The power of plants to see us through the most challenging aspects of life

Plant Dietas are a magical portal that merge Human Spirit and Plant Spirit. It is a sacred union of coming together for healing, connection, love, and remembrance.

Each Plant and Fungi has its own unique essence which is expressed as its medicine. When we merge with its consciousness, a powerful unveiling happens and the invitation for healing is initiated. Allowing this emergence is like awakening into a magical garden of illumination.

WHAT IS A PLANT DIETA?

A Master Plant Diet or Dieta is an ancient tradition of Amazonian tribes created thousands of years ago. A ritual so that humans could more consciously connect with a plant's consciousness, spirit, and wisdom. It is a deeply profound and intimate experience that offers insights, self-discovery, and a sacred bond with the natural world.

A Dieta is like a marriage between a human and a plant spirit, held in a sacred container by the shaman (facilitator) allowing for deep healing and connection. It traditionally consists of a dietero (dieter) undertaking mental, physical, and spiritual purification along with a strict diet or fasting, isolation, and consuming the plant while the connection is made.

This sacred union and devoted space of connection is made in order for the plant to transmit guidance, sacred knowledge, and healing.

WHAT'S POSSIBLE

  • Confronting what you've been avoiding, without it feeling like confrontation

  • Finding your spine, your backbone, your power, and remembering it was always yours

  • Hearing the truth about yourself in a way that's clear instead of cruel

  • Feeling safe enough to use your voice, maybe for the first time in a long time

  • Grieving, healing, and reconnecting with people and parts of yourself you thought were gone

  • Getting so quiet you can finally hear what your body's been trying to tell you

  • Remembering that your nervous system can be tended to, not just survived

MY OWN INVITATION

a note from Kerry

When I dieted with Passionflower, she cracked something open I didn't know was closed. Working with her feels like the ground itself is slowly turning, like she's tending the soil of my nervous system by hand, persistent and gentle. She has this capacity to take the most uncomfortable, avoided parts of me and make them inviting. Seductive, even. Things I'd been dodging for years suddenly felt possible to actually look at. That which was confronting stopped being confronting.

This is the invitation I cannot refuse.

The transformation that stays with you long after..

Picture yourself two weeks from now. You're sitting somewhere quiet, and someone you love says something that used to send you spinning, and this time you notice it, feel where it wants to go in your body, and allow it move through instead of taking you down with it. That's new.

Somewhere in these two weeks, a pattern you've been living inside of your whole life, in love, in family, in the way you talk to yourself in the mirror, stops being a mystery. You don't just understand it intellectually. You feel it in your body, and something that's been looping on repeat finally has somewhere to go.

You come home to yourself. Not a version of you that needs someone else's permission to take up space, or someone else's presence to feel whole. Just you, actually here, actually enough.

And somewhere along the way, you find language for things you've carried for years without ever having the words. Sensations and knowings you couldn't explain to anyone because you didn't have the map for it yet. And now you do.

You feel held. By yourself, your plant, and the land underneath you, in a way you maybe forgot was even possible.

And here's the part that lasts the longest: this relationship doesn't end when the two weeks do. Your plant ally knows you now. And they are with you forever, accessible anytime you reach for them.

“He showed up as this ancient, rooted, silent masculine presence. The eldest of the eldest. He doesn't say much, he just opens his arms and shows me. I kept hitting this wall of ‘I am so tired of holding myself,' and he kept reflecting back that the power was already mine. That I did this."

THE ORIGIN OF MASTER PLANT DIETAS

Traditionally, a master plant dieta means retreating into the jungle or wilderness, alone, for at least a week, guided by a shaman. You eat almost nothing but bland, simple food, boiled yucca, quinoa, plain vegetables. No sex. No distractions. Just you, disconnected from the outside world, in total devotion to one plant.

THIS ISN'T THE JUNGLE.

AND THAT'S THE POINT.

You don't need to disappear into the Amazon to do this work. You don't need a shaman's hut, a machete, or a plane ticket.

What I offer is a modern, remote Master Plant Dieta, built from that same ancient lineage but held in your own home, on your own land, in your own rhythm. You'll dedicate 2 weeks to your plant, guided by me through calls and voice notes, while you create your own sacred container wherever you are.

Same devotion. Same medicine. Same portal. Just no jungle required.

(In-person dietas are also available through group retreats, ceremonies, or private retreats, if that calls to you instead.)

Rose is a truth teller. Sharp in a way that's somehow also soft, like she pierces you with so much love and compassion behind it that it doesn't land like other truths do, hard, sharp, tangled up in everything else. Hers is just clear.

I was sitting on the porch with her, telling her I'm afraid of being rejected. And she said, "you're afraid to see yourself." It was like a wave washed over me. I knew exactly what she meant. I'd been telling myself people would reject me for how certain things in my life look right now, using that fear as an excuse to stay closed off instead of putting myself out there. She wasn't buying it. The truth wasn't that I was afraid of rejection. It's that I didn't want to see myself, because some part of me had decided the way my life looks right now is wrong.

A DAY IN THE DIETA

Wondering what this actually looks like, day to day? Here's the vibe.

You wake up (early if you're feeling called to rise before the noise, or at your normal hour if that's not your thing) and you sit down with your plant. Before you do anything else, you breathe her in. You set your intention to feel her, to hear her, to join with her. Some mornings that's fifteen minutes. Some mornings it's an hour. There's no wrong way to do this.

You'll cook most of your own food, since the diet is bland and clean on purpose. Simple proteins, good greens, gluten free grains, no salt, no spice, no sugar. Sounds intense on paper. In practice it turns into a quiet ritual all its own. Cooking becomes part of the medicine.

You journal for the unfiltered mind chatter and for what's coming through from Spirit, almost like love letters to the plant. Either way, you're building this relationship on the page as much as you are in ceremony.

You stay away from the noise. Bars, crowds, doom-scrolling, heavy people, dark movies because your nervous system needs the space to actually hear what she's saying.

You close your day the way you opened it. Back in prayer. Back at your altar. Back in connection.

And through all of it, I'm with you. I'm holding space for you energetically every day. You can text or voice note me when something moves, shifts, or gets weird. You are never doing this alone.

“That dieta cracked open my whole relationship with men, with my dad, with chasing people who couldn't fully show up, hoping if I could just get one of them to finally choose me, I'd finally be healed. Mid-dieta, someone I was seeing told me he wasn't interested in me the way I was in him. I watched my own body respond immediately. It turned away, literally. My whole lower body shifted away from him as to say, “let’s go in this (other) direction”.

When I checked in later with my body, it said to me, “We do not spend energy where it isn’t reciprocated”. It’s been a year since my dieta with Tobacco and my relationship with my Dad has changed (and continues to change) and I’ve noticed I'm no longer attracted to the unavailable man."

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Apply. Your application helps you get clear on your own intention before we even begin, and it gives me real information to work with for your dieta, even if this is your fifth one with me. If we haven't worked together yet, this is also how I get acquainted with your energy before we ever get on a call.

  2. Secure your spot. Make your payment and it's off to the races. Well. Off to the jungle. The metaphorical, remote, no-passport-required jungle.

  3. Dieta Preparation Call (30 min). We talk through your intention, your plant, and what you're stepping into. I answer your questions and help you start tending to your field before your dieta begins.

  4. Opening Ceremony. I sing your plant into your field. From a state of meditation and connection, your portal opens.

  5. Two weeks with your plant. This is the heart of it. Your own dedicated dieta time, held at home, on your own land, in your own rhythm.

  6. Two to three calls during your dieta (30 min each). Check-ins with me while you're in it, to help you process what's moving.

  7. Ongoing text and voice note support. You are never doing this alone. I'm with you the whole way through.

  8. Closing Ceremony. A remote ceremony to close things out with your plant.

  9. Dieta Integration Call (30 min). We integrate what came through, together.

THE QUICK AND DIRTY

Your exact protocol depends on which plant calls you (we'll map that out together), but here's the gut-check version of what you're saying yes and no to.

Say yes to:

  • Simple, clean, home-cooked food

  • Journaling, meditating, moving your body

  • Early mornings and quiet nights

  • Getting weird and intimate with a plant

  • Feeling stuff you've been avoiding feeling

Say no to (for the two weeks):

  • Alcohol, caffeine, sugar, salt, spice

  • Sex, including solo

  • Bars, crowds, chaos, doom-scrolling

  • Dark media and heavy people

  • Multitasking your way through it

YOUR GUIDE

Kerry has communed with plants since childhood, growing up foraging for food. Her journey deepened in 2007 when she began attending Chinese Medicine school, where she developed a profound love for plants, particularly the passion flower vine (Passiflora). Over the years, as she worked with her patients, she allowed the wisdom and communication of the plants to speak through her, bringing their consciousness into her healing practice.

In 2019, during a month-long stay in Ireland, the Burren inspired her to start writing her own book on plant communication, capturing what the plants had to say independently of other sources. In 2023, she joined the community of Plant Medicine People, where she trained and learned to be a Master Plant Guide. Working with the consciousness of plants and nature, in connection with the sacred relationship humans have with them, is a deeply rooted soul purpose for Kerry.

“Plants are my life. Through relationship with them, they have illuminated my inner strength, helped me heal deep wounds, expanded my roots of connection, and brought me into deeper relationship with Self. Each of them, and some more than others, are my greatest allies.”

Kerry has worked with many plants over the past decades, and has a special relationship with Chamomile, Passionflower, Tobacco, Rose, Mushrooms, Plantain Leaf, Nettle, Cinnamon, Mullein, Peach, Oregano, Dandelion, and more…

“In my dieta with Passionflower, I dreamed of my grandmother. She's no longer in her body, and hasn't been for years. But in that dream she was so tangible, I could taste her, smell her, and even touch her. It was one of the most healing moments, and it happened because of this magical portal with a plant.”

PLANTS KERRY WORKS WITH

You don't need to walk in already knowing your plant. That's part of what the application and our prep call are for, and I can help you discern who's calling you. But if you're the type who likes to feel into it first, here's a bit about who's in my circle. (And if none of these are quite it, that's okay. I work with a whole circle of plant allies, and part of our process together is finding the one who's actually calling you.)

  • Wildly resilient in a body that looks delicate. Tall, wispy, dainty little flowers, and yet the storm rolls through and she’s still standing, petals intact. She gets stuck with this “sleepytime tea” reputation that barely scratches the surface of who she is. She’s gentle enough for children, elders, anyone, but that gentleness is not the same as small. Her message, over and over, is I’m okay, and everything is okay, and it goes so much deeper than the words themselves. She once told me, “I am safe because I use my voice,” and that’s her medicine in a single line: safety isn’t something you find by staying quiet, it’s something you find the moment you speak. Come to her when you’re ready to believe that true safety is actually freedom experienced through your voice.

  • An invitation you cannot refuse. She works like the ground itself, slowly turning, tending to what's uncomfortable in your nervous system by hand, gentle and patient. She has this rare capacity to make the things you've been avoiding feel inviting instead of threatening. Seductive, even. What was once confronting stops being confronting. Come to her when you're ready to finally tend to what you've been dodging.

  • A piercing truth teller, soft in her delivery but somehow it still lands like a blade, if a blade could be made of love. She doesn't do harsh. She doesn't do tangled. Her truth is just clear. Come to her when you're ready to stop lying to yourself about what you're really afraid of.

  • The eldest of the eldest. A rooted, silent, masculine presence who doesn't explain, he simply reveals. Work with him and expect to come face to face with your own spine, your own backbone, your own power. He has a way of handing you back the power you've been giving away, in relationships, in partnership, in every place you've been waiting for someone else to choose you first. Come to him when you're tired of holding yourself up and ready to find out what's actually holding you.

READY?

If you've read this far, some part of you already knows. If this is your yes, I'm honored to hold this space with you.

FAQs

  • Nope. Some women come to me having worked with plants for years, others have never dieted a single leaf in their life. Your application and our prep call are where we meet you exactly where you are.

  • You don't need to know before you apply. Some women feel called to a specific plant right away, others have no idea and just know something in them is ready. Either way, I help you discern who's actually calling you.

  • Yes, fully remote. You're doing your dieta at home, on your own land, in your own rhythm, while I hold the container with you through ceremony, calls, and ongoing voice note and text support. No jungle, no travel required.

  • You don't need to disappear off the grid. What you do need is the ability to simplify your food, your media, your evenings, and your energy for two weeks. Most women keep working and living their normal life, just with a lot more intention and a lot less noise.

  • Alcohol, sugar, salt, spice, sex (including solo), and generally anything loud, chaotic, or numbing. Your exact protocol depends on your plant, we'll map it out together on your prep call.

  • Yes. In-person dietas are available through group retreats, ceremonies, and private retreats. [Reach out] if that's calling you instead.

  • Sourcing matters. Not every environment, forager, or company is created equal, so be intentional about where yours comes from. You can forage your own (just be mindful of location and pollutants), reach out to Kerry directly (she may have it wild or garden grown from her own apothecary), order through Mountain Rose Herbs, or source from a trusted friend, Etsy shop, or other supplier you know and trust.

  • Payment confirms your registration and is non-refundable.

  • [Schedule a discovery call] with Kerry. No pressure, no sales pitch, just a conversation to see if this is actually the right container for you right now.
