How Humans Heal

Too often when women are dealing with health issues—whether menstrual-related problems, perimenopause, menopause, vaginal infections, recurrent yeast, BV, high-risk HPV, or abnormal pap smears—we're left without enough information.

More Episodes

Many of you have been asking me about my recent trip to a healing retreat center in the Peruvian Amazon, so in this episode I'm going to be sharing about my experience at the healing retreat center, why you may want to consider going to a retreat center or doing a detox or reset type program, and also why a person might consider using psychedelic plant medicines, such as Ayahuasca, as a way to support your healing process.

This video is going to be helpful for you if you have tested positive for high-risk HPV virus and maybe abnormal cells on your cervix and potential risk of cervical cancer or vaginal cancer, or any other kind of cancer for that matter.

This will also be helpful for those of you who are working to conceive a pregnancy and prevent a miscarriage, and those of you who are going through perimenopause and post-menopausal symptoms, weight gain, blood sugar issues, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, migraines, autoimmune conditions, and simply wanting to prevent other health issues like heart disease and dementia. So really, this information could be helpful for all of us humans to heal!

I hope this gives you new hope and inspiration for your ability to heal. Don't give up – believe me, I've been at the very bottom. I've experienced all the edges of human reality. I've been through pain and suffering. I understand. You’re not alone. Healing is possible.

I’m here to help you!
