Isabel Allen is here to facilitate the meeting of many worlds.

Isabel is a Registered Nurse with a Master of Science degree from Columbia University in New York City. She has a deep understanding of and appreciation for biomedicine and evidence-based practice. Yet she simultaneously felt her values and practice were limited by this model alone, and experienced a call to the tradition and ancient wisdom of plant-based medicine. This call led her to the sacred lands of the Zapotec and Mazatec in the Oaxacan region of Mexico, where she began her initiations into Earth Medicines.

Isabel then spent a year working in the Peruvian Amazon Jungle and the Sacred Valley, leading plant medicine retreats & facilitating hundreds of ceremonies for hundreds of global citizens. She deepened her connection to the Shipibo tradition by traveling into the deep jungle with Maestra Justina Cerrano Alvarez to complete a one month shamanic plant dieta.

Isabel learned the way of living and healing through the Medicine Wheel. Through the wisdom of the Elements. Through the power of Ritual, Prayer, & Presence. Through right relationship with Self & Earth. Through reconnection to community.

In addition to her medicine and ceremonial work, Isabel is a Healing Arts Practitioner, Integration Coach, and Embodiment Guide. She has a background in somatic trauma healing, yoga, dance, breath work, vocal activation, and immersive nature therapy. It is her joy to help others weave wisdom from their medicine work into their daily lives to create and expand within the felt experience of wholeness. Through this unfolding, we unlock our own medicine within.

Through Isabel’s extensive training in both worlds, she has cultivated an ability to hold space for the depth of the human experience. She has come to understand that accessing deep transformation through plant medicines & psychedelics calls for a true commitment to the preparation and integration. Isabel meets clients where they are in their journey, and from there she guides them in discovering their own unique path to expansion.
