Lisa Silva

Greetings, I am Lisa Silva, a Medicine Woman and Spiritual Healer dedicated to guiding individuals on their transformative journeys. My husband Miguel and I serve as retreat facilitators alongside a team of volunteers offering diverse healing modalities.

I am the creator of the Kambo Nadi treatment protocol that I now teach worldwide.

My path began in the heart of South Africa, where I immersed myself in the profound teachings of African Shamans, known as Sangomas. From a young age, I honed my skills as a spiritual healer under their guidance, gaining deep insights into their traditions, medicines, and ceremonies. My dear friend and mentor, Pinkie Adebisi, initiated me into the sacred realms of African traditions and the healing power of water.

I underwent a profound transformation following a personal healing journey with South American traditions. I embraced the use of Icaros, potent medicine songs from the Shipibo Kanibo tribe, which now infuse my ceremonies with their mystical energy. This fusion of African and Peruvian shamanism empowers individuals to embark on their healing journeys.

As a Master Kambo practitioner, I have assisted hundreds of individuals in overcoming physical, emotional, and spiritual blockages, drawing from a wealth of experience in many modalities. My academic journey includes a Doctorate in Homeopathy, and I am registered with the Complementary Medical Association (CMA).

My exploration of holistic therapies and plant medicines worldwide and my qualifications in various healing arts have shaped my unique healing approach. Ayahuasca journeys reinforced my commitment to working with plant and frog medicines, further enhancing my ability to effect profound shifts in people’s lives fostering balance across the emotional, physical, and spiritual realms.

In my practice, I embrace the belief that it’s not about teaching or preaching to someone but about reaching them on their inner journey towards healing and self-discovery. Together, we create the space for transformation, allowing individuals to find harmony in their Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual Lives.

“It’s not about teaching someone nor preaching to someone; it’s about reaching someone.”
