About this Retreat
Your Guides
I am a dedicated guide and practitioner specializing in transformative healing experiences. My work is rooted in creating safe, supportive spaces for those ready to reclaim their power and reconnect with their true selves. With a background in both ancient ritual and modern therapeutic technique, I offer a direct, embodied approach to healing that’s as grounded as it is expansive.
As a Master Breathwork Trainer certified through Awakened Breath since 2023, I’ve guided hundreds of individuals and students in using the breath to release trauma, build resilience, and access deeper states of awareness. My sessions combine traditional breath practices with cutting-edge somatic tools, helping clients break free from chronic stress, anxiety, addiction patterns, codependency, and the internalized pressure to shrink or perform.
I’m also trained in Reiki Level 2 through 10,000 Names with Reiki Master Angela Updike. My energy work is subtle yet powerful—supporting the body’s natural healing response and restoring balance to the nervous system. When paired with intentional breath, it becomes a catalyst for profound inner shifts and self-awareness.
One of the most impactful elements of my path has been working with Bufo Alvarius (5-MeO-DMT). After two years of immersive study, I was initiated by Madhu Anand and the Family of Light in Tulum, Mexico in 2024. My approach to Bufo facilitation is built on deep reverence, safety, and presence—creating ceremonial containers that honor each person’s unique process. Integration is not optional—it’s central.
All of this experience has culminated in hosting and co-hosting over a dozen retreats, where I facilitate deep, transformational processes with a strong emphasis on integration and lasting change.
Before stepping into this work, I spent over six years in the fields of mental health and substance abuse recovery. That experience continues to inform every aspect of how I hold space—trauma-informed, heart-led, and fiercely honest.
I’m here for the ones ready to get real, go deep, and come home to themselves.

🌿 About This Event: EmpowerHER – The Reclamation Retreat
July 24–29, 2025 | Chakaruna 11:11 Sanctuary | Bucay, Ecuador
This is not your average women’s retreat.
Set deep in the Ecuadorian cloud forest at the foot of the Andes Mountains, we will be held at the stunning Chakaruna 11:11 Sanctuary, this retreat blends somatic healing, nature immersion, breathwork, ritual, and unfiltered sisterhood.
Each day focuses on a chakra and a powerful theme of reclamation:
Starting with the fundamental right to belong—rooted fully in your body and breath, and rooted into the retreat space!
Moving through pleasure, emotion, personal power, boundaries, love, truth, and vision.
The best part of this retreat is the pilgrimage to 7 sacred waterfalls, each aligned with a chakra, where you’ll collect water and fully reclaim apart of yourself for that energy center.
Nourishment comes from chef-prepared meals, the energy of the land, the intentional space, and the support of the other women and facilitators.
You won’t leave “healed.” You're going to leave RECLAIMED—fully embodied, more alive than ever, and unapologetically you.
This retreat is for women who:
Are new to the healing journey but demand depth and transformation
Are ready to shed perfectionism and reclaim their voice and power

Accommodation
Each room at our retreat is uniquely hand-painted, with vibrant, original artwork that reflects the spirit and beauty of the Andes. The intricate designs bring a sense of creativity and energy to every space, offering a truly immersive experience. This one-of-a-kind artwork not only enhances the aesthetic of the venue but also deepens your connection to the land and the journey you’re on.
The Ganesh Suite ($3,500) is a spacious, fully air-conditioned private room with its own en-suite bathroom, created for deep rest, reflection, and integration. Hand-painted by a local artist and intentionally designed by the sanctuary’s owner, the space blends sacred symbolism with grounded luxury. A stunning mural of Ganesh, the gentle, elephant-headed goddess of new beginnings, graces the room—offering protection, clarity, and a reminder that your path is being cleared as you step into your power. Peacock imagery flows throughout the space, representing vision, self-expression, and spiritual rebirth. Known for their beauty and boldness, the peacock invites you to be fully seen—embodying the grace and confidence that comes from reclaiming your truth. This suite is more than a room—it’s a temple of transformation, holding you as you rise.
For those craving privacy, comfort, and beauty—our Private Room option ($2,900) offers a handcrafted sanctuary all your own. Each room is fully air-conditioned and features its own private en-suite bathroom, providing the perfect environment for deep rest and integration. Designed and hand-painted by the sanctuary’s owner, who brings a background in interior design and sacred space curation, these rooms are truly one-of-a-kind. From the color palettes to the murals, every detail is intentional—crafted to support your nervous system and hold you through your transformation. Surrounded by the lush Ecuadorian jungle at the base of the Andes Mountains, this space invites stillness, reflection, and renewal.
Our Shared Room option ($2,500) offers a beautiful balance of connection and comfort. These rooms are spacious, air-conditioned, and hand-painted, each one uniquely crafted by the sanctuary’s owner, whose background in interior design brings artistry and intention into every corner. Designed to feel nurturing and grounded, the shared spaces are thoughtfully arranged to allow personal space while fostering a sense of community and ease. You'll have access to a shared bathroom, beautifully maintained and created with the same attention to detail as every part of the sanctuary. Surrounded by vibrant jungle and the healing energy of the Andes Mountains, this shared space is perfect for women who want to connect, reflect, and rest in a supportive sisterhood environment.
