Juan Calazacon

With over 25 years of experience, Juan is a guiding light for future generations. He dedicates his time to teaching children about ancestral medicine, helping preserve their traditions. Specializing in trauma healing and building inner confidence, Juan is deeply passionate about his work. Despite his expertise, he is often described as a gentle and pure soul, making him exceptional for integration.

Recognized as one of the finest healers in his province, Juan's contributions to his community are widely celebrated. He holds the unique distinction of being crowned as a shaman by all seven elders of his community—an honor that speaks to his profound knowledge and dedication to ancestral plant medicine.

While many claim the title of healer, taita, or shaman, it’s crucial to note that only three certified shamans in Ecuador under the elder age exist—two in the Amazon and the third being Juan. This rare recognition is both a privilege and a tremendous honor for him, his family, and his community.
