San Pedro, also known as Huachuma or Aguacolla, has been used for thousands of years in the Andes for healing, vision, and spiritual awakening. He opens the heart, quiets the mind, and connects you deeply to nature, your soul, and the divine. He opens our energy channels so that we can see our life in a different way, and positive spirits and energies can come in to work and heal physical, mental and spiritual health imbalances and illnesses.
Along with the help of this sacred medicine, we support you to release emotional blocks, see with clarity, and remember your true essence. Ceremonies are held in a safe, respectful way, honoring ancestral traditions and the wisdom of the plants. Each journey is unique, offering powerful insight, healing and connection.
Through San Pedro ceremonies, cacao, song, shamanic rituals and herbal medicine, weāll release the old and return to love, joy and the creative life force within.

Abi, 2024
"Wow. Year after year I come back to work with Katie and Miguel for their sacred plant medicine retreats and ceremonies. Everytime I feel so taken care of, protected, and nurtured in their healing space. If you are considering experimenting with sacred plant medicines, feeling a deep sense of trust and guidance with your shamans, their traditions, and medicine is the foundation for the soul expanding connections and insights you will receive from a ceremony with Allpa Mama Healing. Thank you, Katie and Miguel for sharing your gifts with the world-- for holding healing space with respect, reverence, unity and unconditional Love."Ā
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 Iāve 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 Iāve ever experienced in my life. So beautiful so gratefulš."
Yasmin, 2026
"I went into this journey not knowing what I was truly stepping into. All I knew was that I was open ā open to receive whatever the universe had waiting for me.
Katie is exceptionally amazing on what she does. Sheās so soft she makes you feel safe and seen the whole entire time.
This experience changed me in ways words can barely explain. It reminded me to slow down, to trust the path unfolding before me, and to reconnect with myself on a deeper spiritual level.
If youāre looking for a transformation, I highly suggest a retreat"
Rosalin, 2025
"Katie was incredibly hospitable, patient, attentive and kind. Im not sure I knew what āholding spaceā 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."
