Helaine Payayá

Born in Salvador, Bahia, Helaine has been a student of the forest medicines for over 11 years, dedicating the last five to studying the ancestral traditions of the Huni Kuī people of the Amazon.

Spiritually, she carries in her lineage the wisdom of Quimbanda, which she harmoniously integrates with the ancestral knowledge of the Amazon and the Northeast of Brazil. Her own healing journey through the forest medicines led her through profound self-knowledge — overcoming depression and anxiety, and rediscovering a professional and spiritual path that brings her genuine joy and health.
