Our Sacred Retreat location is on 70 acres of organic land nestled in the Yanesha Biosphere Reserve near Oxapampa. This area is a protected part of the high Amazon Rainforest & the low Andes Mountains, creating a special blend of feminine/masculine energy in the land.
Our luxury cabins are surrounded by a cloud forest climate where natural ecosystems flourish. The property has many features that contribute to your overall well-being & the land itself with help you destress, align, + balance naturally.
You will have access to a private river with a beach, hiking trails with viewpoints, medicinal plants, & beautiful wildlife to support you during the stay. Along with 24-hour female staff.
Many of us go to Peru to commune with the wisdom of powerful natural medicine & Master Plants. Learning how to work with ancient Indigenous healing tools can be a life changer if you’ve hit a plateau or have a blockage stopping you from moving forward.
By reconnecting with our roots, we can unlock & amplify healing when the physical symptoms are from underlying issues in the emotional + spiritual field. When addressing these traumas many will overcome their physical pain plus find the mental balance + peace that they've been searching for.
Each client will have a full Plant Medicine Evaluation so that we can assess needs & co-create a unique plan for you to start building a relationship with the plants. When our Facilitators have finished the evaluation you will be given personalized medicine recommendations, instructions + guidance.
This is an offering to start working with the medicine in microdoses so that you can begin your journey ASAP. Allowing you to reconnect with yourself & something beyond you, gain new understandings, bring clarity into your life, + release stuck energy.
These sacred practices help us into the spaces that are normally difficult to access, all while being supported with so much love before, during, & after your ceremony.
BREATHWORK + SOMATICS
Somatic release is one of the best ways we can instantly let go of trauma stored in the tissues + regulate the nervous system. This is an incredibly powerful technique that allows you to create deep inner healing & connect to your inner wisdom through the power of breath.
Every day we will be practicing different forms of sound bowls, music, dance, breathwork, yoga, + trauma release exercises at the retreat.
FREQUENCY HEALING + SOUND
Without the correct frequencies, our cells cannot power or produce properly.
At the retreat, we will perform multiple bioenergetic scans on your Electric Magnetic Field to investigate which body systems & chakras need extra support.
Then we can supply the energy your body is asking for through earth medicine stones & Microcurrent Frequency Therapy. Every day you will be rewiring & reenergizing your body into balance.
HYPNOTHERAPY
As an additional therapy, our Hypnotherapist will offer her expertise to life map and find out more about your soul’s purpose + lessons. Through multiple hypnosis sessions, we can start to unravel your unconscious, the past, & make clear intentions for the future retreat.
Hypnotherapy is a powerful, relaxing, & completely naturaltrance-like state created to allow new positive suggestions to be taken + accepted into the deepest levels of your subconscious. This space allows rewiring & reprogramming of the patterns or beliefs that no longer serve you. We will be working on letting go of whatever feelings, negative habits, fears, and/or behaviors you wish to transcend.
TOURS
Outside integration days are a large portion of the retreat. We have arranged the itinerary to have beautiful+ healing experiences so you can explore the sacred sites of the Amazon Rainforest & Andes Mountains.
Each day tour will take you through a different new adventure in the Yanesha Biosphere Reserve guided by our Native Sisters.
this Retreat wouldn't be possible without Indigenous People
From the beginning to the end of your trip, we want to share with you all we can about the Tribes in Peru, especially the local ones who help us heal & grow.
We are so thankful for the preservation of the Amazon Rainforest, the languages, traditions, plants, animals, medicines, wisdom & culture that is still living today. So we’ve planned multiple cultural immersions to teach you, bring awareness + give back.
Joining together with Yanesha, Ashaninka, Quechua, & Shipiba Medicine Women in healing, grieving, releasing & celebration is a regular part of the itinerary.
Learning how to eat what our ancestors ate + how they healed is our guide to optimal health. Along with decreasing our life's toxic load & eating foods that heal rather than hurt is just the beginning. We believe that Food Is Medicine & the most influential for our long-term health.
Included in the retreat price is a full Nutritional Therapy Package offered by our Functional Nutritionist. In preparation for the retreat, each client will begin the process & continue working to balance nutritional deficiencies + rebuild their body's foundations with food, herbs, & supplements.
You will receive what you need to go all-in on a healing journey, step by step. This is a great opportunity for someone who has been healing for a long time or someone who just started making changes. You’ll learn everything you need to make a big impact on your life.

Cathi is a Holistic Nutritionist, Teacher, & Spiritual Healer. Her childhood was full of dis-ease, including autoimmunity, ADHD, and PTSD. Then, as an adult, she suffered severe pregnancy/postpartum issues & was later diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in her 30s. She has been walking the wounded warrior path for decades. Through many life experiences & healing herself, it’s become clear that she is here to help others on the same path.
She became a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) after witnessing the power that food has on our health. Her daughter healed completely from Celiac Disease + anaphylactic allergies after 2 years of Nutritional Therapy, & Holistic treatments. Since then, Cathi has helped hundreds of people heal themselves.
Since starting this International journey, she realized how many women want to travel to have the same experiences but are scared to do it alone & many women are getting hurt in this process of seeking out healing. Due to being neurodivergent, she had a much more difficult time going through the retreat process than others did. She never felt truly understood as someone on the spectrum or that her “special needs” were accepted.
That’s why she decided it was time to co-create a retreat focused on safety for women – so women don’t have to feel scared & alone like she did going through unguided experiences in Peru.

I started with not knowing much about the retreat but had an innate pull to go.
So I did and am so glad I did.
I’ve been sick with chronic autoimmune conditions that span 26 yrs without much help from conventional doctors and medicine. Tried alternative medicine also, helped some but very difficult to navigate due to the constant trial and error method which can take months to years and is extremely costly. I was on my wits end then this retreat popped up.
I had such an unexpected profound experience, now 3 months later, I am still feeling the effects and processing it, all in a good way.
I noticed pretty much immediately my anxiety had subsided and I no longer felt it lurking around in the background.
Even just based on that it was completely worth it, (those of you suffering from anxiety know exactly what I am talking about) but I got so much more than that.
I can feel my health slowly changing gears. I also noticed now when I meditate, I have this extreme calmness and peace that I struggled with before.
The retreat itself was a comforting balance of healing, fun, and rest. I really appreciated the 2 weeks of “ME” time in the Amazon jungles away from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. It was like I stepped back in time of stillness. The scenery was gorgeous and breathtaking and the accommodation was modern and convenient. Waking up to the chirping of birds and breathing in that life force air first thing in the morning is so grounding and feeds my spirit.
Not trying to sound dramatic or anything but really, those 2 weeks have helped change my life and my healing process.
Thank you Cathi from the deepest part of my being, if it weren’t for you and your retreat I wouldn’t be here on my journey of new beginnings and healing. Cathi, Know that you have helped this one life so much more than I can put into words.
Love you,
Ivy T, just another soul on life’s journey.

I was homeless, sitting in my car crying, with nowhere to go. I remember this day like it was yesterday. I had depleted my savings account just to get by. Debt was accumulating. I was about to be behind on my car note and I was doing anything I could to make extra money. eating fast food because I had no stable place to prepare my meals.
I was homeless, sitting in my car crying, with nowhere to go. I remember this day like it was yesterday. I had depleted my savings account just to get by. Debt was accumulating. I was about to be behind on my car note and I was doing anything I could to make extra money. eating fast food because I had no stable place to prepare my meals. I was so broken. I was shuffled around 4 times within the first 4 months of the year and I was ready to give up!
God made a way for me to go to Peru for a healing retreat. We went into ceremony every other day. I hadn’t the slightest idea what to expect but I was starving for relief. To hear from God. I needed clarity. I needed guidance and I needed to experience a spiritual healing. I experienced what felt like instant healing from the plant medicines, energy work, meditation and other shamanic practices. Not only did I experience healing mind body and spirit, but I was born again 3 times. Felt like everyday I experienced a rebirth. I woke up happy everyday for the first time that year. All my troubles back home seemed to disappear.
I learned so much about my maternal bloodline and started doing the work to break generational curses and ways of existing that was not in alignment with my path.
I reconnected with Mother Nature, I was able to hear clearly. I experienced different plant medicines we don’t have access to in the US.
I am forever grateful to my sister Cathi for creating a space for me to heal. I got to explore Peru and experience healing on the most beautiful- breath taking 70 acre property in the Amazon for 14 days. I returned home… to myself. No matter where I go, and what I come up against, I always remember I AM HOME. Healing is possible. It was possible for me and It is possible for you. Please don’t give up.
Peace & Love,

I was hired as a sitter, translator, and support staff for Medicine Women Peru, and this retreat with Cathi exceeded all my expectations. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully designed to provide deep care, transformation, and connection.
The food was absolutely incredible, and Cathi generously extended many of the therapies offered to participants to her staff as well—something I’ve never experienced before. The medicine days were held with the utmost professionalism and safety, and the facilities, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Oxapampa, made the entire journey even more magical.
A true sense of sisterhood was created here. By the end of the retreat, we felt like family—held, nourished, and truly seen. I’ve never felt so well cared for at a retreat. This is the power of being supported by an all-female team—we were deeply pampered, and every need was met with care and attention. Cathi goes above and beyond to ensure that both staff and participants feel completely supported.
One of the things I love most about working with Cathi is her ability to see each person as an individual. She doesn’t just facilitate a retreat; she creates a safe space where every woman feels heard, valued, and empowered. Unlike many other retreats where Q&A is limited, here we gathered often, and everyone felt completely safe to ask questions. Whether it was your first time sitting with medicine or you were a seasoned participant, there was space for all levels of experience. No one was left feeling confused or uncertain—we were guided every step of the way.
And the transformations? Absolutely epic. Over the course of two weeks, I witnessed profound healing, rebirth, and breakthroughs that were nothing short of life-changing. The level of personal transformation that took place was exceptional to watch.
Another thing that sets Medicine Women Peru apart is the extensive integration support offered after the retreat. It’s such an important part of the medicine journey, and I love that it’s included as part of the experience. So often, people leave a retreat unsure of how to integrate their experience, but here, you’re held long after the retreat ends.
The excursions were another highlight—so much fun and such a beautiful way to truly experience Peru. Meeting the local Indigenous tribes was an experience I will never forget. Their warmth, wisdom, and traditions left me deeply moved and enriched.
Cathi also brings in some of the most skilled and trustworthy medicine shamans I’ve had the privilege of working with. Their integrity, expertise, and deep knowledge ensure that everyone receives pure medicine in a safe and sacred way.
If you’re considering a retreat, stop looking and book with Medicine Women Peru. Whether it’s your first time sitting with medicine or you’ve been on this path for years, this is a space where you will feel safe, supported, and deeply transformed. It was truly an unforgettable experience, and I cannot recommend it enough.
Love,

It's an honor to heal alongside and work with this community. I can't find words to describe the feeling of being at the Rebirth Retreat and seeing all the miracles that happen in such a short time.
Truly, you are all my soul family!
