In her first apprenticeship year she did a one year of learning diet, as it is traditionally done in the Amazon. She was given a Western plant, which allowed her to reconnect with the medicinal plants of Europe and thus create a bridge between Amazonian medicine and the lost knowledge of our grandmothers of Europe.She learned from Mesta Niwe Western man, Panshin Beka, and Justina “Muraya” women, a title given to the most advanced level of Shipibo medicine, with whom she performed several diets and long stays in the Amazon rainforest. Through the diet, these women have passed on their knowledge of how to enter into a direct energetic relationship with plants and treat patients by singing sacred songs which work directly on energy. She spent several months with various traditional Filipino healers who passed on her the oldest practice of healing, the “Hilot”, therapeutic massage.
She also learned from the Queeros, the last Peruvian Andes descend from the Incas. She lived among the Tao’s Batu (people of the rock) in the Philippines, one of the few tribes isolated from the rest of the country, where her integration was possible because they recognized her as a healer.
