Three nights. One powerful medicine. A lifetime of healing.

I walked into an Ayahuasca ceremony near St. Louis carrying more than just emotional baggage—I carried what felt like actual entities clinging to my body, feeding off my pain, my trauma, my doubts. Over the next three nights, I faced them head-on.

Night one? Gentle, almost deceptively so. A cosmic pat on the back reminding me of my strength. Night two? A full-on spiritual exorcism—purging, shaking, releasing what felt like demons lodged in my spine and soul. Night three? Peace. Clarity. A homecoming to myself, my feminine energy, and the kind of healing I didn’t know was possible.

Now, with lighter energy, less back pain, and a deeper connection to my son, I’m left with one question: What’s next? Spoiler alert—plant medicine is officially part of my journey. And maybe, just maybe, it should be part of yours too.
