Originally from Acapulco, Mexico, I grew up in Seattle, Washington, where I lived for 25 years. My life was defined by an ongoing battle with substance abuse, struggling with addiction for over 18 years. In 2014, my encounter with ibogaine changed my destiny—it wasn’t just a treatment; it was a turning point. After 2 years of experience with ibogaine, I began working with the medicine alongside my mentor, David Dardashti, one of the pioneers in this field.
Now, with 10 years of experience facilitating and supporting people through different medicines and treatments, I continue to expand my knowledge by taking courses and seminars, further developing my expertise every day, while also learning new techniques and approaches for the safety and harm reduction of emerging drugs and substances.
What makes our work with M.A. Elizabeth unique is the convergence of two worlds. We operate in a strictly clinical environment—with EKGs, blood work, and cutting-edge safety protocols—while keeping the spiritual and shamanic path open. We understand that a human being is not just chemistry; We are energy, soul, mind, and body.
Any clinic can help you get clean for a few days, but the real key is what happens next. At AHAL IBOGA, we focus on long-term aftercare. Integration is the real work: it is where the experience transforms into a new life. My commitment is to be present in that process, sharing the tools that allowed me, and hundreds of others, to remain in the light.
Every case is unique. There are no 'one-size-fits-all' treatments because no two people are the same. Under the guidance of M.A. Elizabeth and our medical team, we ensure that every guest—from young adults to seniors —undergoes a rigorous screening. We utilize Temazcal (sweat lodge), Epsom salt baths, and various medicines to create the safe space your transformation requires.
Addiction does not discriminate, but neither does freedom. This is the way back home.
