In these four years, I was able to learn from many people, be inspired and develop myself further. I trusted my intuition and let my heart guide me to Peru, where I was able to go on a deep journey of discovery with the help of the Amazonian master plants. I recognized the power within me to be a channel for healing and to accompany people on their path to self-healing. In the "Sensitivity, Mediumship, Spiritual Healing" training, I was able to continue my personal healing path and further develop my talents. I have always enjoyed working with people and it fulfills me every day. It impresses me to see what profound transformation processes each individual goes through in their healing process and what such a process can change in a person. I am grateful to be able to live and work with such wonderful people at "La Joya".
