About Core Breath Consulting
We start with the whole person, then treat the concern.
Our approach
We plan for you, not for a diagnosis. Each client gets a plan built from their own history, body and goals. No two plans look alike.
Why harmony?
We use fruit as medicine, herbs for support, and one clear target for each concern. Give the body what it needs and it settles.
Our center
Our center sits in the mountains of Ecuador, close to Quito, the capital. We have space to host up to 15 people, with food, water, medicine and lodging all on site.
The medicine keeper
A native of Quito, he has been planting, harvesting and preparing the medicine of Aguacolla, Wachuma and San Pedro since a young age. He cooks the medicine alongside his wife and children, and for many years he has shared it with Taitas in Ecuador and beyond, bringing healing to everyone who comes to sit.
The land around the center
