Krista - Medicine Woman

I met Krista at the first retreat I went to at MexiSoul (which is everything they claim and so much more- I would recommend watch testimonial videos on their website-there are hundreds-you can really get a feel for what the experience there, is like). From our first interaction, I knew I was in the presence of someone who had done her own work and was able to create and hold space for me and my healing. While I am careful not to pedestal people, she isn't someone who I would be inclined to do that to. Because she is so real. She is a woman who completely embodies authenticity and therefor offers a clear mirror for others to do the hard work of seeing their own authentic selves. After my time with Krista at my first retreat (she was supporting, but not leading that retreat) I knew I wanted to come back and experience a retreat that she was leading, with her medicine of choice, psilocybin. I'm glad I followed through on that promise to myself. What I personally appreciate about Krista, is that she doesn't offer a lot "noise" or excessive input during the ceremonies, she gets out of the way and instead, creates a container that is big enough, clear enough, and safe enough that allows for YOUR journey to emerge, unfold, and that allows for whatever is meant for you. To me, she is a magician of sorts, an alchemist who embodies, creates and offers a potent and powerful journey space. I trust her completely, and most importantly, in her presence, I trust myself. Her life story is one that lends to being a person that many can relate to and and draw inspiration from. If you have an opportunity to sit in ceremony with Krista, you should do it, as it is a great honor and privilege to do so.

I was so supported during the ceremonies with Krista. She was loving and supportive always. A true gift to my experience at Mexi soul

It might seem strange for a middle-aged woman to call another woman "Mom"—especially when she doesn’t even look old enough to be one. But she gave me the childhood experience I was robbed of by my own mother, and for that, I cannot thank her enough.

She held my hands sincerely and encouraged me to walk through my journey. The words she told me—“You are enough. You are strong. You are loved.”—still live within me, and they always will.

I know life will continue to challenge me, but with all the strength she gave me, I know I can face it. I am willing to keep doing the work because now I believe I deserve to enjoy as well.
