Each retreat is a sacred journey—rooted in Andean and Amazonian traditions, guided by experienced healers, and held with genuine care and integrity. We keep our groups intentionally small, with no more than six guests, allowing for personal attention, emotional safety, and deep connection.

Kirsten, 2026
"Never in my life have I felt so held in a ceremony than I did with Katie. Soo intuitive, so kind and caring, I truly felt like she was really actually blessing me with her words, actions, touch, and space holding. It was like a kind of mothering in a way that I’ve needed my entire life.
The songs, the changing up of instruments, the fire keeping; so so so beautiful. Forever grateful.
I deeply needed this.
And the scenery; the way Ecuador and all its animals hold you is nothing like I’ve ever experienced in my life. So beautiful so grateful🙏"
Rosalin, 2025
"A sincere thanks to Katie and Miguel. Katie was incredibly hospitable, patient, attentive and kind. Im not sure I knew what “holding space” really looked like before her example. I am grateful for my time with her. Her expertise added value to my life. Her patience and complete lack of judgement was like nothing I had experienced in a very long time. I was not sure what to expect from a plant medicine retreat, but I am glad I participated and I hope to participate again one day, when the need comes. For now, I have a clearer path. Thank you Katie. Your work is important."
Madleen, 2025
"Katie & Miguel have held the best space in ceremony out of anyone I know. I’ve partaken in ceremony with a few different healers. They are so humble. They are so balanced, and you can tell that they are truly here to be in service to humanity. During ceremonies I couldn’t help but just be in awe of the both of them for how well they held the space together."
Natalie, 2025
"My retreat with Allpa Mama Healing was truly beautiful. The setting was breathtaking, with a comfortable home nestled among stunning mountains, creating the perfect space for deep healing. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, from the fresh and delicious food to the warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Katie is an incredible guide—knowledgeable, patient, and deeply connected to the work she does. She creates a space that is both safe and sacred, ensuring that each ceremony is powerful and deeply meaningful. Her flexibility and genuine care make the experience even more special.
If you’re looking for an authentic, transformative, and healing journey, I highly recommend Allpa Mama Healing. It was an experience I will always cherish."
Sam, 2025
"This was my first healing retreat and maybe the best thing I've ever gifted myself. Katie and Miguel are so kind, humble, and deeply present with each person's unique journey. I felt so safe, held and loved, and realized a profound well of love, clarity, joy, and trust within myself like I've never felt before. What a relief to shed the heaviness I'd been carrying, to receive so much nourishment. Do yourself a favor and go if you feel called ;) it will be so rewarding."
The Sacred Medicine of San Pedro
San Pedro, also known as Huachuma or Aguacolla, has been used for thousands of years throughout the Andes for healing, prayer, vision, and spiritual connection.
Known as the "Heart-Opening Medicine," San Pedro gently helps quiet the mind while expanding awareness and connection to the natural world. Many people experience greater emotional clarity, renewed purpose, deeper self-love, and a profound sense of connection with life.
This sacred cactus is traditionally used to:
- Open the heart and deepen self-awareness
- Release emotional wounds and limiting patterns
- Strengthen intuition and spiritual connection
- Gain clarity around life's challenges and purpose
- Cultivate gratitude, joy, and inner peace
- Restore harmony between mind, body, spirit, and nature
Every journey is unique, and the medicine often gives each person exactly what they need in that moment of their path.
Through San Pedro ceremonies, cacao, song, shamanic rituals and herbal medicine, we’ll release the old and return to love, joy and the creative life force within.

 The Way We Work
Our approach honors traditional Andean and Amazonian lineages while creating a grounded, safe space for personal healing. Every retreat includes limpias, plant baths, fire rituals, and integration practices to help you prepare, receive, and embody the teachings of the plants. We keep our groups small—six guests maximum—to ensure each person receives the care, attention, and energetic support they need.
These medicines are not a shortcut or an escape—they are a sacred mirror, showing us what is ready to be healed and guiding us back to the wisdom that already lives within.
