I have been apprenticing with plant medicines since 2020 through traditional Amazonian lineages and direct experience supporting individuals and groups.

My early training was with Metsa Nihue, whose work draws from the ancestral medicine traditions of the Quechua-Lamista, Aguaruna, and Shipibo peoples. In recent years, I have undertaken master plant dietas in the Shipibo tradition with Maestra Matilde Gomez Korin Beka in Iquitos, Peru. I also continue my relationship with the plants through soft dietas at home, held by Kat Courtney of Plant Medicine People.

I support and co-facilitate women’s ayahuasca retreats in Peru alongside Shipibo maestras Rosenda Flores and Maria Lopez.

For this ceremony, I draw on that foundation to work intentionally with cacao, rose, and bobinsana in ways that honor both the plants and the needs of each couple.

I am a certified sexological bodyworker, somatic sex educator, intimacy coach, and sacred sexuality practitioner. My work is grounded in extensive training and experience with consent, nervous-system attunement, embodied communication, intentional touch, and relational and erotic repatterning.

I have supported individuals and couples in becoming more present in their bodies, communicating their desires and boundaries, and creating forms of touch and intimacy that feel more connected and satisfying.

During your ceremony, I draw on this experience to guide partnered practices while continually making space for the needs, boundaries, and pace of both people.

The ceremony is not explicitly sexual. It may, however, include sensual or intimate touch between you and your partner.

Depending on your intentions and comfort level, I may offer practices ranging from affectionate touch and shared breath to clothed genital holding, sometimes called a “genital hug.” This is never assumed or required. I tailor the ceremony to each couple, and any more intimate practice is offered only when it feels genuinely comfortable and aligned for both of you.

The focus is not on sexual performance or arousal. It is on presence, communication, emotional intimacy, and learning to listen more deeply to one another’s bodies. These capacities can naturally support a more connected and satisfying sex life.

That is completely welcome. You do not need to arrive with the same desires, comfort level, or capacity for intimacy. The ceremony is shaped around where both of you genuinely are, rather than where either of you thinks you should be.

Everything I offer is an invitation. I create ongoing opportunities for each of you to express your desires, boundaries, and needs. Either partner may modify or decline any practice at any time, without pressure or needing to justify the choice.

We will only explore practices that feel mutually welcome. Sometimes the most meaningful work is not expanding into more touch, but learning to notice, communicate, and honor what is true for each of you.

No. This ceremony is an experiential, body-based offering and is not a substitute for couples therapy or mental health treatment.

It can be a meaningful complement to therapy, especially for couples who have developed insight into their relationship patterns and now want to practice new ways of connecting through the body. The plants and ritual space can also help reveal new truths, deepen understanding, and open levels of emotional, physical, and spiritual connection that may be difficult to access in ordinary life.

This ceremony is designed to nourish connection, not to mediate an active crisis or resolve serious relationship harm.

If you are navigating intense conflict, coercion, abuse, an undisclosed betrayal, or uncertainty about remaining in the relationship, another form of support will be more appropriate. Your discovery call gives us space to honestly assess whether this ceremony can serve you both.

Ceremonial cacao, rose, and bobinsana are non-psychedelic plants. You will remain clear, present, and fully aware throughout the ceremony.

Cacao may feel warming, gently energizing, and emotionally opening. Rose may invite tenderness, sensory awareness, and greater access to the sensual body. Bobinsana is traditionally associated with emotional sensitivity, relational connection, and the wisdom of the heart. These effects are subtle, personal, and not guaranteed; everyone experiences the plants differently.

The combination of the plants, ritual, music, intentional touch, and focused attention can create a subtly altered state. If you are particularly sensitive, you may notice a gentle shift from your ordinary state of awareness, but you will not experience a psychedelic journey. Everyone responds differently.

Cacao naturally contains caffeine and theobromine. Please let me know before booking if either partner is pregnant, has a heart condition, is significantly sensitive to stimulants, or takes medication that may interact with cacao. The ceremony can be adjusted when needed.

Come in comfortable clothing that allows you to move and relax. I recommend leaving spaciousness around the ceremony so you are not rushing in or immediately returning to obligations afterward.

Before we meet, you will both complete a brief intake. I will share any additional preparation guidance based on your chosen plant support and the intentions we establish together.

The complimentary discovery call serves as an initial intake. We will talk about what is drawing you to the ceremony, what you hope to nourish in your relationship, and any questions or concerns you may have.

The call also gives all of us an opportunity to feel into whether the ceremony is aligned before moving forward.
