There are many different kinds of medicine women depending on their specialty of focus- they all have their own different kinds of tools, techniques and ways of healing. Naysha heals through medicinal plants, ceremonies, music and traditions, and being adept in the shamanic world, Her connection with plant medicine started before she was born. Her mother could not have children so she, like many Peruvians, went to the shamans to find healing after the medical system had failed her. The shamanic treatment was successful and Naysha was conceived. Naysha, later, worked as a lawyer for the Peruvian government. This was when she realized that in order to change society- the individual must first change from the inside. She felt a calling and, thus, quit her job to go to the Amazonian jungle. There, she remained for several years, learning different healing techniques from the plants and studying with the shamans on how to work with the plants Life then brought her from the jungle to the very north pole of Sweden. For two years, she lived together with the Sami people- an indigenous community of shamans where they shared to her their ways of living. From there, she went back to the Amazon once again to continue her Shamanic training. These last 3 years, she has been traveling around Europe, Asia, and South America, holding ceremonies and sharing the healing ways of her teachers from the Amazon through a franchise she started, named, Taita Inti. Today she is embarking on creating a global community that involves women — bringing women together in order to help themselves to reconnect, open, heal and transform their lives.
