Iria

In my teenage years I faced many challenges. I often felt depressed because of events from the past and was desperately searching for a way to feel better. My life felt like a black-and-white film without sound: empty, flat, and without joy.
During my first ayahuasca ceremony I relived an old trauma. But this time I could look at it with different eyes—with gentleness, understanding, and empathy. That moment changed everything. It gave me the opportunity to heal that painful part and give it a place. Suddenly my life switched from black and white to a colorful film with sound. I began to feel and see beauty again—a smile, nature, small moments of pure happiness.

I have always been a sensitive person, but in the past that sensitivity was often weighed down by negative experiences. By clearing these heavy layers, I have come closer to my true self. My intuition has grown stronger, and I now sense people deeply.

That’s why, during ceremonies, I can feel exactly what someone needs and guide them with love and softness. Because I know what it’s like to bloom again after darkness, I wish everyone that same transformation: from surviving to truly living.
