Wanda is an absolute amazing person , someone that functions with only the highest integrity of love. She has been such an important person in my healing journey .
She extends her kindness to the community and tries to help everyone find the best version of themself.
She has been like a mother to me in so many ways and has listen to all my rants. She is patient and kind and has never made me feel uncomfortable in any way. She has held my hand when I needed. Been a ear to listen when I needed, and wiped my tears when I needed it.
I hold the upmost respect for Wanda, as a mentor, a teacher , a women of medicine , and so much more.
I always wanted to try plant medicine but I was always afraid , until I found out Wanda. She made me feel comfortable and trust her to begin my healing journey with the plants .
Best decision I have ever made! I highly recommend her as an amazing shaman healer !
Thank you Wanda ❤️
I attended a Grandmother ceremony in March. I was impressed with Wanda’s spirituality, knowledge and personal attention to each of the participants. She is quite knowledgeable and made me feel welcome and comfortable in her presence. The ceremony is your own personal journey, but Wanda is a wonderful, caring guide. She watches over everybody. I am planning to return.
THANK YOU WANDA
Wanda is a kind and thoughtful shaman who creates a safe and welcoming space for everyone who makes their way to her space. I have worked with Wanda in numerous capacities over many years in and out of ceremonies. Everything she does is out of love and with the highest intentions. I would recommend her to anyone with no hesitation. Love & light always to all. -FY
Wanda is a gifted healer and channel who has tremendous integrity and compassion in who she is as a person and in the ceremonies she holds. She offers an amazing amount of knowledge and experience. She has a beautiful way of holding safe space for all who participate in her ceremonies, allowing each person to go through their own process in their own way. I trust her implicitly.
Wanda held space that was not influenced by her own “baggage”, experiences or ego. The ceremony was not about her performance but only the medicine and each individual’s journey. Her medicine was very gentle. Overall, I will be sitting with her again.
I sat with Wanda for three ceremonies, one one day retreat and another two day retreat. During the first ceremony I sat with her she spent time right before ceremony complaining about her husband. She also channeled using gummies and during the channeling she told me she and I had been lovers in a past life, it was very uncomfortable. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and tried again since she was having a special guest for ceremony, I saw her take pharmaceuticals right before ceremony mixing it with the medicine. Her daughter screamed that she hated her Mom during ceremony completely pulling me away from my journey. During the channeling ceremony she again brought up how we had been lovers in a past life. Just completely inappropriate for a facilitator.
I worked with Wanda for almost two years . The reason it took me so long to walk away is that I was such a bad place when I arrived and the medicine was helping. She also showed a lot of love at the beginning but overtime I continued to see more and more unacceptable behavior from het. She should not be “holding space” for anyone. She has repeatedly taken the confidential information of her participants and shared it with other people in her groups. When she is called out for her behavior she takes no accountability and instead tries to paint a bad picture of the person pointing it out to other people joining her groups. She has also many times shared negative stories about her own life right before ceremony and even has “channeled” messages of what spirit says will happen in your ceremony thereby influencing your ceremony before going in. She will take people who sat in ceremony with her once or twice and have them help hold space for others in upcoming ceremonies. On several occasions during her channeling circles she insisted that she had a “past life” with my partner, telling me that she and him were divine lovers first and now it’s my turn. I was in a bad place when I found her and a few months into working with her she starting using thc to “channel” messages, one day she told me that spirit had a surprise for me and she insisted that I take one too. Being vulnerable and thinking she was further along spiritually than I was I took one explaining to her that it usually just makes me fall asleep.Then she pushed me to sit up and stay up all night with her “channeling”. Another time she insisted I would “painfully” push out an attachment when going to the bathroom and when it didn’t happen she told me that because I didn’t want to do the work she was going to have to “give birth” for me. She would also talk about how “protected” she was as a shaman. Sharing how her guides would punish people from other containers but it wasn’t her, it was “spirit”. I believe this was one of the ways she tried to instill fear so people wouldn’t cross her. Her practices are completely unethical , emotionally manipulative and dangerous.
Wanda’s sacred ceremony is truly a transformative experience. It provides a beautifully safe and intentionally crafted space for healing and self-development. Participants can connect deeply with themselves while cultivating self-love in the presence of fellow souls who are on similar journeys. Wanda’s home radiates love, filled with beautiful energy shared among all attendees.
I am profoundly grateful to have discovered Wanda. Her work is invaluable, and I cannot recommend her enough. She is a true gift to humanity, dedicated to elevating the collective consciousness of our planet. It’s an honor to work with her. As an incredibly gifted facilitator in the plant medicine space, Wanda’s extensive knowledge and professionalism shine through. Her charming, witty personality ensures that everyone feels seen and heard. Overall, this experience is one that can profoundly impact anyone seeking growth and connection.
Beautiful ceremony. A+ Wanda holds space and serves her medicine with integrated my and guides a beautiful ceremony. Will continue to do my work here.
Wanda and the Ayahuasca Retreat Experience
I want to take a moment to share about Wanda, the incredible facilitator of the Ayahuasca retreats in New Jersey. From the moment you meet her, she feels like a nurturing mother—gentle, caring, and deeply respectful of the medicine. Her reverence for the sacred process is so profound that you naturally grow to hold the same love and respect for it.
My first retreat with her was the most beautiful, transformative experience of my life. I’m already planning to return in April for another journey. Throughout the entire retreat, Wanda’s care and guidance made us feel like we were her children—safe, protected, and truly seen. Her warmth and wisdom created an environment where healing felt not only possible but inevitable.
I can confidently say that Wanda knows what she’s doing—she’s the real deal. She holds space with integrity and grace, allowing profound healing to unfold, as long as we are willing to do our part. With the right facilitator, like Wanda, there is no need to fear taking this powerful step. When you heal yourself, you also heal your lineage—those who came before you and those who will follow.
If you’re considering an Ayahuasca journey, I highly recommend experiencing it with Wanda. It’s more than a retreat—it’s a sacred, life-changing path to deep healing.
I feel very honored to be working with Wanda through my healing journey. She has wonderful vibes and so do her Angel Helpers. They make you feel welcomed and at home. Her land is beautiful and quiet and her Maloca is so inviting and peaceful. I love that she does only small groups which keeps the ceremonies more intimate. Wanda first sends out applications with many health/personal questions to all those who are interested in doing plant medicine with her. She will then let you know if you qualify based off your answers. She wants to make sure your health comes first. When you arrive, Wanda will show you around and let you get settled in. She makes sure you are relaxed and goes over the ceremony with you so you can know what to expect. She gives you the option of using a few other plant medicines with Ayahuasca. So nothing is ever forced. During the ceremonies her and the Angel Helpers are there watching over us, in case we need them. Wanda knows exactly when you will need her and she doesn’t hesitate to come to you if necessary. After ceremonies, there are integration and healing circles.
She doesn’t stop there, after you leave, integration continues, and you can contact her anytime and she will also be in contact with you. Your safety is her number one priority.
For years, I had dreamed of doing Plant medicine, waiting for the perfect time and place. The first time I met Wanda, I knew right away that she was the one to guide me; I felt completely safe with her. Her knowledge and wonderful energy create a space that is loving and truly safe to do the work.
When I had my first ceremony with Wanda I had so many doubts and questions. After my ceremony I walked out of there with absolutely no questions or doubts that I made the right decision in trusting Wanda. I continue to stay in contact with Wanda and will definitely continue to work with her.
I feel honored to know Wanda. She holds her work in honor, safety, respect and true wisdom. I adore her energy in every way. She is humble which is so rare to find. She truly has the deepest respect for the plants. I trust her abd admire her.
Just returned from my 4 th and 5 th ceremonies and feel more than ever that my life is changing for the better. My experiences have been beautiful, hard and loving. I know more than ever that I am a spiritual being living a human experience. I’m so glad the Universe and Mother Ayuhuaska led me to Wanda for my initiation into plant medicines. Yemaya Moon Spiritual Church is a wonderful place to heal both physically and spiritually. ❤️
I had been wanting to do Ayahuasca for years, and this past weekend, I finally had the opportunity to sit with Wanda in ceremony. I can’t express how grateful I am for the safe space and beautiful experience that Wanda provided. It was an honor to work with someone that’s so diligent in her teachings, yet super funny and makes you feel comfortable and welcome immediately upon entering her space.
You can tell that she is highly trained and truly loves what she does. You can feel in her calming energy that she truly cares about your journey, and shows you appreciation for showing up. It’s simply her way of life!
I also love that she provides endless integration after ceremony. It’s not only important, but it’s amazing to continue to share with her and the group that you sat with following the experience with an open heart.
I truly feel like I was called to Yemeya Moon Spiritual church for my first experience for a reason!! I was already planning my return before I left. Needless to say, I can’t recommend Wanda and her church enough—it’s an honor to be going back in just a few months!:)
