was in a bad place after losing my wife and having a difficult time emotionally as a single parent with many responsibilities. Nico is an inspiring man and you would do well to listen to his teachings. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. He is an inspiration and a kind and natural spirit.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Nico at my first experience doing a San Pedro ceremony in Ayampe. The entire three days was perfectly organized and Nico was an amazing facilitator. His energy provided a very calm, safe environment. He is kind, gentle, warm and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him and his team in providing a truly life altering experience.

The process was intense, there was crying and hidden painful memories that came out to be healed. I could see the other side, was light, only light and security I found. Then my mouth loosened and I was able to thank life for this second chance to enjoy it. An incredible but real experience of full freedom, of true personal love, free from judgment and criticism. Infinite thanks

The trust, the attention to detail, and the extreme support throughout the whole process is outstanding. Knowledgeable in many different areas, Tai Chi, Breath-work, meditation, yoga and plant medicines. I felt so immersed that it easily marked a before and after. Those of you in the path searching truth, wellness and doing the inner work can rest assured that Nico has your back.
