ABOUT RAFA

SIGNATURE OFFERING

Rafa creates a safe and supportive space where all parts of you are gently welcomed into the light. Blending the wisdom of indigenous plant medicine traditions with grounded therapeutic practices, Rafa weaves a path of self-discovery through open curiosity and compassionate inquiry. This work invites your whole self into presence, integration, transformation, expansion.
Preparation sessions are designed to help you enter your ceremony with clarity, stability, and a sense of readiness in your mind, body, and emotions.
Together, we’ll explore:
- Mental Readiness: Understanding your intentions, identifying emotional patterns, and preparing for challenging experiences.
- Physical Preparation: Nutrition, movement, and lifestyle shifts to support a clear and receptive state.
- Emotional Grounding: Unearthing the root causes of your experiences, past wounds, and limiting beliefs that may surface.
- Practical Tools: Breathwork, journaling, and other techniques to help you navigate the experience with trust and resilience.
Ceremonies are rooted in the Peruvian Indigenous Shipibo tradition. These ceremonies are often described as profoundly surgical in nature—precise, intense, and deeply transformative. Guided by the intelligence of the medicine, the experience targets specific aspects of your psyche that were opened and explored during the preparatory process. These metaphorical “boxes” you bravely chose to open can now be illuminated from within, potentially revealing long-hidden layers of yourself with striking clarity.
This is not a journey of the mind alone. The ceremony moves you beyond intellectual insight into the realm of pure feeling and embodied knowing. Here, you engage in a living dialogue with the plant spirit—a co-creation where the medicine responds to your readiness, your questions, your vulnerability. It meets you exactly where you are, yet invites you far beyond what you thought was possible.
Expect to encounter frequencies that stretch the boundaries of ordinary consciousness. While this can feel disorienting, it is also profoundly liberating, offering a perspective rooted not in thought, but in soul.
This is not just a ceremony—it is a encounter with your deepest truth.
The integration process allows your transformation to take root and blossom in your life. Sessions are designed to support you to:
- Make sense of your experience and emotions
- Bridge the gap between ceremony and everyday reality
- Identify practical steps to apply your insights
- Process any challenges or unresolved feelings
- Create rituals and practices to sustain your healing
This work isn't a destination but the beginning of a relationship—with the medicine, with the deeper parts of yourself, and with a way of being that honors both your humanity and your nature. You'll carry forward not just insights, but a new capacity to feel, to choose vulnerability over protection, and to trust in your own innate wisdom.
The person who began this journey with questions and curiosity emerges with embodied knowing—still tender, still sensitive, but now equipped with tools to navigate the world from this more open, aware place. The medicine continues to work within you, a living relationship that deepens with time and conscious attention.

Why do I need Preparation Coaching?

Embarking on a plant medicine journey is a deeply personal experience—one that requires thoughtful preparation to get the most out of it.

Preparation sessions are designed to help you enter your ceremony with clarity, stability, and a sense of readiness in your mind, body, and emotions.

Together, we’ll explore:

Mental Readiness: Understanding your intentions, identifying emotional patterns, and preparing for challenging experiences.
Physical Preparation: Nutrition, movement, and lifestyle shifts to support a clear and receptive state.
Emotional Grounding: Unearthing the root causes of your experiences, past wounds, and limiting beliefs that may surface.
Practical Tools: Breathwork, journaling, and other techniques to help you navigate the experience with trust and resilience

Designed for you to reflect, release, and welcome all parts of you.

How will Integration Coaching support me?

The days, weeks, and months after a plant medicine ceremony can feel like walking between two worlds.

You may experience deep insights, emotional releases, or even a sense of disorientation as you return to “normal” life.

The challenge is that life hasn’t changed—but you have.

The integration process allows your transformation to take root and blossom in your life. Sessions are designed to support you to:

Make sense of your experience and emotions
Bridge the gap between ceremony and everyday reality
Identify practical steps to apply your insights
Process any challenges or unresolved feelings
Create rituals and practices to sustain your healing

Integration is essential. Without proper support, the wisdom received in ceremony can fade, leaving you feeling lost or unsure of how to apply your experience to daily life.

Preparation Coaching

Opening the Boxes Within: The journey begins, long before the first cup.

Beyond the popular dietary restrictions, the preparation phase is a therapeutic excavation where clients begin opening the "boxes" within themselves—examining anxiety, family patterns, old wounds. Through careful dialogue, they identify the highest leverage points, the core issue that, when addressed, allows other aspects of their lives to shift into alignment.

PHASE 1: LEARN MORE

Ceremony

Shining a Light in the Boxes Within: Ceremony moves you beyond intellectual insight into the realm of pure feeling and embodied knowing.

This is not a journey of the mind alone. The ceremony moves you beyond intellectual insight into the realm of pure feeling and embodied knowing. Often times, people encounter frequencies that stretch the boundaries of ordinary consciousness.

PHASE 2: LEARN MORE

Integration Coaching

Living with the Boxes Open: The ceremony may be over, but your journey is still unfolding.

Perhaps the most critical phase, integration guides participants back from the expanded consciousness of ceremony to functional baseline reality. This isn't about returning to where they started, but finding a new equilibrium—slightly elevated from their original state, yet grounded enough to navigate daily life with the wisdom gained.

PHASE 3: LEARN MORE

Psychedelic-assisted experiences can create new neural pathways, leading to deep emotional healing and transformation. But the true key to lasting change is support and integration—taking what you receive in ceremony and making it real in your life.

Testimonials

“Working with Rafa is a gift. Truly a gift. The profound heart opening, the wellspring of self love that I experienced in just two days of working with the medicine under Rafa's care and guidance was truly miraculous. Life changing. I say this as someone who works in adjacent fields of spirituality and growth as a therapist and intuitive healer. Yes, the medicine is powerful. Obviously. But it is the entirety of the container that Rafa establishes around the medicine ceremonies that takes what is already powerful and makes it transcendent.
Rafa holds space with such grace, such love, such power and purpose that you feel safe. You feel safe to surrender to the power of the medicine. You feel safe to go deep within and explore those parts of yourself that you've wanted to ignore. To bring them to the light with love.
I'm grateful for who Rafa is. It is his lightness of being, it is his compassion for the work, for the plants, and for humanity, it is his curiosity, it is his eagerness to go deep and his willingness to get uncomfortable, it is his humility, it is his sincerity, it is his boundless capacity for love that makes him an amazing man and a gifted shamanic practitioner.”
-Ryan Migge
Working with Rafa after my Ayahuasca retreat was an incredibly grounding and transformative experience. Rafa held space for me with deep wisdom, compassion, and a rare intuitive understanding that allowed me to process complex emotions and integrate my profound spiritual insights.
During our integration sessions we unpacked themes that surfaced during my ceremonies—abandonment, anxious attachments, feminine power, and the role of my inner child. Rafa helped me untangle long-held fears and guided me to reframe my narrative from trauma to healing and from survival to empowerment. He also shared with me tools such as meditation, music, and present-moment awareness practices, which continue to support my daily integration.
I am so grateful for Rafa’s guidance during this tender and powerful time. These sessions were not just integration—they were healing in their own right.
-Aubrey Amatelli
My time with Rafa was nothing short of transformative. Over the course of two days, I stepped into a space where ancient wisdom met gentle, grounded presence—and in that space, I found answers to questions that had quietly haunted me for years.
Rafa holds ceremony with deep reverence and quiet strength. His presence is steady, intuitive, and profoundly attuned. I felt safe, seen, and held—not just physically, but energetically, emotionally, and spiritually. There is a sacred humility in the way he guides—never imposing, always inviting, allowing the medicine to work its intelligence while offering a container of genuine care.
What unfolded was beyond language: visions, release, and clarity that continue to ripple through my life in subtle, lasting ways. The experience felt less like discovery and more like remembering—like coming home to truths I had long forgotten.
This wasn’t just a retreat. It was a return to myself. And Rafa was the steady hand at the door.
-Justin Harris
