In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast I interview Sena Maria. Sena supports women to embrace a nourished, resilient and radiantly healthy state.  She uses Mineral Nutritional Balancing to rebuild our mineral heritage and get to the root of our health issues. She believes that we are only as healthy as our cells and by supporting our bodies ability to create energy and eliminate toxins efficiently, we can return to the simple, natural joy of being alive. 

Sena’s degree in Psychology, career at Google and her subsequent studies of yoga, energy healing, shamanism, plant medicine, tools for building emotional capacity and integration, and Mineral Nutritional Balancing have led her to sit with many questions about what humanity may need at this time to heal from trauma + toxins, strengthen our families and create mineral-rich generations to come. She offers a woman-centric approach to healing with Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis utilizing it as a tool for deepening connection with one's self.

In our conversation together, we speak about replenishing mineral stores and the impact this simple act can have on our overall well-being. How our stress levels, our sleep, our organ health, our energy, and so much more can be a direct reflection of our body's mineral imbalances and how we can restore our systems by rebalancing. We touch on the impact of Plant Medicine work and how it can impact our hormones and mineral stores. We speak about the benefits of Mineral Balancing Nutrition in the pre-conception time and also in the postpartum time, and how vital it is. How entering pregnancy and parenthood mineral-y deficient can impact our longevity long term and how our babies pull from our mineral make up to ensure they receive what they need to grow and thrive, often leaving us deeply depleted if we are not in a vibrantly nourished place. Sena speaks to the power of her own findings in retracing through mineral balance, and her work with clients in Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA). Sena shares more of her personal journey with this work, and the chapter of life she is in now as a women in her mid 30’s.

In the beginning of this Episode I share more about my online program Fertile Souls *launching November 11th, 2024* this is a 9 month holistic container for folks in their Preconception window and Early Pregnancy.

So many gems in this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast! I interview a woman who has inspired me for many years with her online presence and who has become a dear friend of mine through our shared connection with the lands of Costa Rica. This woman is a powerhouse mama, the bread winner of her family, the matriarch, Katya Nova!

In our conversation (literally recorded earlier today) we dive into her journey of building the influential online platform Matriarch Collective which has transformed the lives of literally 10's of 1000's of women and families and we chat about her most recent launch which is, the Wealthy Woman Vault 2.0 (get a ticket while it's hot). We talk about Katya's journey of co-parenting and homesteading with her ex husband who is also her best friend, and raising their 4 beautiful little ones together. In this episode Katya shares some incredibly beautiful stories of her own birth experiences, the work that it takes as a woman to unlearn many of the things we were told and taught along the way, and what it takes to rise and reclaim our inherent birthright of Abundance & JOY!

Last year alone, her platform Matriarch Collective generated 2.5M+ dollars online, she was was able to give back 500K to the women in her community, in affiliate dollars and philanthropic projects for single mothers.
 
Katya believes that 'wealth' is measured in TIME, not DOLLARS. It’s not about how much money you make, it's about how much money you get to keep. And how that money is working for you. Wealth is the freedom to be generous. It’s about being at ease in your nervous system, and knowing that if something unexpected happens, you (and your family) will be ok.

I know you are going to love this episode and want more of what she's bringing to the table.

MAKE SURE you grab your ticket to the Wealthy Woman VAULT 2.0 before it closes for good!

In this Episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Lindsey Wise.
This may just be my favourite episode to date. One of the most moving conversations of my life and truly an answered prayer to share this type of soul medicine with those seeking it. Together Lindsey and I explore the sacredness of Birth, Death, Loss, Illness, Ecstatic Joy, and Sound Frequency. Each share along the way is golden heart nectar, through the beauty and pain, the synchro-mystic unravelling of the ceremony of life is so ever-present. I am so honoured to have received this woman and her family's life story.

Following the birth of Lindsey's first child, she had a Near-Death Experience, where she found herself surrounded by multitudes of light beings who initiated her into the world of subtle energies and healing vibrations. At that moment, she realized that all beings create their own unique vibration—their soul song. Each person’s soul song makes up the great Choir of Life. And that is where one of her heart offerings 'Soul Song Revival' was born. Her work is to awaken humanity to the healing power of their unique sound. She's traveled the world and the astral realms, cultivating healing techniques to help people awaken to the power of their own voice and to the healer within. She blend ritual, breathwork, guided journeys, sound healing, yoga and community song  and she call this Ceremonial Energy Medicine.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Stéphanie Liévana, a mama of one, living in a small off grid ‘town’ in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Stéphanie is a dear sister and inspiration in my life, walking the path of a medicine woman. In our time together Stéphanie shares some of her life’s journey. She was born in Brazil and grew up in Mexico, in her twenties she found herself in Baja. Along the way she fell in love with her beloved partner and ultimately got pregnant, after being diagnosed with hypothyroidism as a child and being told by several doctors, she would never be able to conceive and have a child naturally. She credits this experience to her own healing journey, coming off of medication, finding plant medicines and devoting to a new way of being. She has always been deeply connected with children, and over the past several years found deeper connection with the spirits of Ayahuasca, Peyote, Tobacco & Santa Maria. Ceremony has become an important part of her life, as well as community, El Santuario is a beautiful land that she stewards with our dear sister Ayara Sollua and family, a beautiful Red Tent and Temezcal resides on this sacred land. Stéphanie’s heart is so beautiful and there is so much wisdom here that she shares with us along with the story of her magical birth experience. Her son Lazuli is her greatest teacher and inspiration. 

*In moments the audio is a little broken up as  Stéphanie's Internet was not the strongest* Grateful she could tune in as most of her time is spent offline

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Bri Aberdeen. Bri started her journey of learning about her life giving body at the age of 22 and soon after became a practicing birth and postpartum doula. She’s been serving in this capacity ever since and in her 30 years on earth she’s always been inspired by mamas, who make this world go round. Bri has definitely found throughout her walk on this path that she’s needed to balance out birth work with life, and other pursuits, sometimes needing to take a pause to integrate all that her doula practice reveals. This is something we dive into conversation together about, amongst an array of topics. How to integrate birth experiences as a professional in this field, how the Doula can Doula herself, the importance of the self care & nervous system regulation for the birth worker to show up fully in someone’s birth space. Through her journey of study in birth and her own body, when her own time came she was able to birth without fear, totally in her power. She feels passionately about sex education and birth education and that everyone deserves access to understanding birth and how to support the process beyond birth into postpartum. Doula training is life training. We will all certainly be close to at least one person in our lives who brings life into the world! Relational care is revolutionary my friends. Throughout our conversation we talk in depthly on the path of doula hood, becoming doulas before having children of our own, body literacy and taking charge of our own education, along with Bri’s personal journey, the trip in which she conceived her daughter, her relationship with psilocybin, and surprise free birthing her baby at home on her own!

*Wrapping up a Hiatus after one of the most full on months of my life on the Birth path. Emerging out of a Cocoon. So much depth there. So many learnings. Happy to be back.*

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Sami Love. Sami has been working in the field of Psychotherapy for over 7 years, and started her coaching business rooted in Mental Alchemy over 3 years ago; a space where she has found the freedom to weave her western education with her spiritual journey and knowledge. She has been gifted with many life changing teachings through her 5 years of walking with Sacred Plant Medicines in Peru and other countries around the world. She has now been living in Peru for over 2 years working intimately with plant teachers such as Ayahuasca, Huachuma, Bobinsana, and Tobacco. After a profound 6 months spent in the Amazon Jungle working with plants medicines she moved to the Sacred Valley, where she met her life partner and started working helping him in running their retreat centre, Anahata Ayahuasca. Together, they now work side by side in ceremony with their Indigenous Shipibo Maestro; a healer who has been walking  with Ayahuasca for over 40 years. Witnessing and supporting the healing of others is her soul mission in this life time. She is especially passionate about supporting and standing by women and they rise into their fullest expressions. Two of her projects she holds near and dear to her heart are: REWILD for women, and Sisters of the Moon.

In September of 2022, after giving birth to her daughter, life took yet another beautiful shift. Sam and her partner chose to bring their daughter into the world in a more alternative way, rooted in community, ceremony, and trusting/following the guidance of her intuition. It has been an initiation that has transformed her from the inside out. Motherhood is now the most important roll in her life, and she feels so honoured and blessed to be learning and growing through this new chapter in life.

I feel Sami’s passion for autonomous family led birth, in my bones, and am grateful to have received her reflections around the current birthing paradigms that exist both in and outside of the medical system. Sam tells us about meeting the spirits of her children before they came in through psychedelic visions, she shares her conception stories, bridging the worlds of psychology and spirit, experiencing miscarriages, and the beautiful sovereign pregnancy she experienced carrying her daughter that led to her surprise breech birth at home in Peru. We talk about societal fears of birth, filtering out what is true and what is not, when being bombarded with opinions as a pregnant women, and staying connected to intuition and truth within.

 In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast we dive into Adelina’s own journey of coming to a plant medicine path, leaving medical school and finding the healing arts. We explore deeply what multi generational healing looks like, tending to the traumas of the family bloodline, nervous system regulation & ceremony integration. Adelina shares her journey of stepping into motherhood and all that that entailed for her, how ayahuasca can give us avenues to walk down on our healing journey but will not “fix” or “save” us. She shares on her devotional path of study and exploration with the Shipibo lineage in Peru, and what exactly a master plant dieta is. She shares on her pregnancy, her own womb healing, especially post abdominal surgery as a child, and her beautiful birth experience. I love the way Adelina expresses her wisdom.

Adelina is a mentor and spiritual practitioner that is deeply dedicated to the feminine healing arts and the wisdom spirits of the sacred master plant teachers. She has held several long standing apprenticeships with deeply immersed elders, shamanic teachers, and Curanderos/as. She specializes in modalities such as Trauma Bodywork, Somatic Experiencing, Ayahuasca Integration, Mind-Body Therapy, Sound Healing, Breathwork, and Dance Movement Therapy.

 Adelina walks a life of service as a medicine woman and a mother in the shamanic path of the beauty way. Her devotion is rooted in supporting women to clear and heal the traumas that are alive in their bodies-unraveling the stories of the bloodline and awakening to true liberation of creativity, voice, expression, and emotion. She believes in the medicine of embodiment, the wisdom of the feminine temple body, and the power of integration. She focuses on teaching a new language in regulating the nervous system in healthy and supportive ways so that life can be experienced in a path of love.  Forever a student, she bows in deep gratitude for life and all that is here to teach her.

 In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I talk with Jamie Satori, together we dive deep into the realms of Quantum Birth keeping, birth being the blueprint of all things, and birth as transformation. Jamie came to Doula work after her own traumatic birth 13 years ago, which later led to 3 redemptive empowered births, the 4th being a self directed birth here in Costa Rica. Her first birth ushered her onto this path of midwifery and mama hood. Moving to Costa Rica supported her in healing from the rat race of the West and her own history of addiction and substance reliance. We together share how we first connected and our early journey of working alongside each other. We touch on how the brainwaves of a birthing being move through them, oxytocin and ecstasy, and the altered state that is birth and death (death being the cervix to the next universe.) We also explore how birth is inherently a spiritual act of essence coming into physicality and Jamie’s own childhood connection to the sacred and how children are highly tapped into the intuitive realms and magic. We talk about supporting the rite of passage for the non-birthing parent and how important their role is on the journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum of a new life, and how as birth workers we can support sovereign family led birth and follow the family's lead and to trust their inner knowing. 
 
 Jamie is a mama to four and community midwife serving in Costa Rica's southern zone. Borderless Birth is her beloved brain baby and the container that holds her soul work. She is in her eighth year serving at the gateways of birth and death, and passions include the movement towards re-humanization and reclamation of being born, birthing and dying. Following the Quantum Midwifery way (as taught by Whapio of the Matrona), Jamie believes and teaches peak human experiences as altered states of consciousness deserving of ceremony and respect.

In this Episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Juliana of Entheomama. Juliana is a mother, a Certified Somatic Sex Educator, Sexological Bodyworker, Doula, Trauma Informed Plant Medicine Integration Coach and Pleasure Activist. She is passionate about supporting people to connect more deeply with themselves and each other through integrating the teachings of somatic sexuality, trauma resolution and sacred plant medicines into their intimate lives so that their relationships can be a source of nourishment and healing for themselves and for the world. She is the creator of Boldly Embodied which is the current home of her work where she supports individuals and couples to boldly embody their love, their pleasure and their lives. Together we explore the intersection of sex & psychedelics, erotic trance and entheogenic communion. We talk pelvic health, internal & external body work for pre-conception & postpartum, how that can support the birthing process, and pleasure practice. We talk about attuning to more than the human world, how we are cosmic beings having a human experience, how being born into this world is our first taste of psychedelia, and so much more. I love hearing about Juliana's personal experiences in this line of work, and the birth story of her first, born in Peru when she was 20 years old. So much wisdom to be received in this chat.

This episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast is with Chloe Skerlak, a Justisse Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner and Certified Full Spectrum Fertility Awareness Educator. This episode goes beyond personal story telling, and is deeply educational for menstruating folks and those who wish to better under our cyclical nature and the power that it holds.

 Infused with joy, laughter, and play, Chloe teaches fertility awareness education to women and people with cycles so they may regain their sexual and reproductive sovereignty, become advocates for their own health, and live vibrant, healthy lives. She is also the founder of the Cervix Portrait Party (yes - taking photos of your cervix is a thing!) and is passionate about teaching body literacy to pre-teens and teens. Chloe also loves salsa dancing, full moon bathing, and playing the ukulele. 

Together we dive in to all the juicy details of the cycle. Fertility Awareness for hormonal free contraception, body literacy, as well as how it can be used for intentionally conceiving. We touch on menarche to menopause, how fertility tracking is taking your sexual health and "birth control" into your own hands. We talk about the reality of abortion laws, and emergency contraception measures, as well as the inner seasons of the cycle, how to leverage your energy and awareness when you are most vital, and how connected we are to the rhythms of the moon. I love this episode and love what Chloe stands for. Check it out.
