Onanya Pablo Bardales

Pablo Bardales Ahuanari is a gifted indigenous Shipibo Onánya (spirit doctor, meaning “the one who has wisdom” in Shipibo) who lives the Amazon Rainforest. Pablo was born into a family of healers and trained under his parents and grandparents. He has been dieting with plants almost his entire life and has been singing in ceremony since adolescence. He lives with his wife, children, and extended family in a small Amazonian town Atalaya, where he works as a healer for locals and is building his own center.

Pablo’s name in Shipibo, Pekun Rumo, means “flowered anaconda.” He felt the call to the plants and a path of service at a young age, and the long lineage of his ancestry is felt through his presence and wisdom. Pablo is extraordinarily pure. He is humble and compassionate, and his deep connection to the plant spirit world is clear through his remarkable healing gifts and icaros that touch your heart. He is very proficient at curing both physical and energetic maladies - such as chronic illnesses, ancestral wounds, and depression. He loves to make jokes and laughs a lot, reminding us of life’s beauty and ease. He truly has a pure heart and gives thanks for this opportunity to help others.
