From clinical rigor to conscious medicine

Explore my story, my philosophy, and the science-backed modalities I use to support deep transformation.

The science behind the healer

My path has taken me from operating rooms and research labs to sacred ceremonies and therapeutic retreats.

I trained as an allopathic physician at Anáhuac University, followed by clinical rotations in Houston, TX. My early career in pediatric oncology and neurosurgery provided a deep foundation in evidence-based clinical practice.

However, I soon identified a critical gap in conventional medicine: it failed to fully address patient quality of life, neuroplasticity, and emotional trauma.

This realization led me to advanced training in Functional Medicine (IFM), Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (CIIS & MAPS), and Yoga Psychology.

Witnessing emotional and physical shifts in terminally ill patients led me to explore the therapeutic potential of psychedelic plant medicine and altered states of consciousness.

Today, I integrate science with ancestral wisdom, bringing together functional medicine, psychedelic therapy, and somatic healing to address the root causes of imbalance.

I specialize in functional medicine, which supports the body’s natural healing pathways, and in psychedelic-assisted therapy, a modality with the potential to optimize immune function and transform core belief systems.

My work weaves together rigorous science and sacred tradition to support individuals navigating complex health and emotional journeys.

I’ve spent the last decade researching the intersections of consciousness, immunology, and disease.

I’m currently focused on the role of the microbiome, vagus nerve signaling, and plant compounds (e.g., psilocybin, DMT) in modulating inflammation and trauma resolution.
