Anne Catherine Bourne

Catherine’s powerful journey began with a grim prognosis: diagnosed with late-stage Lyme disease, doctors gave her just 6–12 months to live. Refusing to accept this fate, Catherine embarked on a radical path to healing, seeking ancient wisdom beyond Western medicine. Her quest led her deep into the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, where she immersed herself in the life and practices of the indigenous Varinawa tribe. Living among them, she was introduced to powerful traditional medicines, including Kambo, Ayahuasca, and Hape’, and, Under their guidance, Catherine learned how to "serve herself" – taking ownership of her healing with nature’s medicine. Now, Catherine is dedicated to "paying it forward." Her mission is to share the insights and healing power she discovered  with others who are facing serious health challenges or seeking recovery from life’s traumas, mixing her jungle experience along with Pachamama Sacred Paths Andean cosmologies of Peru.
