Olá! My name is Mariana, and I’m happy to connect with you!

My journey with Ayahuasca began in 2006 during a Santo Daime ceremony in my native Northeast Brazil. This experience ignited a profound connection to the divine energy of these sacred plants, which I view as essential teachers guiding us back to Source and our authentic selves. It was a transformative moment, and even though I deep down knew that my life was one of service, this truth became very clear to me at that time.

By 2015, during a challenging period in my life, I felt the call of the Mother/Grandmother plant once more. Since then, she has offered me invaluable insights and lessons that have shaped my journey.

When Ronald and I became friends, we shared our stories related to plant medicine. In 2018, he invited me to join him as a guide and facilitator, an opportunity I embraced wholeheartedly. It’s truly an honor to support those who choose to embark on this healing journey.

In addition to my work at Sattvaya, I am a mother, a social worker, a dancer, and a healer (Reiki Master and Theta Healer). Currently, I’m also in training for female embodiment coaching, which is very exciting!

If you’re interested in discussing healing or simply want to connect, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would love to hear from you!

As Ram Dass beautifully said, “We are all just walking each other home.”

Bliss you! AHO
