Svetlana – Psychotherapist & Ayahuasca Integration Guide
Svetlana is a psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience supporting healing and integration with Ayahuasca. Her approach blends clinical psychology with mindfulness practices, including Vipassana meditation, and is grounded in both scientific knowledge and lived experience.
Her work has been primarily in Peru, where she manages Onaya, a family-based travel and healing agency in the rainforest of Cusco. She has also lived in Europe and the United States, gaining perspectives that enrich her vision of life and her therapeutic practice. Alongside her professional training, Svetlana has undertaken traditional plant medicine dietas in the Amazon with experienced teachers, deepening her own healing journey.
She holds space with humility, compassion, and clarity—offering guidance before, during, and after the retreat. Guests describe her presence as grounding and supportive, helping create the safe, intimate environment that Onaya is known for. Testimonials about her work can be found on Onaya’s TripAdvisor, or by connecting directly to schedule a session with her.
