Personal Testimonials
I am grateful to say I am in an incredible place in myself. My life since I returned home from the Iboga retreat,has been expansive, abundant, and incredibly aligned with my purpose. I have been very focused on myself and my sovereign path. I have made conscious choices on a daily basis towards joy and peace, which has helped my energy and my emotional states tremendously. My nervous system feels reset and relaxed. I have had the space in myself to go really deep to the core of my emotions when I have felt scared or triggered instead of feeling overwhelmed by anger. It has opened up this really beautiful space for self-containment and healing that I wasn't able to reach before our ceremony. I often feel amazed by my resilience and my ability to transmute old habits, thoughts, and energy. I continue to attract a multitude of opportunities to create financial abundance - the most important facilitating sound healing and mentoring others on their path of awakening. My voice feels like I received an incredible re-calibration. I asked the medicine to activate the full capacity of my gifts and they continue to expand. I seem to be calling in the teachers, elders and mentors that will help me most at this time of personal alchemy :). The friendships and connections I have been attracting and nurturing have also been really aligned with my greater vision and I feel a new sense of Tribe. I am so happy. I feel fulfilled and grateful every day - sometimes so much that I am really emotional about it. I feel immensely connected to Mother Earth, to my guides, to my ancestors, to the angels around me. I speak my gratitude to the Bwiti guides and teachers often. I know they continue to work with me and guide me. You were right when you asked me to trust and to wait and see how this medicine would be working through me for the coming months. I feel it every day. I acknowledge it every moment I witness it. I am so grateful to you for being a profound instrument in my healing and expansion. I hope I can see you again soon :)

I can still see and notice the long-lasting effects Iboga has had. I haven't felt anxious or depressed (except on 2 occasions where I was wayyyy tooo stimulated for over-socializing).. I haven't sought elation much either and for the first time in a long time, I haven't felt the need to reach out and talk to friends, BE happiness for people, overshare, or seek novelty constantly. I haven't felt the sadness in a month either. (Although it could be because I haven't had many deep long meditations yet and usually that's when emotions surface for me). The self-care routines have been much easier and effortless.. I looked in the mirror a few times and noticed that I felt beautiful.. I always thought it, but never felt it. My anxiety around my health is dissipating too. I don't worry about half the symptoms I had while thinking "I'm done for, it's just downhill from here". . the pain was gone for 3 weeks, and though it is better on IT band, the rest IS very much present.. it doesn't agitate me like it used to though and I actually know and feel that it will disappear after I've learned all the necessary lessons.. I feel patient and open to the process.. I used to feel like I was dragging myself through each day just praying it would improve, and now I'm excited every day to plug away at all those important tasks [including stillness and doing absolutely nothing but being present] that will heal me. there's still a lot of work to do, but it feels so doable.. its a fascinating inspiring thing, this plant medicine.. I knew I had a lot of subconscious stuff I need to purge but I couldn't fathom that it all was so interconnected and what exactly I had to let go of. I know a lot is left to purge, but what has been rid of has helped me see and notice changes in myself that I didn't even know I had to shift.. I can still feel -sense- be that "innate nature" girl inside (the one that is "one with the earth" and still beyond still, "soul") whenever I close my eyes.. it peaks its head every time my body impulsively wants to over-work, over-share, etc., and reminds me where my center is.

Bette instilled in me the confidence that she knew what she was doing. When complicated issues (entities and demons) arose, she handled it skillfully. She heard me; she attended to me. She made healing possible. Highly recommended!

The Iboga keeps on giving. As my sleep has improved my cortisol levels are changing and I actually feel thinner - not that that is a goal but it is more like - I feel like this is more my body….is it subtle and clearer and I feel there is a clearing of Body shame. I felt sexy and beautiful yesterday. YAY!

I wanted to experience Iboga to help me clear behavioral patterns and artificial concepts/belief systems in my brain that were installed in me without my conscious awareness. After Iboga experience- overall I feel lighter in the sense that it feels a lot of mental toxicity was removed from my system. I feel calmer, more peaceful, and more harmonious. As a long time spiritual student/teacher I was able to truly experience ( in the sense that it is no longer a belief in a concept but an actual knowing and experience)- the third eye. During my experience, I was guided by a male voice that was explaining to me in a very calm and loving manner the meaning of what I see in my third eye and how it relates to a deeper Truth vs my personal life. Art therapy was an important component- because it provided me with deep insight into my inner world and as thus after careful reflection on it- I was able to understand the deeper meaning and a construction of reality from my inner world- how it is all woven together. During my time with Bette- I felt completely worry-free, very safe, and cared for. Any of the questions arising in my head- was immediately answered by Bette- without me actually verbalizing it. When I needed reassurance during the experience- Bette provided exactly that. I could not even imagine anything being executed with more grace than I experienced under Bette's guidance and care. Overall it was a once of a lifetime experience that I m grateful for from the depth of my heart. Thank you so much.

" I just cannot thank you enough for the life I have since the Iboga experience you so professionally, compassionately, and expertly guided me through. My damaged eye from boxing is healed. My prostate is MUCH better. The damage I suffered from childhood abuse, football concussions, Hockey concussions, and 27 years of boxing are ALL GONE. I feel as if I am a new man. Those traumatic, drama-inducing, diminished health experiences, are literally OUT OF ME. I feel enthusiastic about my every day and every moment in my life again as if I am the 9-year-old we went back to during the treatment. I am ME again!! I could go on and on and on about the subtle differences as well, like no more procrastinating, no more, lack of self-esteem, and self-confidence, I am full steam ahead in life and I have not been this full of life and excited to be living since I was the 9-year-old we visited in my treatment.

Hello, my name is Deanna, in December 2022 I traveled to Costa Rica, and met with a dear friend of mine and also had the honor of working with and meeting Zabette. Zabette is a very knowledgeable woman with the plant medicine she works with. When my healing journey started, she realized I wasn’t getting there on my own and guided me through the whole beautiful process. The freedom I feel of resetting myself, my body, and my soul, I am very thankful for. Zabette is a woman of love and compassion, and a very good cook as well! She treated me with kindness, and always made sure I was as comfortable as possible. If you are looking to heal yourself and your inner child she can help you through this process. I look forward to seeing her again on a personal and healing level as I am honored to call Zabette a friend of mine.
