About me
I'm Fatua, a spirit-led practitioner working at the intersection of plant medicine, ancestral mediumship, and integrative counseling.
I've been walking the holistic healing path for over a decade, immersed in the medicine traditions of the Peruvian Amazon and Andes, and in the Shona ancestral lineage of Zimbabwe since 2018.
My work is for women and seekers in seasons of deep transformation, those ready to face what they've been hiding from and step into who they're becoming.
Plant Medicine & The Peruvian Amazon
In 2018, I sat in my first ayahuasca ceremony with the Shipibo lineage. What began as curiosity & a search for inner healing became a calling. I followed it to Peru, where I've spent the years since apprenticing with my Shipibo and mestizo maestros, Hilda Arevalo Rojas and Loyver Yui, partaking in the tradition of master plant dietas, which connect me to the songs, wisdom, and healing power of the plants.
I spend several months each year living in the Amazon, facilitating sacred medicine retreats at Novalis, a center for rainforest conservation and cultural preservation in Madre de Dios, Peru, alongside a multicultural team native to the region.
Kambo & The Matses
I'm honored to carry kambo, known as acate by the indigenous Matses people, the Amazonian frog medicine. I learned to harvest and serve the medicine without harming the frogs in the Amazon alongside Johnny Java, of the Kichwa and Matses lineages. I'm a certified kambo practitioner trained with Boa Cowee, with continued specialized study under Caitlin Thompson.
Mediumship & The Shona Lineage of Zimbabwe
I've been initiated as a spirit medium in the Shona traditions of Zimbabwe, under the guidance of Samaita Jonathan Dube. My work in this lineage moves through ancestral connection, council, African drumming, plant spirit communication, and prayer. During my time in Africa, I also studied Shona traditional healing and herbalism, and was entrusted with a sacred ancestral medicine from the bush.
Energy Medicine & The Andes
I'm a certified energy medicine practitioner trained through Alberto Villoldo's Four Winds Light Body School, in the lineage of the Q'ero people of the high Andes. The energy medicine sessions I offer are inspired by these teachings.
Psychedelic Integration
I'm a certified psychedelic integration counselor, trained through Shiri Godasi's Psyched Soul Master Program. I offer one-on-one therapeutic containers for those preparing for, navigating, or returning from journeys in the psychedelic realms: a safe, reflective space to integrate what was felt, seen, or asked of you.
Integrative Counseling
Years of holding space for people in the jungle has shown me which themes return to the surface; the body, intimacy, relationship, and ancestral patterning. These are the territories I am called to walk with people in their everyday lives, not just in ceremony.
My Path Before Peru
Before the Amazon, I studied art at university in Colorado and dove deep into yoga. From there I moved to the island of Kauai, where I trained as a massage therapist at the Pacific Center for Awareness and Bodywork, studied lomi lomi with Wayne Kealohi Powell, became Reiki attuned, and taught yoga at a local studio. Those years on island were where everything since has grown from.
Where to Find Me
I travel internationally, with my home base moving between Tulum, Mexico, Taos, New Mexico, and the Peruvian Amazon.
Cacao, Sound & Music
In 2019, I birthed Soul Melody Cacao, my cacao and herbal tincture business, born from a friendship with Jané, a cacao farmer who lives up the river from Novalis. Through it, I support indigenous farmers in Peru and Guatemala.
Music is woven through everything I do. I'm a songwriter, ukulele player, and African drummer, having studied with Chris Berry and Baba Fred Simpson, and these threads inform my sound healing work directly. I host This Mystical Life, a podcast where I sit with teachers, healers, and seekers from traditions across the world.
