"A truly gifted inspirational healer"

I have had the blessing of knowing Athena for several years – and though I have been to many of her events over that time, I am struck by what incredibly strong, wonderful memories I have of ones that happened even years ago. And in one-to-one sessions, her clarity and spiritual insight is unmistakable. Athena is a truly gifted healer, musician, muse, advisor, and nurturer; I feel so fortunate to know this infinitely generous and loving person. In all her deeds, she exhibits so much remarkable drive and inspiration; spending time with her is a delight one will always treasure.

"A true Maestra"

I first worked with Athena in 2016, when I was finishing my studies. The years leading to that point was a heady mixture of adventures and tumult. Desperate to recover my health and sanity, I looked at a number of healing retreats before coming across Athena.

I felt an electrical connection right away. Her international upbringing made it likely that I could trust her with the particular wounds that come with growing up in multiple cultures. When I reached out to her, I was expecting a brief and impersonal response, but what I got was a sincere note that acknowledged my journey. Health and safety are of the utmost importance to me. Athena’s personal touch made me feel she would look after me. Three years and many retreats later, I feel the same way. The beautiful souls she shares her practice with are a reflection of the love and integrity she lives by.

In ceremonies, I am especially impressed by the deftness with which she guides wayward attention to a grounded state. She is able to do so in ceremonies that last the whole night and move through different phases. I am grateful to sit with a maestra who understands my desire to go deep and is compassionate toward what arises.

I will forever remember the night in the ceremonial space after one of the most meaningful experiences in my life. As night turned into morning, she called my name to see if I was asleep. I heard her but was too exhausted to respond. Still, she whispered to me, “Buenas noches, Hermana.” Then she made her way to the exit, every sock-muffled footstep a kiss.

"A gift from Great Spirit"

Working with and sitting with Athena in ceremony for a few years now has completely changed my life in such a beautiful way. When I first met this amazing sister and medicine woman I was in such despair and my life was not working on many different planes.

Through gentle guidance, clearing and transmission of light, she has seen me through a miraculous transformation in my life and being. I now am so much lighter, joyful and carry my own medicine with a grounded sense of being, love and compassion for myself and others. I am forever grateful for this beautiful spirit.

"A powerful, intuitive healer"

Athena is a gifted and graceful facilitator who possesses a deep well of experience. She is very intuitive, compassionate, and capable of channelling and holding powerful energies. She is a natural healer. I have been to 13 ceremonies she has facilitated and I have always felt safe with her and in expert hands. If you’re looking for someone who walks the walk, Athena is your woman.

"There are no words"

Joining Athena on retreat may have been the most powerful week of my life!

So much healing, so much transformation and there are truly no words for the immense amount of gratitude I feel for her and the most important work she is doing.

I am incredibly honored to have been able to work with such a powerful healer and am looking forward to working with her again. At her retreat I felt safe, loved and so deeply cared for. I can’t even express how full my heart was, coming home after just seven days.

If you are called to the medicine and need to work with a healer who is not only doing her own work but also committed to a path of integrity, Athena is your girl!

Hands down the retreat I’ve been to. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your commitment to this path Athena!!!

"Light in the Darkness"

I met Athena and Jeremy years ago when I had the blessing of sitting with them in ceremony, which they facilitated.

Immediately, I know I was in a safe and sacred space and in the presence of genuine healers. Their medicine is beautiful and powerful and has helped me so much on my journey. I have also had many healing sessions with Athena. She truly is the light for me as I navigate a deep soul journey. She has supported and been there to guide me when I need her most.

I am so grateful to have found such a beautiful soul sister. Anyone would be blessed to work with her. Much love and gratitude ❤️

"One of a kind"

I’ve had the immense pleasure of taking part in three separate plant medicine ceremonies with Athena and her husband Jeremy. As someone who has incredible difficulty in ‘letting go’, I immediately felt so comfortable with Athena’s attention to detail surrounding all aspects of the ceremony.

In my last ceremony with them, I was having a difficult time (still struggling to ‘let go’) and was constantly being brought back to my centre by Athena and her incredibly kind, nurturing spirit.

I LOVE how Athena brings the best of the ceremonial traditions from Peru but also mixes that in with an upbringing in more traditional Western culture. So amazing and unique to sit with someone who is so incredibly knowledgeable with the ancient ways but yet can also relate to the modern world! Athena was also so attentive to proper integration and followed up, regularly checking in with me to see how I was doing or to see if I had any questions. I soooooo highly recommend Athena to anyone that is looking at going down this path of inner discovery!!

"Power Woman"

Athena has been instrumental to my personal healing journey. In her grounded, nurturing way, she has held sacred space, invoked spirit, gathered the women, sung to the bones, guided journeys, voiced her heart, unearthed the depths, birthed the new, and seen through-and-through. I am ever-grateful for her wise and loving offering. Highly recommended.

"The wisdom within"

There is a fine and beautiful quality to Athena’s work as a medicine woman and healer. She is brave, strong, and bold and touched me so much with her ability to connect with me on a very transcendent, deep level. With her I was able to finally work on and face some of my rather deep-rooted issues – so much so that I was able to move on, change and step towards the light.

Experiencing her working with song and touch is such a special beautiful treat and resonated with my body and soul for a long time. I found true inspiration in her work with me and would highly recommend Athena to anyone who is seeking true healing, being rooted, and enlightenment.

Deepening Your Understanding of the Path and Our Practices

Find clarity on our traditions, safety protocols, and the sacred journey of the plant medicine experience.

What are the Ancestral Wisdoms Traditions and how do you honor it?

We are deeply rooted in the Ancestral Wisdom Traditions of the Peruvian Amazon. Our work is guided by traditional icaros (sacred songs) and ancestral techniques passed down through generations, ensuring the medicine is practiced with the highest cultural integrity.

Safety is our foundation. We maintain high-integrity spaces via thorough medical screening, trained facilitators, and small group sizes. We bridge ancient healing with modern safety standards to provide a secure environment for deep soul work.
A Dieta is a dedicated period of communion with a specific teacher plant. It is designed for students seeking deeper healing or training. We offer both immersive and remote containers to support your unique level of experience.
No prior experience is necessary, but a heart open to “Radical Faith” and transformation is essential. We offer guidance for both beginners and long-term students of the medicine path to ensure everyone feels supported.
We believe in a reciprocal relationship with the land. A portion of our proceeds goes toward philanthropy and replanting initiatives in the Amazon, ensuring we give back more than we take from the ecosystems that sustain us.
Integration is where the healing takes root. We provide resources, prayer, and meditation practices to help you bridge the wisdom gained during ceremony into your modern, daily life for lasting transformation.

Preparation involves both physical and spiritual alignment. We provide a detailed guide on the “dieta” (dietary) requirements and intentional practices to help you arrive with clarity and openness to the Great Spirit.

Our mission is built on the belief that personal healing is planetary healing. By helping individuals return to their divine nature and live in harmony with the Earth, we contribute to the collective awakening of all beings.

Embrace the Sacred Journey Toward Personal and Planetary Healing

Step into a high-integrity container of ancient wisdom to reconnect with the Great Spirit and your divine nature.
