  • Psicologa Integrativa Yoga Astrologia

    Camy Lázaro San Andrés

    Gestalt therapist psychologist, specializes in life process accompaniment, mindfulness tools, and evolutionary astrology archetypes.

    In 2006, I embarked on my learning journey with master plants shortly after graduating as a clinical psychologist and simultaneously deepening my practice as a yoga and meditation teacher. For me, the synergy between these two sources of knowledge is inseparable.

    Born in Mexico and raised in Europe, I've had the privilege to learn and work from diverse cultures and perspectives. I've explored the systemic aspects related to family and lineage systems, delved into cognitive-behavioral approaches that examine the power of affirmations, beliefs, and habits in shaping personal reality, explored the psycho-corporal realm, which unlocks the unconscious, memories, and the heart, embraced the importance of authentic bonds that emphasize respecting and listening to the wisdom of one's own process, and immersed myself in evolutionary archetypes that enable us to center ourselves in our creative world.

    After accompanying healing processes through mother Iboga in the Iboga Quest project for several years, the medicine facilitated my connection with my own root, confronted my soul, and compelled me to align with my authentic will, manifesting the creative adjustments necessary to build a world in which I am truly inspired to live. Currently, I offer private psychotherapy sessions, facilitate psychedelic-assisted therapy processes, provide guidance and coaching with psilocybin and iboga microdosing, and fulfill the role of a head-heart mother within my family.

  • Psychedelic Microdosing Coach

    Erez Bartal

    Clinical Psychologist, Transpersonal Therapist

    I am a devoted servant to Spirit and have dedicated my life to helping others. The forms that it takes shape is through the sharing of medicines, the sacred sacraments of various kinds, and medicines and health practices that come from the fields of anti-aging and longevity. Through a variety of pathways to health and wellness one feels the benefits of holistic care for mind, body, and Spirit. Sound and music is another powerful and important aspect of my being and work, and it is infused to enhance the individual and collective process.

    Another aspect that is informing my work is my past in academia and work as a Doctor of Clinical Psychology. I worked with many populations and age groups, and focused on deep trauma, depression, anxiety, and death and dying, which is partially what has brought me to work deeply with the sacred medicines.

    I am aligned with those that are ready to say yes to a deep level of health and heart awareness, fallible, and in service of others so that we can walk alongside to a reality and a world that is Spirit and heart-centered.

  • Psychedelic Integration Coach

  • Iboga Provider

    Richie Ogulnick

    I have decades of experience with Iboga and Ibogaine and my mission now is to offer highly personalized sessions so that individuals can fully experience the insights and healing this plant can offer.

    The Healing Journey, by the Chilean therapist Claudio Naranjo, provided a first reference point for me to begin my work with Iboga over 30 years ago. Lower dose interactive and directive ibogaine sessions documented in this chapter enabled me to explore the utilization of ibogaine as a therapeutic and psychospiritual tool and an introduction to the essence energy of the plant.

    Over the course of fifteen and a half years, I conducted about 750 sessions. I spent the next several years referring close to 1,000 more people to other ibogaine providers. During that time, I also trained doctors and ex-addicts who opened ibogaine centers throughout the world.

    The work begins before we meet for the session. Your intentions are clarified during our conversation and we discuss life situations which reflect what you want to explore and work through.

    It is now, during this new phase of the iboga journey for me, that I see the usefulness in working with lower doses to explore specific intentions. It allows the person to identify with the witness of all that is being explored. And, as all the scriptures in the world allude to, the power to heal is in the impartiality of the witness within.

    ​As I move into a new phase in my life, I feel a pull to focus again on the more therapeutic and psycho-spiritual treatments where I’m able to offer my expertise in ibogaine treatment along with my knowledge of reintegration with individuals who are looking to deepen and enrich their life experience.
