THE DEEPER WORK
Where the medicine path and the inner map meet.
Ā
This page is for those who have laid the foundation, who have done the work of self-understanding and self-compassion through ERM, and who sense they are ready for something more. A deep immersion. A quantum leap.Ā
They understand that the roots run deeper than psychology alone can reach.
TWO COMPLETE PATHS
I walk in two realms, the Western and the Amazonian Indigenous.Ā
Both are needed for the journey.
What I offer is not a fusion of the two. It is the capacity to hold both, simultaneously and with integrity, in service of one person's healing.
THE RELATIONAL FRAMEWORK
1. Embodied Relational Mappingā¢
A trauma-informed relational framework grounded in somatic awareness, parts work, attachment theory, and the lived reality of the neurodivergent nervous system.
It is rigorous, precise, and deeply relational.

THE SPIRITUAL TECHNOLOGY
2. Shipibo Curanderismo
An Indigenous spiritual technology of healing from the Peruvian Amazon, carried through plant relationships, disciplined apprenticeship, ceremonial practice, and a multidimensional understanding of human suffering and transformation. It does not need translation into western psychology to be real or to be effective.
My path in this tradition spans nearly a decade of committed practice and apprenticeship, working directly with indigenous teachers in Peru, within the Shipibo lineages. I hold the status of maestra curandera. This is not a credential. It is a relationship with the plants, the lineage I carry, and the responsibility that comes with both.
MORE ABOUT VIVICATHEĀ SPIRITUAL LAYER
The Shipibo layer,
on its own terms.
Shipibo curanderismo is a sophisticated spiritual technology of healing, carried through disciplined apprenticeship, plant relationships, and ceremonial practice.Ā
Healing begins in the energetic field.
Within Shipibo curanderismo, what appears in the body, in the mind, in emotional life, in relationships, may have roots in subtler energetic layers that conventional approaches cannot reach.
Ceremony is not simply a container for an inner journey. It is a space of diagnosis, intervention, and healing.
Ā
The icaros at the center of the work.
The curandera works in real time, reading what is present in the person and in the field. She responds with an icaro, a direct transmission from the plants, as precise as a surgical instrument. Through vibrational frequencies she activates, connects, protects, clears, and reorganizes.
Healing is understood to move first through pure energetic vibrational layers, then ripple outward into the physical, emotional, mental, and relational.
Ā
The plants continue to work.
This process does not end when the ceremony ends. In the Shipibo tradition, the plants continue to integrate the energetic adjustments into our daily lives. What is opened in ceremony will keep unfolding through dreams, insights, energetic shifts, and an ongoing relationship with the plant intelligences themselves.
This is not metaphor. It is how the tradition understands the process.
The relational scaffolding
for the deeper work.
For a western nervous system encountering this tradition, the gap between what the medicine opens and what the person can metabolize is often enormous. ERM bridges that gap.
Preparation
Before ceremony, I use ERM to map the terrain of your inner world with precision, so that what happens in ceremony can land in a system that is as ready as it can be. We look at protective patterning, attachment dynamics, nervous system capacity, and the consent of parts, so nothing gets bypassed.
Ceremony Holding
I facilitate. I am present, tracking both the energetic and psychological dimensions of what is unfolding simultaneously, working with icaros and ceremonial tools while reading the relational and somatic field in real time.
Integration
After ceremony, ERM becomes the scaffold. We translate what was revealed into embodied understanding, relational repair, and lived change. This is where transformation either takes root or dissipates. The integration container is where I am most particular about pacing.
A NOTE ON THE WORK
Medicine work through this practice is not a standalone offering. It requires an established ERM relationship, a preparation period, and a genuine readiness assessment, for both of us.
If this layer is calling you, begin with a discovery call. We will find out together whether you are ready, and whether I am the right guide.

If this layer is calling you.
A discovery call is where we find out together whether you are ready for this work, and whether I am the right guide. There is no pressure in either direction.
Medicine work requires an established ERM relationship and a preparation period.
