What To Expect
TRANSFORMATION
Expect your healing journey to start at sign-up. We have included 3+ months of Nutritional Therapy & Plant Medicine Guidance in the retreat package. You will be preparing & integrating immediately, so that when it's time to go to Peru you will be focused & ready to heal your deepest roots.
GROWTH
There will be a lot of guided work & changes to your mind, body, + spirit before the retreat even begins. You will not be the same person when you return home. Guaranteed. We can’t promise a miraculous healing (but we have seen it happen.)
Be prepared for a total rebirth & to return with a completely different mindset + new lifelong friendships.
Our Sacred Retreat location is on 25 acres of organic land nestled in the Yanesha Biosphere Reserve near Oxapampa. This area is a protected part of the high Amazon Rainforest & the low Andes Mountains, creating a special blend of feminine/masculine energy in the land.
Our luxury cabins are surrounded by a cloud forest climate where natural ecosystems flourish. The property has many features that contribute to your overall well-being & the land itself with help you destress, align, + balance naturally.
You will have access to a private river with a beach, hiking trails with viewpoints, medicinal plants, & beautiful wildlife to support you during the stay. Along with 24-hour female staff.
Many of us go to Peru to commune with the wisdom of powerful natural medicine & Master Plants. Learning how to work with ancient Indigenous healing tools can be a life changer if you’ve hit a plateau or have a blockage stopping you from moving forward.
By reconnecting with our roots, we can unlock & amplify healing when the physical symptoms are from underlying issues in the emotional + spiritual field. When addressing these traumas many will overcome their physical pain plus find the mental balance + peace that they've been searching for.
Each client will have a full Plant Medicine Evaluation so that we can assess needs & co-create a unique plan for you to start building a relationship with the plants. When our Facilitators have finished the evaluation you will be given personalized medicine recommendations, instructions + guidance.
This is an offering to start working with the medicine in microdoses so that you can begin your journey ASAP. Allowing you to reconnect with yourself & something beyond you, gain new understandings, bring clarity into your life, + release stuck energy.
These sacred practices help us into the spaces that are normally difficult to access, all while being supported with so much love before, during, & after your ceremony.
Breathwork +sound
Somatic release is one of the best ways we can instantly let go of trauma stored in the tissues + regulate the nervous system. This is an incredibly powerful technique that allows you to create deep inner healing & connect to your inner wisdom through the power of breath.
Every day we will be practicing different forms of music, dance, breathwork, yoga, + trauma release exercises at the retreat.
frequency healing
Without the correct frequencies, our cells cannot power or produce properly.
At the retreat, we will perform multiple bioenergetic scans on your Electric Magnetic Field to investigate which body systems & chakras need extra support.
Then we can supply the energy your body is asking for through earth medicine stones & Microcurrent Frequency Therapy. Every day you will be rewiring & reenergizing your body into balance.
hypnotherapy
As an additional therapy, our Hypnotherapist will offer her expertise to life map and find out more about your soul’s purpose + lessons. Through multiple hypnosis sessions, we can start to unravel your unconscious, the past, & make clear intentions for the future retreat.
Hypnotherapy is a powerful, relaxing, & completely natural trance-like state created to allow new positive suggestions to be taken + accepted into the deepest levels of your subconscious. This space allows rewiring & reprogramming of the patterns or beliefs that no longer serve you. We will be working on letting go of whatever feelings, negative habits, fears, and/or behaviors you wish to transcend.
tours
Outside integration days are a large portion of the retreat. We have arranged the itinerary to have beautiful+ healing experiences so you can explore the sacred sites of the Amazon Rainforest & Andes Mountains.
Each day tour will take you through a different new adventure in the Yanesha Biosphere Reserve guided by our Native Sisters.
Learning how to eat what our ancestors ate + how they healed is our guide to optimal health. Along with decreasing our life's toxic load & eating foods that heal rather than hurt is just the beginning. We believe that Food Is Medicine & the most influential for our long-term health.
Included in the retreat price is a full Nutritional Therapy Package offered by our Functional Nutritionist. In preparation for the retreat, each client will begin the process & continue working to balance nutritional deficiencies + rebuild their body's foundations with food, herbs, & supplements.
You will receive what you need to go all-in on a healing journey, step by step. This is a great opportunity for someone who has been healing for a long time or someone who just started making changes. You’ll learn everything you need to make a big impact on your life.
Included is 20+ hours of both Nutritional Therapy & Ancestral Medicine Integration:

My name is Cathi (Cat) & I’m here to show you my raw + real healing journey.
My childhood was full of dis-ease including autoimmunity, ADHD, OCD, ODD, PTSD, then pregnancy/postpartum issues to my most recent diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
I am here walking the wounded warrior path with you. Through many life experiences and circumstances, it is clear that I am here to heal myself + help others on the same path.
I became a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) after witnessing the power that food has on our health. My daughter had healed completely from Celiac Disease + anaphylactic allergies after 2 years of Nutritional Therapy! And while she was healing – I was (unknowingly) healing from undiagnosed Autism. This was just the beginning of our new crunchy life with natural medicine!
Now, we are living off the grid in the high jungle in Peru, conquering all fears + pushing through challenges so we can live a slow & soft life. It’s been a dream come true (literally).
I am forever grateful to have found plant medicines like Huachuma, Ayahuasca, Psilocybin, Rape/hape, & the great frog medicine, Kambo. With the Indigenous professionals who hold their secrets, I have healed more than I ever could in the United States. I'm sure that is why God gave me a calling to Peru.
Since starting this International journey I realized how many women want to travel to have the same experiences but are scared to do it alone. (and many women are getting hurt in this process of seeking out ancestral medicine) Because I’m neurodivergent, I had a much harder time going through the retreat process than others did. I never felt truly understood as someone on the spectrum or that my “special needs” were accepted.
That’s why we decided it was time to create a retreat focused on safety for women – so women don’t have to feel scared & alone like I did going through my own unguided experiences in Peru. Your sensitivities are seen & supported here with Medicine Women Peru.

Hello, I am Andrea West, a Yanesha descendant, and inhabitant of the native community of Tsachopen.
My grandmother, a wise Yanesha woman, transmitted to me the essence of healing with plants and hands. Inspired by her legacy, I immersed myself in sacred ceremonies, flower baths, payments to the land, palo santo ceremony, and other methods of cleansing the mind , body, + spirit; I understood that this is not learned, but rather inherited through generations.
A few years ago, I returned to Oxapampa and started performing these ceremonies for women. I invite you to visit our country and community, where you can cleanse your energies, recharge with the essence of the earth, and heal the wounds of the soul. Because, as my mother says, 'WANTING IS POWER'.
Please, join this mystical experience and rediscover the connection with your inner being.

I started with not knowing much about the retreat but had an innate pull to go.
So I did and am so glad I did.
I’ve been sick with chronic autoimmune conditions that span 26 yrs without much help from conventional doctors and medicine. Tried alternative medicine also, helped some but very difficult to navigate due to the constant trial and error method which can take months to years and is extremely costly. I was on my wits end then this retreat popped up.
I had such an unexpected profound experience, now 3 months later, I am still feeling the effects and processing it, all in a good way.
I noticed pretty much immediately my anxiety had subsided and I no longer felt it lurking around in the background.
Even just based on that it was completely worth it, (those of you suffering from anxiety know exactly what I am talking about) but I got so much more than that.
I can feel my health slowly changing gears. I also noticed now when I meditate, I have this extreme calmness and peace that I struggled with before.
The retreat itself was a comforting balance of healing, fun, and rest. I really appreciated the 2 weeks of “ME” time in the Amazon jungles away from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. It was like I stepped back in time of stillness. The scenery was gorgeous and breathtaking and the accommodation was modern and convenient. Waking up to the chirping of birds and breathing in that life force air first thing in the morning is so grounding and feeds my spirit.
Not trying to sound dramatic or anything but really, those 2 weeks have helped change my life and my healing process.
Thank you Cathi from the deepest part of my being, if it weren’t for you and your retreat I wouldn’t be here on my journey of new beginnings and healing. Cathi, Know that you have helped this one life so much more than I can put into words.
Love you,
Ivy T, just another soul on life’s journey.

This Tribe of women that serve for Medicine Women Peru are unbelievably gifted!
It's an honor to heal alongside and work with this community. I can't find words to describe the feeling of being at the Rebirth Retreat and seeing all the miracles that happen in such a short time.
Truly, you are all my soul family!
With Love,
Cat
