“I cannot say enough good things about the |Heal-Thy Heart| team. Jamie, Michael, and Andrea are incredibly compassionate and intuitive healers, and they brought so much passion and joy to the retreat experience. This was my first experience sitting with plant medicine so I was a little nervous going in, however, they made me feel so safe and supported before, during, and after the retreat.

I went into the retreat looking for a greater connection to my intuition. The medicine guided me in releasing energetic and emotional blocks that I was not even aware I was holding. Post-retreat, I am feeling greater clarity, intuition, and freedom in my day to day life.

I will definitely be returning for future retreats with the |Heal-Thy Heart| team.”

Melissa, USA – November 20, 2022

Ohhhh, let me just say, how I was called to attend the Las Vegas Retreat in November was a Divine Intervention in itself!

This was my first time attending a retreat directed towards healing. I went with zero expectations to allow myself to feel whatever I needed to feel. I was welcomed by strangers with the warmest hugs and smiles, and from the beginning I knew I was exactly where I was supposed to be in my healing journey.

I was in a place in my life where I felt very stuck and was yearning to be in the comfort of people that would allow me to speak and feel heard and validated so that I could process the pent up emotions that I had been carrying for years. I have never felt more supported and guided while (most importantly) I did the work for myself. The talks were deep and profound, and the group I was blessed to be with will be forever family moving forward .

Jamie and Michael, what an amazing duo they are. If only my siblings and I could relate as well, haha! I know generally speaking, Shamans are male, but having Andrea guide us through our ceremonies … the feminine touch was so nurturing and exactly what my soul needed and was searching for. And her voice… Ahhhh , so beautiful… I still hear all three of their voices singing to me when I need to feel their strength.

Thank you beyond words, |Heal-Thy-Heart| I will see you all soon.

Jeana, USA – March 1, 2022

I cannot say enough amazing things about this retreat and the facilitators behind it. They truly give their heart and soul to ensuring they put together a retreat unlike no other. Their sole purpose is to create an experience that will truly support you on your journey to heal. Every experience and element of the retreat is focused on doing deep work.

What I love about Heal-Thy Heart over other retreats is how they put together their program to have the right amount of activities to maximize your time with them. Activities that truly touched my heart and broke down my walls. Got me to get out of my shell and interact with a community of individuals who all came with such love and care.

I felt safe, I felt loved, I felt supported, and I felt the healing.

I can’t thank Michael, Jamie, Dean, and the other members who joined in the retreat enough for making such a huge impact on my life and my journey. They are amazing individuals with a true passion to heal others.

Val, USA – March 1, 2022

Words can’t begin to describe the life changing magic and transformation that happened during my first Heal-Thy Heart retreat! Dean, Michael, and Jamie supported me through every step of my journey and these beautiful beings truly pour their whole heart and soul into their retreats and into the service of others! The entire experience went above and beyond my expectations and everything that unfolded during this retreat truly changed the course of my life in such a profound way! I am beyond grateful for Heal-Thy Heart and highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!!!

Jacinda, Canada/Costa Rica – February 25, 2022

My experience doing plant medicine with Heal-Thy Heart was very much filled with a lot of love. Dean, Michael, and Jamie are lovely, compassionate humans and really made the space feel safe and welcoming. The unfolding of love and the messages I recieved during ceremony were very intense. I was very happy to have time space and people who could help me digest and understand it all. It was altogether truly magical to share this with the group of people I was blessed to be with in ceremony. I look forward to continuing on this spiritual path and will forever be grateful for the calling. Much love to you all.

Conner, Canada – March 1, 2022

I strongly believe that participating in a plant medicine ceremony is something everyone should try at least once in their lifetime.

This medicine they use is transformative to say the least. I have seen it change so many lives and minds. From anxiety, depression, ptsd, truamas, fears, lack of will, feeling lost or stuck in life this medicine wants to help you, you need only ask for it.

There are many retreats to choose from in central and south America but the one I’ve felt most protected, cared for and loved by was Heal-thy-heart. The Shaman Dean and his facilitators Micheal and Jaime were beyond patient and helpful with me on my journey. With over 15 years of experience in this magic they all really know how to help guide you on a path of healing.

But be warned that there are many uneducated people or who have negative intentions in this magic. Sadly that majority is growing due to high demanding. This is why I strongly suggest Heal-thy-heart, they not only care for your needs and make you feel like part of a tribe but also they check in on you afterwards during your integration process. I will definitely be back and I already miss all the people to whom I’ve bonded so well with. — thinking about the meaning of life.

Brandie, USA/Costa Rica – March 1, 2022

Y’all have made me feel incredibly safe and cared for, in a time that has not been easy for myself! I have learned so much from each of you. y’all have helped me to find my voice, find understanding for myself and others, build closer relationships, and to find the joy and gratitude in living even when iv been delt some pretty painful experience!

It’s my pleasure to recommend Heal thy heart ! To those looking for a safe caring, and dedicated team! There compassion for Healing oneself, is felt and realized in the space yall have provided. All the Best!

Kevin, USA – March 1, 2022

I have been a practitioner of sacred plant medicines for more than 15 years and have worked with many different groups on several continents during this time. One thing I can say for certain is that no two groups practice the same way, and some groups are qualitatively and quantitatively better than others. The primary |Heal-Thy Heart| team is the best group I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. Michael is passionate about helping others in all of the ways he can, and he will bend over backwards to ensure everyone has the best possible retreat experience. The maestro they work with has more than a decade of intense training and knows how to build and maintain a sacred container from start to finish. They include breathwork, plant baths, smoke baths, workshops, education, and support before/during/after the retreat as part of their offering, and each of these support the work in unique and important ways.

Prior to this retreat, I was in a transitional space trying to plan my next steps professionally. Now that the retreat has concluded, I have a much clearer vision of my future and the concrete actions I need to take to see those concepts come to life. The traditional ceremonies and newer therapeutic techniques were woven together throughout the retreat in beautiful ways that complemented one another so that each participant could get their best chance at receiving exactly what they needed to make progress towards their goals.

I’m already looking forward to the next time I’m able to be part of another retreat!

Jenny, USA – January 29, 2022

I participated in the retreat with Michael, Dean and Jamie in January 2022 and it truly was a life changing experience! Something that was a concern for me, before arriving, was whether I would feel comfortable gathering with all these people that I didn’t know. This very concern turned out to be one of the greatest gifts that came from going. From the moment I arrived I was met with warmth and genuine love- as if we were long time friends and they already knew me. There wasn’t anything forced or uncomfortable about it. This put me at ease so I could feel safe and be open to receive all that was ahead and I had no idea how much was ahead! There were so many amazing experiences throughout the retreat, but I would like to highlight one that stands out in my mind. During the first ceremony I went through some very difficult, long hours with the medicine. It was such an uncomfortable and scary experience for me. The most cherished memories I have though, are of Michael and Dean who took turns being by my side for the entire time. I know they had to have been exhausted themselves, but they stuck with me until they knew I was feeling better. They were there to speak calming and reassuring words when I was so lost inside. They were there supporting me and nurturing me, so much so that I feel permanently changed because of their unconditional love. And the things I learned from all of them, including Jamie who knew just what I needed without even asking, could make for an entire novel. I am so grateful to have had this experience with them and feel they will forever be part of my journey.

Liz, USA – January 29, 2022

There are no words to adequately describe the gratitude I have for Dean, Jamie and Michael. I attended their retreat in Costa Rica in February and it changed my life. I had just gotten out of a 30 year emotionally abusive marriage and was coming to the retreat open to change. Dean, Jamie and Michael are some of the most nurturing, caring and insightful people I have ever met. They fostered a loving, supportive environment that allowed me to feel safe, feel heard and feel cherished. They are the embodiment of love. Dean and Michael’s knowledge of plant medicine is incredible and they are so willing to share all that they know. Jamie’s yoga was therapeutic and she always made herself available for hugs, a smile and a listening ear. I left the retreat amazed at the power of plant medicine and feel the benefits of its power every day. It has given me healing and clarity beyond what I can even comprehend. It was transformative and one of the most incredible experiences of my life.

Sarah, USA – January 29, 2022

Receiving my Ayahuasca journey with the love and support from Dean, Michael, and Jamie was a tremendous blessing. The thought and care that was put into designing my experience was instrumental in my healing. I felt deeply connected to each of them throughout my time with them, and am humbled by how much they wanted to give of themselves out of pure love and desire for me to receive. I cannot imagine another plant medicine retreat without their expertise, passion, and devotion. Every intention that I brought to the medicine was fulfilled beyond expectation. I received lifetimes of wisdom and insight, as well as healing of old childhood trauma and fears–all valuable beyond measure. I am excited to go forward in my life free of what I released with their help.

With deep gratitude, I share my experience with you so that you might have the opportunity to know and receive a similar gift. I have no reservations giving them my highest recommendation. I now appreciate that this experience with Heal-Thy Heart was an extraordinary good fortune.

Daniel, Canada – June 30, 2021

I loved my retreat with |Heal-Thy Heart|. The curanderos of the retreat were amazing and of the upmost quality and caliber in their field. I went to the retreat looking to break out of the protective shell i had placed around myself. The retreat brought me so much and helped me become a more whole human being. It has been easier to function in both worlds since (the physical and spiritual) in what i feel is more and more balanced. I am truly grateful for the opportunity and experience.

Laurie, USA – June 30, 2021

I’m so amazed and humbled to have been so lucky to attend |Heal-Thy Heart| retreat. The beautiful Curanderos and the Founders are spiritual people you want to know-caring, loving, and kind. All I can think about is how I can get back to the retreat. It was peace beauty and understanding, my heart opened up to see more in the world. I was so impressed with how well we were educated, they explained everything so well. I’m ready to come back and appreciate more. This is my spiritual family, sisters and brothers.

Meagan, USA – June 30, 2021

“I attended a heal-thy-heart retreat in June 2021. I found the retreat to be the most authentic and helpful ceremony that I’ve attended thus far on my journey. The leaders were incredibly competent yet humble and kind which created a very safe space for self exploration and growth. I highly recommend attending one.”

Pierre, France – June 25, 2021

I’ve been watching documentaries about the indigenous plant spirits of South America for many years and when I met the founders of |Heal-Thy Heart| I felt it was the right time to try it. The retreat took place in a gorgeous accomodation in the middle of the jungle that facilitates introspection. Being in a small group also helped creating a safe atmosphere. The beautiful plant medicine in which we communed with in this retreat helped me in fixing some psychological blockages, discovering the hidden side of the world & improve my relationship with my girlfriend. It was without doubt one of the best experience in my life and I recommend everyone to try it.

Marishka, UK/Costa Rica – June 25, 2021

I had wanted to sit with the GrandMother Plant Spirit since I was 16 year’s old.
The container I was going to be held in needed to be authentic and the people of pure heart.
I most definitely found this with |Heal-Thy Heart| crew.
The journey I had was amazing, all my hopes and desires were met.
I feel more aware of my soul’s purpose and who I truly am in this life.
I have deeper cosmic perspective, it’s liberating.
I feel held and loved by a greater love source, that I connected to on my powerful awakening journey.
I have experienced a true self awakening and I now live in flow.
The help with the preparation from |Heal-Thy Heart| team was great.
Then during the three day retreat I felt so seen & heard.
For me one of the great aspects of |Heal-Thy Heart| is the after-care.
I feel like the integration is so incredibly important.
To have a space where you can share, learn and be held is of upmost importance.
With love & gratitude

Heather, USA – June 20, 2021

Honestly no matter how perfectly constructed, there are no words to fully describe the love, healing, beauty and gratitude felt at Heal Thy Heart Retreat. This was my second journey with this type of plant medicine and exponentially different from the two ceremonies of my first experience – in a wonderful way! I was first called to the medicine late last year whilst battling mild depression, anxiety, low self esteem/self worth, and lack of purpose or fulfillment. I was seeking deeper meaning, healing and self love. The work I’ve done in these areas through sacred plant medicines is immeasurable and priceless, deeper healing than years of talk therapy or any other method I’ve heard of.

Although there is still much work to be done (in all aspects) and these areas, my intentions for my ceremonies in Costa Rica at Heal-Thy Heart were different. While I did have a few specific intentions in mind, my main goal was just to further open my heart and consciousness and surrender to the medicine allowing it to guide me to the information and healing that I needed in that present moment. One of the most important things I learned from one of the retreat organizers/founders, was “the best expectations are NO Expectations!” One of the biggest mistakes I made on my first journey was over-researching and having too many expectations which created blockages from me receiving the medicine and it’s messages. I can honestly say I walked into this retreat with an open mind and open heart and it surpassed any expectations I could have ever imagined…

From start to finish I felt comfortable, informed, safe, and a strong sense of communication and innerstanding from the organizers of the retreat. That assured feeling is very important to me as a solo female traveler. I was highly impressed by the resources and detailed information included in the welcome e-mail as well as the time they took to answer and also ask questions that gave a true sense of caring and personalization to the experience. My gratitude and feelings of comfort where only further affirmed upon arrival to the retreat space and when meeting everyone. I instantly knew I had made the best decision in coming and that this was going to be one of the most profound experiences I’d ever had.

The property/resort we joined for this retreat is amazing, nestled right on a private beach full of seashells and the grounds are very well kept with bright purple and orange crabs scurrying about. The accommodations were spacious, clean, well decorated and very comfortable. The carefully planned vegan menu of local produce, freshly prepared by the on-site chef was delicious and nurturing! The space and entire retreat was meticulously curated and I loved the detailed itinerary that included breath-work, integration, plant baths, purgatives, yoga, development talks, sharing and plenty of free time for reflecting and swimming in the pool or sea. There is something very powerful about holding ceremony by the sea and not to mention the surrounding lush landscapes of Costa Rica. I recall the lead Curandero saying something really beautiful – that he could feel the energy of the land and plants and that they were happy and healthy there. The space was breathtaking for sure but the real magic was in the love and guidance of the medicine and the container created by the organizers and facilitators of this retreat.

The head Curandero and hit partner are true spiritual guides full of so much knowledge with huge humble hearts. The way that their energies combine and compliment one another when they lead ceremony and their sounds, vibrations, rhythm and spiritual strengths are astounding! During one ceremony I received their frequency and it sent an almost electrical current through my body that caused me to uncontrollably vibrate and hum to the rhythm of their sounds, it was truly an indescribable out of body experience. That same night after ceremony the head Curandero came to me privately and we shared, discussed, laughed and cried for two hours and in that time he asked me some of the most personally evolutionary questions that I didn’t even know I needed to answer. The individual attention and intuitive guidance that they displayed toward every member of our TRYBE in ceremony was incredibly special. Their care and support was also felt outside of ceremony, they truly went above and beyond to cleanse our souls and hold space for our healing. They hung out and participated in all of the retreat as both leaders and members, sharing their knowledge but also their personalities and becoming not just friends but spiritual family. In fact everyone in our retreat formed unique connections and I am so full of love and gratitude to be able to call them my all my TRYBE.

I cannot express enough my gratitude for the vulnerability and level of trust that was nurtured and built amongst this group. I feel so blessed to have learned so much from the plants, from the healers of this retreat, from the founders of |Heal-Thy Heart| and for all of the resources and tools they presented to me to use in ceremony and to integrate back into my life to not get lost “in the matrix”. Most importantly I learned that it all comes down to love and gratitude and the key to having it all – is knowing that you already do!!

Before plant medicine I had a very limited mindset, I believed that society’s expectations and the programming I’d received was just the way life was. Since my journey with this beautiful plant medicine and other sacred plants my soul and conscience has been awakened and continues to expand. My perceptions of self, others, society, and the world have drastically shifted. Also my gratitude for and connection to nature, plants, animals, the elements and the universe have deepened in a way I never thought possible.

Since returning from |Heal-Thy Heart| I have instilled some spiritual rituals and healthier habits into my life and have been trying to live more consciously. I admit I have struggled to stay focused and consistent and have let environmental factors and other tests discourage me at times. However I am definitely more calm and at peace with myself and my journey than ever before. I am learning to be more gentle, patient and kind to myself and to others. Reminding myself that while I am changing the whole world has not, so I must continue to do the work to heal and strive to be a vessel and a bridge of light and love to others. If you seek answers, need healing, have trauma, experience stress, anxiety, depression low self-esteem, suffer from addiction OR you just want to awaken your heart and soul to a deeper consciousness – I HIGHLY encourage you to meet this Grandmother Plant Spirit and there’s no place better to visit her than in the care and guidance of |Heal-Thy Heart| Wellness Retreats.

Much Love & Light
