Personal explorations with the support of master plants, ancestral medicines and practices, and other psychedelics are supporting me in a better (and ongoing) understanding of myself but more difficult to summarize in a short text.
I am Venezuelan, with a family history of people on the move. I’m currently based in Barcelona, Spain, whilst my personal ties are still in various parts of the world.
As a figure of support, I am a medical doctor, specialised in adult and young people’s psychiatry and psychotherapy, with a practice that has in the course of the years focused progressively more on the support of people with histories of migration and those who’ve survived violence and/or traumatic events or personal histories, which I’ve had the privilege of doing so in various countries and cultural contexts, from Latin America, to Europe, and the Middle-East.
In recent years, I’ve started a path of learning to include the support of expanded states of consciousness in my therapeutic practice, as well as supporting and accompanying others in their preparation, through the experience, and in integrating their consciousness explorations. This I’ve sought through personal exploration, learning, and training, and formalised through training in Augmented Psychotherapy (APT) through the MIND Foundation in Berlin, the integration training held by the International Center for Ethnobotanical Education, Research and Service (ICEERS), as well as through the therapy models of ongoing clinical trials.
My current practice is with migrated people in public services in Barcelona, in clinical research with psychedelic compounds, facilitating in retreat spaces as well as harm reduction spaces, and in my private practice providing general psychiatric and psychotherapeutic mental health support as well as psychedelic-based therapies.
