Let nature nurture your SOUL with the force of Rapé

Healing may not require more time, but an experience that show your internal system a different reality

Rapé (pronounced hah-peh) is a plant medicine, traditionally used by South American tribes for thousands of years to purify and realign the body, mind, and spirit.

The medicine guides you through a deep energetic reset. It clears stagnant blockages, detoxifies the internal system, and quiets the mind. Rapé contains no psychoactive ingredients and is not a hallucinogen, yet it has the ability to lead you into deep introspection, creating space for reflection, insights, and emotional release.

What hides in shadow becomes wisdom when Rapé MOVES through.

Immerse yourself in a personalized three-hour healing journey in Tulum, a place renowned for its energetic field that opens the path to breakthroughs.

Through ceremony, Rapé offers access to a heightened state of awareness, an opportunity to connect with altered states of consciousness. Rapé grounds you in the body, quiets the mind, and opens a direct connection to the heart chakra—the center where intention and manifestation come together. 

When intention is honest and connection is real, energy opens by itself. Led the way within, it enters you with insights that support true healing and transformation.

A private Rapé ritual awaits you in Tulum and is offered within two different service packages:

  • The Fire package includes Rapé and forms part of an inner journey through a Kundalini Life Force Activation.
  • The Air package includes Rapé and forms part of an inner journey through Shamanic Breathwork.

Rapé reveals MORE than you might expect

There are countless reasons why I work with the medicine as a holistic therapist.

For generations, Rapé has been used to support a wide range of conditions, to aid healing, and to carry ancestral wisdom that nurtures overall well-being.

As the blend enters through your nostrils, it activates a powerful cleansing process, opening the nasal passages and sinuses, clearing residual mucus, and helping your body release stored toxins. This opening creates a shift throughout your internal system. Your breathing becomes more supported, blood flow to the brain increases, and important neurotransmitters — such as epinephrine, acetylcholine, and dopamine — are influenced in ways that sharpen your awareness.

An activation that strengthens immune responsiveness, boosts vitality, and brings the nervous system into a regulated, calm state.

The medicine itself does not do the work for you; it amplifies your own energy and allows you to purify what once held you down, helping you call in what is needed to break through and move forward with clarity and peace from within.

The benefits of Rapé for inner work

  • Grounds and centers the body
  • Clears mental fog higher awareness
  • Fosters a deeper connection to the spiritual real
  • Loosens egoic control
  • Illuminates limiting beliefs for liberation
  • Guides shadow work to help process trauma
  • Strengthens intention and focus
  • Enhances emotional intelligence
  • Facilitates perspective shifts and insingns

The mind is an instrument; clearing is how you tune in.

Rapé stills your mind, settles your thoughts, and reduces the need for control. It affects cognitive processing by activating the limbic system, engaging both the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex. This process helps clear mental patterns and blockages, providing a reset that can shift your inner world and influence the way you think and move through life.

Plants are not alternative medicine; they are the original.

Rapé is made from a blend of finely ground tree ashes and medicinal leaves, including mapacho. Mapacho is a powerful Amazonian tobacco, the “active” plant in rapé, providing spiritual cleansing and protection. The medicinal herbs in rapé also contain alkaloids, natural chemicals found in many plants (like theobromine in chocolate), which stimulate and regulate your nervous system.

Rapé is not consumed by drinking, snorting, or inhaling; instead, the medicine is gently blown into each nostril using a ceremonial pipe called a Tepi. 

Every person responds in their own way, and ALL of it is welcome.

The experience is not painful, though it may feel unfamiliar at first. You may notice a brief burning sensation, followed by a strong sense of purification. Many people experience an immediate release after receiving the medicine, which can include burping, coughing, or expressing energy through sound. 

This is completely natural, and you are encouraged to allow your energy to flow freely by embracing your authentic expression as it comes.

“Release is intelligence in motion; allow it to guide you through your process”

Based on the service package you choose,
a different blend of Rapé will be used.

There are many varieties of Rapé; each is a unique creation of tribe and plant, carrying its own protective character, purpose, and healing spirit. The specific blend used is chosen according to your treatment and the intentions you bring.

Kuntanawa Rapé is a blend I often work with, as it focuses on the heart and energetic centers where stored trauma, emotions, and memories reside. It carries feminine energy, making it ideal for strengthening intuition, deepening self-connection, and fostering trust. Kuntanawa Rapé pairs beautifully with ceremonial cacao and is often used during Kundalini life-force activations.

Another blend, Vashawa Rapé, carries masculine energy and provides openness, courage, and stability. I often work with this blend in ceremonies with men or when guiding couples on a shared journey.

The benefits of both blends lie in the activation of the chakras, starting from the sacral chakra, located under the belly, where passion, creativity, intimacy, and desires are stored.

Activating your chakra with clear intention ignites transformation.

Holistic wellness offerings take place in Tulum, created with care and respect for your individual process.

When we work with the medicine of rapé, the blend is carefully chosen in collaboration with you to provide the greatest benefit for your current state. The intention is to meet you exactly where you are — in your humanness, your healing, and your becoming. This can only happen once trust is earned: when you feel your story can be held.

Therefore, all services include a personal consultation to understand your needs and tailor the experience to your authentic energy anatomy and Human Design.

“I’m integrating well. I slept for a good part of the day, as i needed to recharge my energy after the deep work we did yesterday. What an insight, what an exploration a beginning that feels inspiring! Today i was able to drop into a silent meditation, something i haven’t been able to do for quite some time, so I’m already feeling positive change. Thank you Veerle for holding space and for all that you bring to life.”
- Vasilisa -
“Since attending your shamanic journey, I’ve discovered a deeper sense of strength and clarity within myself. I can feel that something inside is still processing. My path toward understanding the connection between psychology and spirituality is starting to make sense. Truly grateful for the inspiration and positive influence you’ve had on me. You are a healing wonder with all you do and the medicine you work with. I will be forever thankfull sister!
– Sheila -
“We had such a beautiful morning thanks to you! It truly was magical. We had never done a couple ceremony before, but it was such a healing experience for both of us. We are still integrating over these weeks, with all the insights that came through. From the opening with cacao, to the stillness and connection that the hapé brought. ! We are deeply grateful for what it brought alive in each of us and how it gives meaning to our intentions to grow. Forever grateful.
- Nikki & Steph -
Thank you for your magnificent ceremony over the weekend. It was an awakening of immense depth, filled with countless insights. The way you arranged everything, imbued with such warmth and intention in every delicate detail, awakened a revelation within me. Ooo, and another thing: you inspired me to stop drinking coffee;) I used your recipe for the cacao my girlfriend loves it!! Many thanks V Namaste!
- Bjorn -
“Working with Veerle is a unique experience you’ll never forget. Her ability to tune in to spirit on your behalf is profound transformative. She is not only deeply connected beyond the earthly plane, but also warm, fun, and blessed with a wonderful sense of humor. Grounded and down to earth, she welcomes you into her space without judgment. I felt as if i had known her for years, it was easy to open up and let myself be guided by her practices. I highly recommend her work.“
- Nate -
“Good evening Veerle. This might seem a little random, as it’s been a while since we connect, but let’s just say I finally took your advice to disconnect from the outside, taking my time to integrate. And wow, I truly just wanted to say how deeply helpful the work we did together has been for me. It helped me see how much love I have to give, so I wanted to begin by sharing that with you. So thanks once more for the ceremonies you guide, they’ve given meaning to my life.”
- Scott -
“I’m doing well, feeling grounded and so grateful. Thank you so much for sharing the cacao recipe. I made some yesterday for me and my boyfriend; it was lovely, but yours was so much more powerful and heart-opening. It was one of the tastiest and most deeply opening ones I’ve ever sat with.”
- Shahnoza -
“I worked with Veerle during a heavy period in my life. I felt stuck in many ways, but her approach allowed things to shift. She doesn’t overcomplicate things, but she deserves full credit for helping you understand what’s underneath pain. The whole morning was so relaxing. Such an inspiration too, how energy works and how to take care of it. I feel re-energised, centred, and more comfortable in my own skin."
- Justine -
“The level of deep work we did was really heartening. It was confronting and challenging, but in the best way. Your session brought me into shadow work. Delving into the stories I was unconsciously holding on to. I had little understanding of this kind of work before attending, and you may still remember how I came with a lot of fear… not of what we would do, but of what life had already done to me. I’m so grateful I stepped in. You cared for it all with such kindness, guiding me to see everything from a different perspective.”
- Claudia -
Normally, I have a lot of resistance in my head, but once we were sitting with the cacao and you asked for my intentions, it felt like you connected me to something so calm. And then, from the moment we had Rapé, it was just quiet. My rational mind dissolved during the hours of your work. I was brimming with ideas, and suddenly I knew exactly which choices to make regarding the things I had been struggling with for a while. The extraordinary thing is how it all came together for me after a week or so—things are just changing around me magnificently. All thanks to you, I feel reborn!!!
- Emma -
"WOW! I am absolutely blown away by this awakening, and it’s going to take me at least a few days to let it settle in. I feel the blocks within me have moved; it feels like it has helped lift parts of my life. It brought me a calm that lasted for weeks and helped me enormously to understand my next steps more clearly. I would recommend your Kundali sessions to anyone longing for healing, growth, or simply a deeper connection to their inner self.”
- Abril -
Thank you gorgeous V!!! For an absolutely amazing evening. Your passion for this work is truly exceptional. You are such an inspirational woman and sooo loving and encouraging in every way. It was an experience beyond measure to feel and to heal through natural powers, and to witness the truly shifts in my feelings. I was a bit scared for the session with happe before the breathwork, but you made me feel so comforting. No idea that I would crack me open as bear haha but it left me so wise! Much love and gratitude x
-Kelila -
“I’m a Reiki teacher and I work in the same field, but my first Kundalini journey with Vee completely surprised me. I met her spontaneously in Bali, and she immediately made me curious about her work. The energy I experienced was so beautiful and unlike anything I’d felt before. It created a deep connection with myself, brought a sense of peace, and allowed a release I didn’t expect. I truly recommend her work! It felt ethereal to me!
- Mariem -
"Hi Vee, Nohemi here, full of love! I wanted to leave a message after our amazing ceremony. From the very beginning Veerle created an atmosphere that felt so warm and open. You can truly feel that she lives her work, and it touched and inspired us deeply. The awakaning affected us not only as a couple, but also in our own goals. You moved things within us, that shift our feelings and the way we communicate."
- Nohemi  & Will -
"You have no idea what you brought alive in me. I had no preconceptions about what to expect, but this was truly a revelation. From the moment I entered, an ineffable warmth of love washed over me. It’s fair to say I have never experienced anything like it before: deeply emotional, uplifting, and energizing. It truly felt like being taken on a journey through a realm I hadn’t known existed. Thank you for everything you’ve awakened!"
Siona
“First of all Vee is simply a joy to be around. Her intuition combined with her practices created a deep connection. It allowed me to go into something rare. We spent almost the whole morning, and the session really uplifted my whole situation. An experience I would recommend to everyone. Thanks for all the magic, you set me free!!”
- Reuben -
"Vee I love you!! You are an angel in human form, truly. Thank you for all the deep care and support throughout my journey. The integration we had meant so much to me. The combination of your approach with the plant medicine is truly remarkable. Will happily recommend you to my friend when they visit Tulum xx
- Anna -
“My girlfriend and I decided to have an experience with Kundalini during our holiday, and it turned out to be the most resonant one we’ve ever had;) It deepened our connection and offered greater clarity about our life stages. We feel it strengthened our perspective on the relationship. I firmly believe that everyone, whether single or not, should work with you. The way you arranged everything, with such warmth and intention, was deeply felt. You carry something special, and we will always be thankful for this incredible journey! For what you brought in, and took out hihi”
- Mason & Olya -
“Thank you soooo much for everything. I’m sooo grateful to meet you, and I must admit that I deeply admire every session we walk through together. You are a special being who awakens so much awareness within me.
-Yulia -
“All that’s left to say is I felt you are an integral person and a healer by nature, and I feel humbled by your loving energy. You let me break through and left me in peace. Thank you a thousand times.”
