About Zabette and Shamanic Healing

Zabette Corsan now resides in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. She has been working with the Sacred Iboga Medicine for over 11 years. She is working with the community in Merida, to share a common vision with a liaison of healing modalities. Previously, she has offered retreats in British Columbia in Canada, (Ubud) Bali, The Gambia, Malta, Columbia, Mexico, and Costa Rica. She offers group, couples, family, and individual private sessions. She also provides Iboga Art Therapy and Intuitive Readings.

Zabette has completed a Full Initiation and Rites of Passage with the Missoko Bwiti (the healing branch of the Bwiti Tradition) in Gabon. She is trained to work with Iboga in the Bwiti Traditional way while utilizing western medical protocols.  While she deeply respects the tradition and the people who teach the tradition, she has chosen not to be indoctrinated. Instead, she has dominion over her healing work and works directly with the spirits to facilitate and learn more about healing. The culture in other parts of the world is very different from West Africa, and so it requires an innovative and intuitive approach for the unique challenges. The Bwiti indoctrination process sets up a co-dependent relationship between the western providers and the Gabonese traditional councils. The tradition is oral, has been passed down through many, many generations, and embraces a deep understanding of life. It is not a magic bullet, but with the guidance of someone who is traditionally trained to serve the medicine, the aim is to reconnect a person with their soul.

The soul can easily become disconnected from unresolved trauma at some point in any person’s life. In the modern and traditional understanding of illness and addiction, the root cause is unresolved trauma. The Iboga helps us view these traumas from a higher perspective, and working with forgiveness, self-love, gratefulness, and often with the help of our ancestors, it is possible to make a shift that changes the course of your life. You can learn to use Bwiti and other tools to maintain that connection and live a happy and purposeful life.
