Erik has been interested in the human psyche and expanded consciousness ever since he was young. After Highschool he studied pedagogy and eventually psychology at the University of Tilburg. After three years of study he was so disillusioned with the curriculum that he decided to drop out and look for a job in the care sector. For ten years he worked with mentally handicapped people and then made the switch to working with young people with autism and behavioural issues. Erik started on his path with Ayahuasca and other plant medicines in 2015 when he first drank Ayahuasca in the jungle of Peru where he received a very strong calling to work with this beautiful plant medicine. After returning to the Netherlands he enrolled in the course Ayahuasquero and Process therapist, given by a well-known Dutch hypnotherapist who has been working with ayahuasca in his practice for over 20 years. The course, mainly revolving around trauma release and therapeutic skills, turned out to be a very good preparation for guiding other people through their ceremonies and processes. That same year Erik had the opportunity to help with creating a new Ayahuasca centre in Pucallpa, Peru. For the following 3,5 years he was managing this centre, hosting and facilitating the retreats. During that time Erik started studying Ayahuasca and dieted different plants with one of the Shipibo maestro’s in the centre. After working a lot on his own healing Erik has now found his calling of being in service to others who want to experience the magic of Ayahuasca. In the beginning of 2019 Erik successfully completed an IAKP course and became a certified Kambo practitioner. He is now also offering Kambo treatments for Mother's house.
