About the Host

I blend nearly two decades of scientific training with deep experience in ancestral and alternative healing. Following my studies in Molecular Biology, Immunology and Genetics, I worked in the field of clinical research in the MENA region for around 7 years leading Phase I, II, III & IV studies in Lebanon, Turkey and Egypt. My own healing journey was happening while still being in the corporate world. For years, I immersed myself in Hatha Yoga (basic, advanced and therapy), Vipassana (Nepal & Lebanon), Ayurveda (introductory course – India)), Therapeutic Thai Bodywork (beginner, advanced and therapy – Greece and Thailand), and energy medicine (crystals, sound and other) which laid the foundation for seeing healing as both sacred art and science shared with individuals and groups.
After spending 4 years attending plant medicine retreats in the Amazon, I was formally offered an apprenticeship with Western and Amazonian Master Curanderos (Medicine Men) where I was part of a shamanic team holding retreats on a regular basis with 30-40 guests / week with a schedule of 3 7-days retreats / month. I took part in managing part of the Peruvian team, building community and launching a small shamanic tools boutique to support guests during their integration phase. I deepened my work in Mexico, offering daily practices to honor the reciprocity with nature, lineage, and spirit.
For the past eight years, I have guided shamanic journeywork, lunar gatherings, and microdosing cycles with integration practices to support each person’s path with nature's cyclical rhythms.
In 2024, I was offered a scholarship and completed a year-long Psychedelic Integrative Studies program (VITAL – Psychedelics Today), refining my approach as a Psychedelic-Informed Practitioner and bridging scientific insight with shamanic wisdom for personal and collective transformation.
