Ayahuasca & Ancestral Healing: The Truth About Plant Medicine and Connection with Sitaramaya Sita

You’ve heard me talk before about my experiences with plant medicine, those profound moments that reshaped how I relate to my family, my health, and myself. But this conversation with trauma-informed spiritual guide Sitaramya Sita goes even deeper.

Sita has spent nearly three decades studying and teaching ancestral and somatic healing across the Amazon. In this episode, we explore the origins of ayahuasca, what “plant medicine” really means, and how ancient traditions can guide modern healing. Sita explains how indigenous wisdom views illness, integration, and interdependence and why true medicine begins with remembering that we are not separate from nature.
Whether you’ve been curious about ayahuasca or you’re seeking deeper self-understanding, this conversation offers clarity, reverence, and grounded insight into one of the world’s oldest healing traditions.
