Meet Mama Amelia
ELDER SHIPIBO MAESTRA, HERBAL STEAM CURANDERA, AND CARRIER OF GOOD SPIRITS
Mama Amelia is a revered elder and Shipibo Maestra Healer, born in the native community of Runuya, along the sacred Ucayali River — the lifeline of the Peruvian Amazon. Her path began in childhood, when she was initiated into the healing world of the Plant Mothers by her grandfather, Don Pasión, a highly respected healer known throughout the river for his spiritual mastery and deep relationship with the forest.
As a teenager, she was called into her second path of learning — this time under the guidance of her grandmother, Doña Andrea, a powerful elder who taught her the ancient art of Preparados y Vaporizations — plant-based healing rituals using cooked roots, leaves, fruits, and flowers. These preparations are both drunk and inhaled as steam, allowing the body to absorb their healing essence through breath and skin, while being supported by prayer and sacred song.
Mama Amelia became a guardian of Amazonian herbal medicine, learning to work with powerful Master Plants like Piñón Colorado, Ajo Sacha, Mocura, Ayaymama, Kion, Matico, and Toe, many of which are considered sacred allies in the Shipibo tradition. Her ceremonies are immersive and multisensory — rich with steam, aroma, prayer, and the kené — the ancient healing songs that call in the spirits of the plants and the ancestors.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mama Amelia played a central role in the “Comando Matico” (Matico Command) — a grassroots healing movement led by Shipibo medicine women. For two years, they treated hundreds of people across the Amazon with the medicinal plant Matico, offering traditional plant steam ceremonies and sacred songs to those in need, when medical care was often unavailable.
Today, Mama Amelia continues her healing work from her forest home, and in May 2025, she will travel outside the Amazon for the first time — to share the ancient wisdom of her lineage with women in Europe. She brings with her the energy of what she calls the Buenos Espíritus — the Good Spirits — and a deep joy to transmit the gifts of her people, her plants, and her prayerful songs to those ready to receive them.
Icaros
"The language of the plants, carried through sound and vibration — songs that heal, guide, and connect us to the spirit world."
Welcome, Earth daughters!
Meet Mama Celestine
SHIPIBO HEALER, MOTHER, CARRIER OF SACRED SONGS
Mama Celestina is an Onanya—an ancestral healer and spiritual guide of the Shipibo people—known more broadly as a Curandera in the Amazonian tradition.
Mama Celestina was born on the banks of the great Ucayali River, deep in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon. She comes from a long and respected lineage of Shipibo healers — guardians of sacred plant knowledge, ancestral songs, and spiritual connection to the forest.
Her first teacher was her father, Don José, the lead healer of their small riverine community. He worked with a wide range of powerful plant medicines — including Mucura, Toe, Garlic Sacha, Chacruna, and the sacred Mother Ayahuasca. Under his care, Celestina began her path of apprenticeship, learning to communicate with plant spirits through dietas — extended periods of isolation, fasting, and prayer in communion with the forest.
After Don José passed, she continued her studies with her uncle, Don Arturo, a revered Shipibo maestro known for his deep spiritual connection and powerful Icaros — healing songs known as kené. Through these songs, Mama Celestina learned to enter altered states of consciousness and channel the healing energy of the plants.
jungle. For over a year, she entered deep dietas, calling upon the spirits, singing to her ancestors, and drawing on everything she had been taught. After two long years — through guidance from the plants and spirit world — she miraculously found her daughter, who had been kidnapped and taken deep into the forest.
Today, Mama Celestina lives in the Amazon with her daughters, where she holds ceremonies and healings in a small center she has built with her own hands. She continues to carry the wisdom of her lineage — not only as a healer, but as a mother, a protector, and a bridge between worlds.
In May 2025, Mama Celestina will travel outside the Amazon for the first time, bringing her medicine and stories to Helsinki, Finland — a living testament to the strength, faith, and ancestral knowledge of the Shipibo women.
