Rebecca Nunta Ruiz

Rebecca was born in the community of Nuevo Jerusalem de Shesheya and has 4 children and 3 grandchildren. 2 of her children are currently working with dieta and learning the art of healing with ayahuasca.

She comes from a medicine family, her grandmother being a great healer. When she was 8 years old, a lot of ill people came to visit her grandmother, and she watched how her grandmother healed them all, from curing snake bites with the resin of trees to healing different kinds of cancers, liver problems, and many more ailments.

She would accompany her grandmother and help her gather the plants needed for the different treatments that her grandmother was administering. It was during these years that she learnt an enormous amount about the pharmacy of the forest, with her grandmother always encouraging her to remember what she was being shown, so that one day when she died, Rebecca could carry the wisdom of the plants for the future generations.

Her grandmother died when Rebecca was 18. She continued to practice what she had learned, using her knowledge to support the health of her children and the family members. Many people came to her seeking her for help for their issues, ranging from mild to severe health problems to relationship problems.

She loves working with the plants to support people, and has an extensive knowledge of how to use the incredible pharmacy of the forest.
