Allpa Mama Healing
Allpa Mama (Mother Earth) Healing in Ecuador
We are devoted to the path of spiritual healing, earth-based wisdom, and ancestral remembrance. Our work is rooted in reverence for nature, spirit, and the sacred intelligence of the Earth. Through retreats, ceremonial spaces, plant-based traditions, and online teachings, we create safe and intentional containers for deep transformation, healing, and soul awakening.
We believe that true healing happens when we return to our connection with the earth, the heart, and the unseen spiritual realms. Our mission is to walk alongside those who feel called to remember who they are, release what no longer serves them, and reconnect with their inner light through prayer, ritual, meditation, and sacred relationship with nature.
Our spaces are held with respect, integrity, and humility, honoring both ancient lineages and the unique journey of each soul who enters.
Our retreats are special and very intimate, as we work with only 6 guests at a time. This helps to ensure we can truly get to know you and give you the attention and care needed in ceremony.
As part of the Andean perspective of "ayni" or sacred reciprocity, aĀ percent of the profits goes towards the reforestation of sacred plants in southern Ecuador.
We look foward to welcoming you into our family!

Taita Miguel
Curandero / Shaman
Taita Miguel is a traditional curandero from Ecuador with 30 years of experience working with thousands of clients from around the world. He holds ceremonies with Ayahuasca, San Pedro and Wilka. He also offers shamanic trainings for those that want to step on the path of healing with sacred plants.
He began his journey learning from elders of the Andes learning to work with San Pedro as a teen, after experiencing hardships as a child. This medicine saved his life. After this, he was taught the almost-lost tradition of Mama Wilka from an elder Bolivian shaman. From there, he learned from several Shuar shamans of the jungle how to work with Ayahuasca.
He is a gifted healer and humble, down-to-Earth person.Ā
