BIO
I was born in Hermosillo Sonora in the winter of 1981. From an early age I liked to play in nature and I became a deep admirer of it. I had the joy of living with desert animal species such as tortoises, rattlesnakes, hares, rabbits, roadrunners, scorpions, tarantulas and of course, the Sonoran Desert toad (Bufo alvarius), among many others.
At a very young age I was initiated in psychonautics and I have experienced in my own Being, the power of transformation that entheogens offer.
One of the most significant experiences I have had - since it would define my new interests - was with psilocybin mushrooms in the mountains of Oaxaca and opened a process of communication with my body that made me realize how every decision, action, word and feeling that I have lived, left a mark on my being, altering my functioning in life, while showing me my own power and the possibility of freeing myself from all conditioning, initiating an enriching process that has radically transformed my life.
I then focused on studying different techniques oriented to the general wellbeing of the body, becoming certified in Ayurvedic, Thai, Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage, as well as a teacher of Hatha Tantra Yoga and Meditation.
Convinced by my own experience of how feelings create conditions in the body, I became a passionate student of bio-neuroemocion.
Pioneer in the recent history of the 5-MeO-DMT from the Incilius (Bufo) alvarius, in 2011 as part of a health and arts interdisciplinary group, together with several indigenous elders of the Seri tribe, we established the historic project "Fundación OT A.C.", a civil association that introduced the use of the secretion of the toad into the shamanic rituals of the native peoples of the Sonoran Desert. A pilot program was initiated to help these populations heal their addiction to crystal methamphetamine with surprising results. The popularity of the substance and thus an important part of the "psychedelic renaissance" occurred as a result. I am also part of a small number of people who collect the substance ourselves in an ethical and responsible manner, more than 95% of what is used annually by different facilitators, comes from abusive collections and farms that put the stability of the species populations at risk.
The 5-MeO-DMT (found in the poisonous secretion of the parotid glands) of Bufo gave me the ultimate experience of integration with the whole, the greatest feeling of fullness and gratitude I have ever experienced in my life, the peace and freedom of feeling through and beyond my body, an experience of wholeness that reminded me that life is a playground for experimentation.
I tried MDMA in front of the sea, and it also represented a turning point. I could feel every single grain of sand on my skin and the caress of the wind was enchanting, I felt enveloped in a self-love that extended to my friends and beyond. The presence in the moment was total and the connection to the sense of touch led me to visualize integrating this substance into my body therapies. So, I did, and the results are amazing.
From my own experience and studies, I have developed personal embodiment techniques to facilitate deep and transformative experiences. I have dedicated the last 12 years of my life to sharing these techniques through my therapies and individual sessions. I have worked in Mexico, Peru, Spain, France, Belgium, Netherlands, England, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Morocco and Thailand.
Life is now!
