“Renewal. Healing old wounds/anxieties, greater sense of day-to-day peace.”
“I was tired of wrestling with old demons and felt out of touch with my true self. I wanted something to challenge old habits, someone to help clear the path. Through a mutual friend, I found Paqo, set up a call, and was immediately impressed with his program. How his process cared for the mind, body, and soul - through real support + medicine.
Unlike my experiences with ‘typical’ therapy, which often felt aimless and cyclical, he’s more of a coach who puts you on a program to get you to where you want to be. I loved the focused, intentional, weekly modules and how they gave me something to reflect on each week. I loved our weekly calls, where he would gently help to reflect and unpack, uncover truths and misguided personal beliefs, and call out insights instead of waiting for me to possibly discover them myself.
The program was like clearing off the dust, wiping off the mirk, that accumulates throughout a life. Having done the work, I feel more aware, clearer, renewed. Operating once again on a higher plane, at a higher frequency, with greater intention and purpose.
Give yourself this gift, do the work, trust the process.”

“Quitting vaping with such ease alone was worth it, in addition to all the other things that have shifted in my life.”
“Paqo is an inspiring and grounded coach that truly altered my life in a matter of 12 weeks. His calm and welcoming manner made it really easy for me to open up and be able to really work thru many things that had troubled my thoughts and actions for years. As well as shed a light on the many blessings I already have in my life. He also left me with some amazing tools to use for years to come. Thank you Paqo for making me the man I am today.”

“Brain freedom!!! I can design my life how I want and need it to be, and then take action to make it happen. I am totally connected on a daily basis to the Universe to honor the seasons of life, where I'm at, where I'm going, and what I need.”
Like many women in my generation, I have struggled with body dysmorphia, eating disorder behaviors, over-exercising, anxiety, panic attacks and low self-esteem for years. I have tried multiple forms of therapy, yoga, food tracking, meditation, deep breathing, mindset work, CBD, clean eating, and countless other things to help with these issues. While I was able to get some clarity on the cause as well as disrupt the cycle of the behaviors, nothing helped me completely remove these wirings from my brain and I could never break free of the most damaging self talk caused by these brain patterns.
After having a relapse of behaviors and then witnessing an 80 year old woman nearly faint repeatedly at the gym while working with her trainer due to the fact that she hadn't eaten in 24 hours because she didn't want to get fat, I knew I didn't want that to be my future.
I spent a lot of time researching, mostly findings things I'd already tried, until I found an article about ‘sacred medicine’ and eating disorders. There wasn't a lot of info available, clinical trials and studies were dependent on the legality of the ‘sacred medicine’ and whether or not the researchers could utilize it. However, what was available showed promising results. I had already been reading a lot about ‘sacred medicine’ and treating brain injuries due to my work with athletes, so was familiar with the positive results in that arena, particularly with the "rewiring" of the brain.
Paqo, a trusted colleague, had recently moved into working with sacred medicine and I very hopefully/timidly enrolled in his 12-week program. The program was a high ticket item for me and that first hurdle of "I am worth the cost of this course" set the tone for the next 12 weeks.
Within 3 days of taking sacred medicine, my brain was clear of all of those negative ugly thoughts that drove the disordered behaviors. They were just gone. Like gone, gone! Eating a treat for the first time in decades without any shame, guilt or fear was like a fucking miracle. I honestly got my money's worth those first three days with that freedom from the negative thought spirals. Once my brain was clear of those thoughts, I was able to really dig in to each module, accessing deep parts of myself that needed to be healed, seen, recognized or released. I was able to enter into previously high trigger situations and just notice what was going on without being triggered or spiraling. In fact, I was able to heal from those old wounds and triggers.
Throughout the program, there were multiple times where I could literally see my brain, rewiring and building new neural pathways, in my mind's eye. It was like wires were being unplugged from one outlet and plugged into another one.
If a rare negative thought popped up, my brain took a new path of recognizing the thought, stopping the thought spiral and then gently assessing the validity of that thought. It was absolutely amazing!
After 12 weeks, I am the calmest I have ever been. The anxiety and panic attacks seem like something that belonged to someone else. The disordered eating behaviors and over exercising are things that I can look at with compassion and empathy rather than deep soul crushing shame.
I've been able to help my parents with major projects and have been able to face some major life changing decisions with a calm gentle clarity and compassion for self that just never existed before. I've also just logged the three highest earning months in my business since I opened shop.
Completing the 12 week program with Paqo was an incredible experience. He provides a safe space to take action, every week, in a way that really helps you grow with purpose. The entire program is intentional and action oriented. From journal prompts to bonus missions, you are actively partnered with Paqo in a healing journey.
This is definitely a great program for folks who are ready to dig in, do the work and see the results manifest like magic.”

"An elevated confidence and optimism I haven't had in years."
“I embarked on this program to work through a depression that occurred because I was unaligned with my intentions, stuck in outdated habits and consequently suffering from physical inflammation as a result. I was excited about the prospects of microdosing, but learned this program is so much more than that. Paqo's masterful sequencing of modules provided me with the right learning at the right time, with each week building from the preceding one. Over the course of three months, his encouragement, support and guidance helped me define my intentions while building an achievable foundation to support them through weekly workbooks. These exercises served to provide a path that Paqo guided me through, but were ultimately conceived and defined by me. Through introspection, reflection and ultimately action, I was empowered to embody the change I sought without waiting for it to come to me. The end result is an elevated confidence and optimism I haven't had in years. Further, I am learning to achieve the effects of microdosing, naturally. Finally, my inflammation levels are at their lowest levels in months, in large part because of the work done in this program. I cannot recommend Paqo enough. I have no doubt, the lessons learned will propel me to do better and become the leader I always wanted to be.”
