TESTIMONIALS
Maestra Ixca
Born in Monterrey, Mexico my Native American & Mexican heritage is ribboned with ancient and modern-day philosophies of natural medicine.
Like my mother, I too am a mother of 8 children from a traditional Mexican lineage. This experience allowed me to integrate a legacy of proven alternative healing modalities, which serve as a foundation for my own posterity. I bring to the grand mesa of celebration a depth of professional talent, education, and hard-acquired experience to serve those brought to my presence.
I am a 2012 Master Aesthetics graduate of Acaydia School of Aesthetics in Provo, Utah. I finished with the highest scores in sales and services performed in the history of the school. In addition, I advanced to complete an additional 1000 hours for my instructor’s certificate of licensure.
I have spent extensive hours training in Chile, Peru, Mexico, and the United States combining traditional schooling, with an effective organic approach, found in the beautiful cultures of South America. Having completed the University of Utah pre-law program, together with the completion in three areas of meditation Divorce, Landlord/Tenant, and Marital Reconciliation, through Rodriguez-Poston & Fackrell of IMediate Utah, my artistic approach in communication is an absolute contribution to the successful outcomes for each client. These areas of training have allowed me to work with Utah legislators in crafting bills to support professional licensing agendas for public safety and quality control.
My dual licensing in Utah and California has brought me to work in both traditional and alternative holistic institutes of skin care and natural medicine. While working at the prestigious Cohn Health Institute, under the direction of Dr. Howard Cohn, I began my educational journey into Quantum Healing. As a double-certified Quantum Healing Hypnosis Practitioner (QHHT), I can provide a true method of healing to help others proliferate their highest directive light within, successfully addressing even their most complex and challenging, emotional and physical, debilitating symptoms.
I work to assist all who choose to come to free themselves from life’s traumas, social sigmas, and culture clashes and step into their divine purpose. Finally, we are free to be.

Jennie Marie Battistin, LMFT
As a certified psychedelic medicine psychotherapist, I have been working in the field of mental health for almost two decades and in medical offices for almost four decades. I have advanced trauma training in modalities such as EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and other somatic modalities.
I incorporate mindfulness as a powerful tool for increasing our capacity for innate healing. I have two best-selling books on Mindfulness. This has provided me the opportunity to be invited frequently by various ABC, NBC, and CBS news channels throughout the United States as well as a guest commentator in several media articles.
I am the mother of 5 grown children and practice owner Hope Therapy Center, of one of the largest psychotherapy practices in the greater Los Angeles area with 35 clinicians and 2 locations. I am also a partner in Hope Integrative Psychiatry California, a center dedicated to mental health recovery through integrative medicine and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.
I am passionate about helping others heal and improve their mental health. Psychedelics have been shown to have a range of potential benefits, from treating depression and anxiety to enhancing creativity and personal growth. I have witnessed firsthand the potential of these plant medicines to promote positive change, healing, and transformation. Psychedelic experiences can be intense and emotionally challenging, and it's essential to have a safe and supportive environment and a trained psychotherapist to help you integrate your experience.
I enjoy helping clients understand the profound journey during the use of psychedelics and the intersection of mind, body, and soul. I have witnessed the transformation of psychedelics in unlocking a gateway to a spiritual awakening, creating an opportunity for individuals to explore the depths of their consciousness. As the boundaries between the self and the universe blur, users may find themselves confronting deep-seated beliefs and emotions, fostering a newfound sense of interconnectedness and meaning. Assisting clients in integrating these experiences into everyday life can lead to transformative personal growth.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a minor in Pre-Med from Woodbury University. I graduated Suma Cum Laude with a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University.
I have completed a 1-year fellowship to become certified in Psychedelic Medicine. My certification was focused on Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy with psychedelic medicines such as Ketamine, Psilocybin, Bufo 5-MeO-DMT, Ayahuasca, San Pedro (Mescaline), Peyote, LSD, and MDMA. I completed the fellowship and certification examination during the 2021/2022 cohort through the prestigious Integrative Psychiatry Institute. Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy can help reduce or eliminate anxiety, treatment-resistant depression, assist in recovery from substance abuse/dependence, and provide a significant reduction in PTSD symptoms when monitored by trained professionals.
Psychotherapy Integration: Connecting to a deeper sense of self through the integration of a plant/animal medicine experience can be a profound and transformative journey. These substances have the potential to unlock hidden aspects of our consciousness, facilitating a unique opportunity for introspection and self-discovery. During a well-guided medicine experience, individuals may encounter suppressed emotions, unresolved traumas, and long-forgotten memories, creating a path to healing and understanding. However, the true magic lies in the integration process that follows the experience. Through intentional reflection, therapy, and support, one can make sense of the psychedelic insights, bridging the wisdom gained during the altered state of consciousness with their everyday life. This process allows individuals to embrace their authentic selves, gain newfound clarity, and foster personal growth, ultimately leading to a more profound connection with their deeper essence and the world around them. It is essential to approach these experiences with respect, responsibility, and a willingness to navigate the inner realms, unlocking the potential for positive and lasting change.
Kelli Luck Slade, Esq
I am an attorney who has been in the corporate world for over 20 years, the mother of three twenty-somethings, and the founder of an expanding idea called, Balance Tribe. Because of this, I understand the challenges that women sometimes face in integrating the truly varied aspects of themselves into their equally complex lives.
I also recognize that many women struggle to find the balance between their personal and spiritual growth and the demands of their careers, families, and other obligations. Driven by my own evolution, I felt called to share my gained knowledge and insights with others seeking to awaken to their inner lives and expand into the fullness of who they truly are in every aspect of their being.
I am a passionate and present retreat leader, sound healer, and coach, dedicated to empowering women on their path to self-awareness and self-development.
Incorporating my love for healing and spirituality, I use sound, to leverage the power of vibrational frequencies to facilitate emotional release and energetic alignment. This approach is holistic and enables participants to release negative emotions, tap into their inner wisdom, and experience profound healing, realignment, and relaxation.
In my work as a coach, through one-on-one sessions and group workshops, I guide women in releasing limiting beliefs, stepping into their strengths, and creating a life aligned with their deepest desires. My coaching style combines empathy, intuition, spiritual practices, and sustainable actions to assist clients to overcome obstacles and embrace their true selves.
As a retreat leader, I fashion curated and transformative experiences, carefully designed to create a safe, beautiful, harmonious, and nurturing space for individuals to explore what’s inside. Using modalities like storytelling, silence, and ecstatic dance, participants are opened to deepening self-reflection and personal growth.
I received my Juris Doctor from UNC-Chapel Hill, sound healing training from Sound Embrace, Sound Healing Academy in the UK, Yogi Mehtab, and Coaching Certification from Leadership That Works. I continue to expand my training and spiritual understanding by engaging in personal practices and learning from indigenous elders in Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula and meditation teachers in the Ananda Marga tradition and those who cross my path.
