Close to Pacha Mama

When we live in harmony with the land, there is a union that happens between the Pachamama and our bodies.
The Earth provides for us as we attune to the cycles of the Mother Earth( Pachamama).
Most of us, however, are so used to being in our minds that we forget that connection.
I invite you to come and learn how to deepen your connection with Pachamama and yourself..

  • Lorraine’s home is a sacred space nestled in the heart of nature—a place to ground, heal, and realign with Mother Earth. Here, ancient Andean practices meet present-day seekers in search of clarity, wholeness, and joy.
    Lorraine has extensive training in body work, somatic therapy, shamanism, energy medicine and homeopathy. She has been helping clients heal for over 20 years. Lorraine enjoys empowering her students and clients to be healthier, happier and more fulfilled.

  • Welcome!
    When I am not helping clients heal and feel better, I can be found on my 14 acre farm. I chose the name Ayni farm, because the word Ayni means, sacred reciprocity and harmony. Ayni begins with finding the balance with Pachamama ( Mother Earth) and well, everything…The soil that the plants grow in is all compost that is made on the farm. Pests and diseases are brought into balance with homeopathy or other natural methods. All the animals are treated with love and care.
    Finding this sacred reciprocity with the land, brings abundance and connection. The land is a living being. She has a name. Her name is Veronica. When you step onto the land you can feel the peace, love and harmony.
    Come and visit and put your feet on the ground.

What is a Shamanic Practitioner?

Rachel, Atascadero

"I had the flu, my stomach was so sensitive that I couldn't eat, just the thought of food made my stomach turn. Lorraine for help. She not only got my remedy right on, but she also helped me with my general indecisiveness. Two days into using the remedy,a light turned on. I became very confident in what I wanted."

Zoe, UK

"I have had the great privilege of working with Lorraine on an energetic Shamanic level. She thoroughly explained the process and supported me in a gentle manner. I felt safe and comfortable.. I have also received the Munay-Ki rites from her, which have been profound. I highly recommend working with Lorraine!"

Cindy, Watsonville 

"I had sciatica pain for 10 years. After 2 sessions with Lorraine, my pain was gone. It has been 4 years since I last saw her, and the pain has not returned. I call her as my "witch doctor" because I didn't think anyone could help take the pain away. It's a miracle!"

Teresa, Santa Cruz 

"I had a workplace injury that was interfering with my life.
Lorraine made me feel comfortable right away and brought me relief after just one visit. It took two visits to put my body back to normal, and my carpal tunnel has never come back!"
