"Ramanja is just amazing. So approachable and makes an instant connection. She definitely has magic.”

I am a healer, a medicine woman and a witch. I am here to activate Queen energy in other women and support you in your sovereign process.

My name is Ramanja but it used to be Jacs. I was a costume designer and stylist in Hackney with my own club night on the side. I was a wild party girl with several addictions sprinkled with low self esteem but everything looked shiny and successful on the outside. I managed to go on like that for a long time until I went through a bereavement 13 years ago and fell into a clinical depression. I tried lots of holistic therapies but it didn't work and I ended up on SSRI medication which also didn’t work - my mental health declined further. I began self harming, the meds went up until I reached an emergency point. My doctor said the next step would be for me to be admitted, he asked me to have a really good think about everything and come back to talk in a week.

That was the day I began kicking, something very old and strong started to whisper to me, a strength came from deep inside and I listened. I had followed all the holistic advice, been through various counselling methods and eventually followed my doctor’s advice for medication. I had done everything I was supposed to and now my mental health was in a far worse state than at the beginning of treatment.

I received a strong message that day - to find shamans and plant medicine. I had no idea how or who to go to but I trusted this deep knowing so much I came off all my medication. (Not easy but SSRI’s are lethal with some plants so that was a great incentive!) After much research I found the right shamans for me, went to the Sacred Valley and drank plant medicine for 10 days.

That was the end of my depression.

Since then I have been on a mega journey - it was never my intention to work as a healer or medicine woman, infact it was the last thing I ever wanted to do. I was frightened of the responsibility and I also knew that shaman training was pretty fucking tough with long periods of isolation in the jungle - absolutely no way, not for me, no thank you basically.

And yet here I am, first I had to go through my own gruelling healing process (or the first few layers) and then I began to train in energy healing, still I saw this as personal development and nothing to do with others. I carried on drinking medicine to deal with my own problems and gradually people started to ask me for healings. Then they began to ask me for moon ceremonies and at full moon I would often have a friend or two at my house with their friend from work who is ‘like you’. And so it grew and grew, suddenly I found myself in a design meeting at the BBC with my soul literally shouting at me. “You can’t do this anymore, you are a healer, you must work.” I was filled with dread and nerves, mostly because I knew I was going to do it and leave my successful career, studio, team, luxe lifestyle and all the stress and glamour behind.

I had drunk medicine for years with several shamans in Peru and had taken my first trip to the jungle under my belt, but this was different. I am very grateful for these early experiences but none were a teacher/student fit. Much to the shock and dismay of my family and some colleagues I sold all my possessions, packed a big rucksack and headed to the Amazon. One friend asked what on earth was I doing and how would I find my teacher in the jungle. I just smiled and reassured her the message was so strong I trusted it completely and would find them.

I found my teachers 12 days after I arrived in Peru. I have spent many winters in the jungle with them, a shipibo tribe who took my training and understanding to a whole new level. I am very grateful to the family for this time and these experiences. These teachers weaved the bridge for me to my specialist plant Bobinsana and the connection was made to my soul plant. My other specialists are Blue Lotus, Rose and Guayusa.

I became nomadic for 3/4 years with no permanent house - I would move around energetic centres from the Amazon to Glastonbury to Joshua Tree. Sometimes I would call my best friend from the jungle and tell her I was running out of money - she would soon rustle up a month of sewing or filming work for me and I would pop back to get funds. There are many friends and family members who made this nomadic time possible, without their kindness and hospitality I would never have been able to study and train.

I have now settled in Ibiza - what a ride! This island has incredible transformative energy, since moving here I have connected to my Sirian family, Isis, Mary Magdelene and am able to sing and speak light language. I work here holding ceremonies for healing and for celebration. I have specialised in Queen energy and my soul purpose is to activate this in other women.

I work 1-1, teach courses online, hold both public and private medicine ceremonies and share my story of transformation to help others. I love to collaborate - in Ibiza I work with the witch Katriona and in the UK/Ibiza private events curated by Mamma Wellbeing.

I really do love to work with Queen activations and sovereign process but my other love is to introduce those who are new to healing and the plants and take great care of them. Healing is for everybody and I am here to help you help yourself.

Love from Ramanja
