Some things only go
this deep.

Plant diets — sanango, Capirona, Bobinsana, the palos — are the core of this work. They are not psychoactive. They are protocols: a strict combination of plant preparation, isolation, dietary restriction, and behavioral discipline that the Amazonian tradition has refined over centuries.

Each plant works differently. Sanango roots out what is lodged at the cellular level — memory, pattern, chronic tension. Bobinsana opens what has been closed, particularly around the heart and the capacity to receive. The palos, the tree barks, work slowly and structurally — they are Don Alberto's specific lineage as a Palero, a master of tree medicines. What they have in common is that they are not an experience you have and return from. They build something in you that wasn't there before.

The deeper traditional work, if a client is called to it, comes afterward — as a conclusion to a process already well underway, and entirely in the family’s hands. Some are. Some aren’t. The Diets carry the work either way.

The people who come to this work are not broken. They are self-aware, capable, and have already done more inner work than most people ever will. What they are looking for is not repair. It is access to a layer of themselves that thinking alone cannot reach.

The Diets, when approached properly, do not give you answers. They give you direct access to questions you didn’t know you were carrying. The patterns running your relationships, your decisions, your sense of what is possible — they become visible in a way they simply aren’t in ordinary life.

What you do with that visibility is the work — and it doesn’t happen in the Amazon. It happens when you get home, to the same environment, the same peers, the same defaults, with a new reality in your hands and no one around who understands it. That is the moment almost everyone fails. They feel the pull of the old life, the fear of the new one, and they quietly slide back — then book the next thing to feel it again.

That moment is a choice: default back to the life you already know, or actually live the healthier one you just glimpsed. You don’t make that choice once — you make it every week for a year. That is exactly where I stay with you, and where the community stays with you. It is the thing the journey, on its own, can never give you. For the people who do this seriously, it shifts something they had stopped believing could move: what they tolerate, how they decide, what they finally give themselves permission to do.

I have been doing this work with the same indigenous family in the Peruvian Amazon since 2018 — not as a tourist, not as an observer, but as someone who has done the Diets, sat alone in the jungle, and returned to do it again. I know what this work demands and I know what it gives. What I say to you about it, I say from the inside.

I go with you. From the first planning call through the journey and back home. You are never navigating this alone. The Diets and any deeper traditional work are held by the indigenous family — that is their tradition, their knowledge, their authority, and their fee. My role is the guidance around it: making sure you arrive prepared, stay grounded throughout, and come home with clarity rather than confusion.

The integration we do together over the following year is the part most people skip and most need. It is where the real change either lands or evaporates. That is the work I am actually here for. (For the record: I also spent two decades in business and technology — I started at fifteen — so if your life and work are tangled up in this, I can follow that thread too. But it is not the lead. The deeper work is.)
