As a former nurse, Tamara realized early on that compassion is at the heart of healing. This understanding led her to explore holistic well-being, becoming a breathworker, bodyworker, Reiki practitioner, and yoga teacher. Her journey into plant medicine and indigenous healing traditions deepened when she trained under a Mestizo Maestro and, more recently, a Shipibo Maestro from Peru.
Her work is a bridge between modern therapeutic practices and ancient indigenous wisdom. She facilitates and leads psychedelic retreats with The Medicine Tribe, and Beckley Retreats, integrating music, somatic healing, and energy work to guide people through their personal transformations. Singing is one of the ways of sharing her medicine. Beyond her role as a facilitator, Tamara has an extensive entrepreneurial and financial background. She has worked in finance and project administration, overseeing budget management for monumental building restorations, ensuring financial integrity in large- scale projects. She has also owned and managed a restaurant, bringing together her passion for hospitality, community, and well-being.
Tamara is actively involved in harm reduction and psychedelic education, collaborating with ICEERS and Liaan to train facilitators in safety protocols. She also works with the FOP (Fellowship Of Psychonauts) to develop training programs for spaceholders, ensuring ethical and effective facilitation.
Her vision is not just about guiding individual healing journeys but about creating a movement for accessible, responsible, and deeply respectful psychedelic work. Through Mother’s House Foundation, she is dedicated to funded retreats, community programs, and facilitator training, ensuring that healing is not a privilege but a right available to all.
For her, this is not just a profession—it’s a calling and a way of life.
