Herminio was born into a family of Ayahuasca Shamans in the Shipibo village of San Francisco de Yarinacocha, a short drive from Pucallpa. His older brother, Maestro Misael, is his best friend and one of his role models. Growing up immersed in the world of Ayahuasca, Herminio observed his parents and the men and women of his extended family always working in healing ceremonies and guiding plant dietas. At the age of 16, his curiosity to learn more about this path inspired him to open his first plant dieta under the tutelage of Maestra Justina, and has been learning and dieting with different master plants ever since. His first long diet was an 8-month stint where he worked with chaikuni rimu ininti also known as jungle lemongrass, the master plant of the Chaikunis.
Maestro Herminio is a healer of extraordinary talent and with a really sweet personal nature. His icaros can bring a sensation of pure happiness into your heart, and his dedication and empathy make you feel safe and allow you to easily open to receive his healing. He has an exceptional knowledge of plants and plant dieta healing.
