    Literally translating to "earth to mama" from Heather’s Filipina roots, Lupasamama was created to ground women in their inherent beings and celebrate the nurturing essence of womanhood intertwined with nature. In this context, nature encompasses plant medicine, equine medicine, and earth medicine, emphasizing holistic approaches to wellness.

THE LUPASAMAMA METHOD

    PLANT MEDICINE

    Earth Medicines are an integral part of indigenous cultures, used for healing, spiritual guidance, and community celebration. Today, the exploration of plant-based medicines, such as entheogens, has gained attention for their potential to foster deep spiritual connections, transformative experiences, and healing in ways that traditional Western methods may not offer.

    EQUINE MEDICINE

    This innovative approach to promote emotional healing, personal growth, and connection to nature leverages the intuitive nature of horses to foster trust, empathy, and self-discovery, offering transformative experiences that traditional therapeutic methods may not fully provide. Through equine medicine, individuals can embark on a journey of healing that nurtures both the body and spirit.

    WELLNESS + SELF CARE

    At Morongo Valley Ranch, we believe in the transformative power of wellness and self-care. Our personal wellness retreats provide a serene escape where guests can rejuvenate their mind, body, and spirit. By spending time on our beautiful land and connecting with our animals, participants can experience the healing benefits of nature and animal-assisted therapy.

Through intuitive and spiritual guidance, a trained therapeutic framework, and deep respect for the origins and spirit of the medicine, Bree offers a held and intentional space for your journey. Each ceremony is approached with reverence, preparation, and care, supporting safety, trust, and meaningful exploration. Bree’s role is not to lead your experience, but to tend the container so your own inner wisdom can emerge, be witnessed, and be integrated.

We are excited to introduce holistic horse healing sessions with Lucy, our beloved mare who triumphed over a near-death experience in 2025. Her journey has deepened her intuition and connection to the healing energies that surround us. In these unique sessions, Heather will guide participants through a grounding meditation, complemented by reiki, chakra alignment and sound therapy, harnessing Lucy's powerful spirit and energy. This holistic approach not only fosters a profound bond between humans and horses but also facilitates emotional healing and self-discovery. Join us for this transformative experience, where the gentle presence of Lucy and the nurturing practices of holistic healing come together to create a sanctuary for rejuvenation and growth.

Following your horse ceremony as an add on option, Morgan Mellick, The Animal Alchemist, Master Animal Communicator and Certified Akashic Records Practitioner has curated the 1:1 Equine Communication Experience. There is an ancient wisdom that equines carry that speaks to our very souls. When we gather in communion, we see them as sentient beings who serve as powerful teachers, mirrors of our inner selves and emissaries of wisdom. Join Morgan as she guides you in a sacred experience of meeting your animal spirit guide, awakening to unconditional love, and connecting heart-to-heart with the equine herd through the facilities of intuition and telepathy. She serves as a conduit to deliver the sacred communication to you from an equine; offering the messages you need to hear; containing insights, reflections and guidance that resonates deeply with you personally.

The heard is waiting for you.

    Heather’s warmth and wisdom created a beautiful safe space for introspection and healing. Her presence feels deeply nurturing and she has an innate gift for helping you navigate the complexity this medicine. From the start, Heather created an environment where vulnerability felt not only accepted but embraced. She offered a space where I could authentically be myself. This freedom to express, explore, and confront the depths of my soul was transformative.

  • DEVIN

    Heather has a unique gift for blending ancient wisdom, deep intuition, and genuine empathy. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a guide for anyone seeking not just a journey, but a transformative and healing experience. Grateful for the profound impact she’s had on my life.

  • MARYROSE

    Lupasamama provided me with a safe and serene sanctuary where I was able to release and experience the deepest surrender to the true voice of my soul through sacred medicine. The serene and natural environment provided me with a nest like feeling where I was able to ride the waves of my subconscious mind. I was able to release my past traumas and become grounded in my true essence, Heather was a facilitator and gentle hand into a higher vibration.

    A true teacher of healing and a soul guiding me back to the truth of being human experiencing this wild ride we call life. After the journey she helped me to understand and guide me through my experience as well as providing me with tools to continue my path of self love, healing and manifesting. I can truly say that after our time I came out a stronger and more grounded me. I truly thank the creator for sacred medicine and for souls like Lupasamama who have a guiding light back home

  • Natalie

    My recent ceremony guided by Lupasamama was truly transformative. From the outset, the space she provided exuded trust and ease, creating a secure environment that allowed me to fully let go. Lupasamama struck a perfect balance, letting me navigate my personal journey with autonomy while offering subtle reminders of care and support.

    What set this experience apart was not just the ceremony itself but the thoughtful aftercare program Lupasamama provides. Her support extends beyond the event, offering loving suggestions and daily practices tailored to my unique journey. This post-ceremony guidance has been instrumental in continuing and deepening the insights gained during the experience, turning it into an ongoing, everyday practice.
