Ashley's story highlights the profound impact of self-discovery and healing through psychedelic integration, yoga, and spirituality. After a transformative encounter with Psilocybe Cubensis mushrooms in 2003, she shifted her focus to creative and spiritual pursuits, deepening her journey with Kundalini and Tantric yoga, and Ayahuasca ceremonies.

 

Her master's in counseling psychology, with a focus on Transpersonal Psychology, furthered her exploration into holistic healing. Ashley's experiences with Kambo and Bufo in 2020 reinforced her dedication to presence, acceptance, and accountability.

 

Based in Fort Worth, Texas, she now offers integration services, coaching, and therapeutic experiences, inspiring others towards wholeness and purpose with her story of transformation.

Meet Brad & Sarah, Ayahuasca Shamans

Brad and Sarah's journey is one of deep connection to the soul's true essence. Brad, with his years of study and experience, creates a space of profound healing through his quiet wisdom and deep compassion. His ceremonies feel like a long, loving embrace that brings you back to yourself. Sarah, devoted to the Divine feminine, channels ancient wisdom through music and prayer. Together, their ceremonies are sacred spaces where tradition and love guide you to rediscover your infinite light and boundless love.

 

Brad and Sarah have worked closely with this medicine across different cultures for over a decade. Before they decided to branch off on their own to make this medicine more accessible to people, they worked closely with Taita Juanito, Luis, and Carlos from the documentary “The Medicine”. Sarah and Brad were also the shamans who held ceremonies at the world-renowned spiritual resort Ryhtmia.
