Medical Supervision
Our doctor is
looking forward to meeting you.
Each participant receives a private medical evaluation before arriving at our land and drinking the sacred medicine.
As you begin the onboarding process, you will meet our beloved Dr. Mauricio. As a medical professional, he has been accompanying individuals working with Ayahuasca for over a decade, helping to ensure that each participant enters this experience with safety, care, and respect.
Dr. Mauricio
Responsible Doctor · Integrative Medicine
Over a decade accompanying individuals working with Ayahuasca, with private medical evaluation for each participant.
What exactly does he do?
Four Clear Responsibilities
Prior Medical Screening
Detailed clinical questionnaire and individual interview before accepting any place. We review cardiovascular, hepatic, neurological, and psychiatric history.
Medication Review
Analysis of interactions with MAOIs, SSRIs, lithium, antihypertensives, and other drugs. If something is not safe, we tell you clearly and wait.
Pre-retreat medical consultation
A private video call with the doctor before the retreat to review your health and answer any questions. The doctor is not present at the ceremonies: during the retreat, you are accompanied by experienced facilitators.
Emergency Protocols
Full first aid kit, oxygen, written referral plan, and a reference hospital less than 20 minutes from the retreat.
Honesty first
When we say
no.
We decline applications every month. If the clinical risk is high, a retreat is not possible now — and we will explain why, offering alternatives and, if appropriate, a referral.
- Uncontrolled heart disease or severe hypertension
- History of psychosis, schizophrenia, or bipolar I disorder
- Current treatment with MAOIs or certain antidepressants without a supervised withdrawal schedule
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Advanced liver or kidney disease
- Uncontrolled epilepsy
