"Isa is the most amazing Shaman you could ask for. She has nothing but love and guides you through the process start to finish. At no point do you feel unsafe and at all points all you feel is love! This experience is highly rated and I intend to return one day. (Also thank you Tarek!! :D)"

"Isa was very good at helping me feel so comfortable and safe. Her way with the tea bath and spirit cleanse allowed me to open up fully to be ready to embrace all that came. The journalling really helped me to focus on what I needed to focus on. I released so much anger. I just feel so much more at peace with my faults and with my strengths. I don’t put up with what I use to any more, I love myself deeper and I strive for better because of it and I thank Isa for all of this. I will go back one day. Thank you Isa. "

Taylor June, 2024

"Thanks to Isa for creating the perfect space for transformation, while allowing the guest the freedom to have their own moments with god. I’m already planning my next trip to see her down in Mazunte and strongly recommend her guidance and powerful presence to any seeking a deeply profound experience!"

"While I don't think psychedelics are for everyone, and it is important to be honest with yourself and your guide / host, I did find this to be exactly what I needed. My experience was primarily an emotional release. I had been particularly affected by symptoms of my CPTSD and BPD following the end of my marriage and triggered into being stuck in unexpressed grief, anxiety, dissociation, and emotional paralysis. I had the intention of moving my stuck energy and seeking clarity. I surrendered to the road medicine - which I think was important because it is very powerful. I felt safe and grounded in my intention though I was naturally a little nervous in anticipation. Just laying on a mat on the ground in Isa's backyard in San Agustinillo after having done the allusions and prayers and meditation. My experience was that it came on strong and right away I was transported somewhere else. I don't remember anything else except that I engaged with my grief and the paradox of my inability to let go or stay with a marriage that was no longer working. I wept and cried more than I ever have and subsequently was able to slowly shift my emotional dynamic. Much of that work was through some somatic work beginning with Ximena Hridaya also in San Agustinillo - and my masseuse and psychotherapist back home. My only qualm was my wrong expectation that there would be more in the way of integrative work included but I understand now that that is a larger process that I needed to facilitate with other helpers, which I did. Thank you Isa for holding and protecting the space for me to have this important and healing experience!"

"I found this little sanctuary on Google so I was a little nervous that it would be a disappointment but I was very pleasantly surprised. There is a lot of heart energy in this place and it attracts kind and authentic people both with the staff and volunteers and the guests. The yoga and classes were excellent. The little natural pool was a welcome cool off. And the food was delicious. "

"What a beautiful time spent with incredible humans! There were so many firsts on this retreat, and I felt inspired at so many points. I was a bit nervous about certain things like the sharing circles, but was relieved that others on the retreat felt the same. By the end we were all connected as one, thanks to the guidance of our beautiful leader JoJo. Thank you for the experience and encouragement throughout the journey 💜💜 and I’ll never forget this magical corner of the world. "

"I’ve done a couple of research before I found Isa. And I truly am blessed to have met her. I love how detailed and articulate she is in introducing the process and preparation for me months before the ceremony. My one-to-one session was intimate and personal, she held the space for me in a safe and peaceful environment, giving me all the breathing space I needed to experience and coming into contact when I needed her guidance. She’s wonderfully powerful and amazing. A truly life-changing revelation, I am in bliss. Thank you very much Isa. :)"

"Isa goes above and beyond to ensure she truly knows you and prepares you for every aspect of the Bufo experience. There is no need to feel scared because she is always right there with you and has such a comforting presence. She is genuinely doing what she loves; and it shows because all of her actions are meant to create an enjoyable and pleasurable experience. "

"My partner and I had a beautiful time, made especially so by the care and comfort provided by Isa. We highly recommend this transcendtal journey and are grateful to Isa for helping to facilitate it. One love! "

Ionut August, 2023

"Isa is great not only as a Bufo Alvarius Facilitator as i got to know her but also as a person, i am sure that she is wonderful in al the other activities. She helped me a lot to integrate my experience, and it made me feel safe and comfortable knowing that she is there with me while i was “gone”. I strongly recommend her. I am happy that she was my facilitator. Thank you Isa"

Ionut August, 2023

"How to describe in words such a profound experience?! I won’t talk about the experience itself as it is to personal and intimate but i can talk about Isa and the great job that she does. First of all i felt that she is the one I should work with since the first email, she is very passionate and supportive through the whole process. The location in Barcelona is so nice and since the moment you enter Isa’s world you feel that great changes are going to happen. I recomand her from all my heart."

Louise August, 2023

"I had a very special and heart warming experience. Isa is an amazing facilitator, authentic wise and very kind,. I feel blessed to have had her as my angelic guide. I did not know what my experience could be like, and even though I was a little nervous I knew I was I safe and that is what is so important when taking part in such a personal and deep connection with spirit. I will hold the experience close to my heart and I know that there is a guiding light in Isa for the next time I feel ready to have Bufo. What more can I say. "

Connor April, 2023

"An incredible, transcendent and blissful experience. I was quite nervous trying bufo, this was my second time. Isa created a space where I was able to feel calm and relaxed going into the ceremony. I was able to let go and fully surrender to the experience in a peaceful and blissful way. Letting go is the key. Everyone's experience will be different but the medicine will show you whatever it is you need to see. It was a very intense but beautiful experience for me. Isa is an amazing facilitator and a real pro. I left the experience feeling incredibly refreshed and "reset". I feel I was able to feel bliss and happiness in a way I never had before. If you are thinking of trying bufo you couldn't be in better hands. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Isa!!"

Connor April, 2023

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart Isa!! This was an unbelievably profound and beautiful experience that I will never forget. I was quite nervous to try Bufo for the second time but Isa did an amazing job helping me feel calm and grounded before the ceremony began. I was able to receive the medicine and completely surrender to the experience in a very peaceful and blissful way. It is very intense but if you choose to surrender that is the key. It was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. This was my experience and everyone's experience will be different. This medicine has a way of showing you what you need to see and experience at this particular point in your life. It was also performed in the very quiet and peaceful mexican countryside, a great setting. Isa is a real pro. You will not regret this if you choose to try Bufo. Gracias Isa! "

"The ceremony with Isa was very intimate and full of love. I felt safe all the time, especially when some more complicated topics appeared. She explained everything very well, was fully present and also takes care during the integration phase. A wonderful and profound experience."

Calvin January, 2023

"Nothing but good things to say. Isa is a beautiful person with an awesome energy about her. I really felt that throughout our interactions she was operating purely from the heart. I have worked with a few natural medicines in the past, and after a couple of not so great experiences with other healers/ practitioners I have become very cautious and picky when it comes to choosing a guide for ceremonies. With that being said, Isa did not disappoint at all. I'm so glad I chose to work with her. She provided an amazing setting and went above and beyond to make sure I felt secure, safe, and well instructed. Everything was great! She seems very devoted to her work with the medicine. Bufo was an experience quite different to anything I have been through before. I definitely feel different. Like a profound shift on a deep subconscious level. It is all fresh for me so things are still unfolding, and will likely continue to do so for some time now. I trust in the process and welcome it all with an open heart and open arms. Thank you to the medicine and thank you Isa. I appreciate everything!"

Ido January, 2023

"Isa has a great space and beautiful house to make the ceremony, It was really nice and safe feeling all along. She explains everything very well and making sure you gonna have the best experience you need at the moment. It feels like she knows a lot about what she’s doing and how. I’m absolutely feel grateful for her and I can truly recommend the experience with her🙏"

Brigitte January, 2023

"Bufo was and is so an intense and strong experience for me. It's so difficult to describe anything. I just can say that there's so much healing with it. It changed something in me that feels like love, trust, understanding and compassion in everything. My guide Isa did an amazing job. I feeld always save. And the sound and singing of her was always just on point for every moment. I'm so thankful for this ceremony.🙏"

Jennifer January, 2023

"Isa held the space perfectly to allow my full receiving and integration of the toad experience. It was my first time - possibly my only time, for this is a sacred experience and not an everyday coping mechanism. For me it was about owning my divine nature , loving and accepting myself unreservedly. Another level took me to opening my heart to be in the flow of life. There was a trauma healing process that I went through of my own creation and volition. It may be different for you as we are all unique, the toad offers the medicine that is right for you and Isa creates the scene and circumstances to most the most of your personal experience with the toad whether it be a convenient bowl, sounds, tuition in the accessing method, talking integration etc. I trusted her and was proved right to do so."

Santiago October, 2022

"I had a great week for several reasons: Everyone on Barbaneas are very friendly, Yoga classes are really good and I experienced different types/schools of Yoga, Workshops were amazing and lot more. I definitely recommend this retreat. "

Frank June, 2022

"Kai and his team created a beautiful sanctuary in Puerto Escondido close to the beach . Beautifully landscaped with an artistic touch all Bungalows are very comfortable, clean and have a unique architecture . A natural water pool invites for splashing, or just napping in a hammock. The shared meals in an open-air kitchen are perfect to meet other guests. A feeling of belonging and family, makes the experience special. Thank you for having me."

Jennice April, 2022

"This gathering hosted by JoJo was a very sacred and special opportunity to dive into our own individual wisdom and knowing as well as to support other women through their process of healing. It was an opportunity to be witnessed and to witness others. I look forward to being able to drop into to another of JoJo's retreats in the future very much. I could not have anticipated a more selfless, kind, nurturing, patient, and accepting woman to inspire our women circle. The sacred land the retreat was hosted one impacted me in such a way that I will never forget. It is a truly remarkable offering be able to commune to deeply with the river, the springs, and in the arms of the women who attended. If you feel called at all to this gathering I could not recomend it more. "
