You've been disconnected from your body for too long.
Living from the neck up. Ignoring the whispers. Overriding the signals. Your body holds profound wisdom—ancient intelligence that knows exactly what you need.
This is your invitation to come home to the body that has been waiting for you.
Your body has been speaking. It's time to listen.
"This isn't about healing what's broken. This is about remembering the wisdom your body has carried all along—and learning to trust it as your most powerful guide."
The new year beckons with unprecedented possibility. Start 2026 from a place of embodied knowing and somatic intelligence.
Begin the new year reconnected to your body's wisdom, setting intentions from an embodied place rather than mental should's.
January invites deep inner work and somatic restoration, perfect for reconnecting with the intelligence that lives in your body.
After giving to everyone else during the holidays, this is sacred time to tend to your body and soul—to finally come home to yourself.
Starting in January gives you the full year ahead to practice and embody your somatic tools, creating lasting transformation.
Are you a woman who...
You've achieved what society calls success, yet you're disconnected from your essence. You're yearning for deeper connection to your body's wisdom and a renewed sense of authentic vitality.
You're tired of old stories, patterns, and ways of being that keep you small. You're ready to release what no longer serves and step into your full power.
You've explored wellness modalities but you're ready to go deeper. You want to unlock the somatic wisdom that lives within and learn to trust your body as your primary guidance system.
You're done playing it safe. You're curious about plant medicine as a catalyst for somatic empowerment and ready to reclaim your radiance.
While others focus on healing trauma, we focus on reclaiming power. Our compassionately crafted approach honors your innate wisdom and systematically guides you through three transformative phases designed to reconnect you with your body's deep healing intelligence.
This isn't trauma work—this is somatic empowerment.
Experience 3 carefully crafted ceremonies with the grandfather medicine that gently opens the heart while reconnecting you to your felt sense and somatic wisdom. Unlike other plant medicines, Huachuma is uniquely suited for body-based work.
Why Huachuma for somatic work: Known for its empathogenic properties, San Pedro creates the perfect container for nervous system attunement and body awareness. The medicine lasts 8-12 hours during daylight, allowing you to access the gentle rhythm of your body's innate healing intelligence while remaining grounded and connected to your surroundings.
Maximum 8 women. Ocean-view suite accommodations. Meticulously designed for safety and sisterhood. This isn't just a retreat—it's a homecoming to your most embodied self, held in the power of feminine witness and support.
3 preparation sessions, daily somatic practices, individual navigation sessions, plus 3 months of post-retreat support ensure your transformation integrates into lasting change. You won't just have an experience—you'll have the tools to sustain it.
Our unique methodology systematically reconnects you with your body's intelligence through three carefully designed phases.

Co-Founder & Trauma-Informed Facilitator
Kimberly is the co-founder of Ananda Lodge and a certified somatic trauma-informed medicine facilitator and integration guide. Bringing over 10 years of personal coaching and plant medicine work, she turned to ancient healing traditions after experiencing corporate burnout.
Kimberly continues to walk the path of humble service, providing one-to-one coaching and guidance through plant medicine journeys. She is also a certified sound healing therapist and herbalist in training, having received mentorship from leading trauma-informed practitioners. With deep reverence for the Shipibo-Konibo tribe, she continues to apprentice in ayahuasca shamanism and facilitation.
Trauma-Informed Medicine Carrier
Nikki, originally from Canada, now lives between Peru and her family home. Coming from a background of addiction and depression, she was called to Peru in 2018 to work with sacred medicines for deep healing.
Trained in somatic trauma-informed plant medicine facilitation, Nikki embodies a balance of grit and softness, creating permission for each woman to explore her unique somatic experience with the medicine. With deep reverence for the magic that unfolds in ceremony, she meets each individual where they're at, supporting their journey of somatic reclamation with humor, grace, and authentic presence.
"What a refreshing plant medicine guide and teacher. I don't think you could find anyone as authentic and caring as Nikki. She's a warrior, coach and care giver wrapped into one. The big take away for me was Nikki's personal mantra of taking personal responsibility. You could tell she walks the walk! Thank you for the learnings sister. Thank you for the love and support."
"Kimberly and Jason have created a unique and wonderful oasis with Ananda Lodge. They are honoring and carrying forward the traditions of plant medicine from Peru. Our fearless Huachumera, Nikki, is an amazing guide and spirit to work with both in and out of ceremony. The work that Nikki did with our group was healing and truly special. I am honored to have gone through ceremonies with her and would certainly do so again and highly recommend her to others."
"I started searching online for a retreat when I realized I was being called to try healing plant medicine. As soon as I found Ananda Lodge I knew it was the right place. I feel more alive, joyful, grateful and full of love than I have in my entire life. The Huachumera, Nikki, is a genuine, caring person with profound respect for the medicine. This place is special. These people are special. Go if you are being called. They are the real deal."
"From the verbiage on the website to the luxurious nature of the lodge and setting to the warmth of the staff - it was very close to perfect! I felt so welcome, supported and nurtured. I loved the intimate nature of the small group as well as the ability of the guides to step back and allow us to have our own experience yet still be right there to catch us when we needed them. I leave Ananda Lodge with a deep sense of peace, gratitude and appreciation."
Have questions about Huachuma medicine? We're here to support your journey with education and transparency.
Huachuma, also known as San Pedro, is a sacred cactus medicine that has been used for over 3,000 years in Peru. The name 'Huachuma' comes from the Quechua language and translates to 'removing the head,' symbolizing the dissolution of the ego. Known as the grandfather medicine, Huachuma is uniquely suited for somatic work because it gently opens the heart while keeping you grounded and connected to your body's felt sense. Unlike other plant medicines, it has no pharmaceutical contraindications, making it accessible to more people.
Huachuma is known for its empathogenic properties, promoting unity with self, others, and nature. The medicine lasts 8-12 hours during daylight, allowing you to access the gentle rhythm of your body's innate healing intelligence while remaining connected to your surroundings. It creates the perfect container for nervous system attunement and body awareness, helping you reconnect with sensations, emotions, and the wisdom held in your tissues. This makes it ideal for women wanting to come home to their bodies.
Absolutely. This retreat was created specifically to support both first-time participants and those with previous plant medicine experience. We provide extensive somatic preparation, trauma-informed facilitation, and individualized support to ensure you feel safe and ready throughout your journey. Our 3-phase methodology systematically prepares your nervous system for the work.
Ceremonies are held during daytime (8am-5:30pm), allowing you to work with the medicine while connected to nature. You may experience heightened awareness, emotional release, deep connection to your body's sensations, heart-opening, and profound insights about your somatic patterns. Our experienced guides hold safe space throughout, supporting you to stay present with your body's wisdom. Effects typically last 8-12 hours and are known for being gentle and heart-centered.
Safety is our top priority. We maintain a maximum group size of 8 women for personalized attention, provide comprehensive medical screening, offer trauma-informed facilitation by experienced guides trained in somatic practices, and include extensive preparation and integration support. Our intimate setting allows us to be attentive to each participant's needs throughout the experience, supporting your nervous system to feel safe enough to do deep work.
