Your Ayahuasca

Vine of the Soul Team

Bianca's Story

A pair of black quotation marks on a white background.

The decision to open an Ayahuasca Retreat Center was pretty much a consequence of my own healing journey. Before Vine of the Soul, I used to be a software consultant. I realized, that I would like to share with the world that living a fulfilled life, your life, not that of others, is possible. Letting go of the trauma of the past is possible. Living a life of magic is possible. Yes, life has its ups and downs, but how we deal with them, makes all the difference.


A thought that in the beginning seemed scary, turned into a most amazing reality. I would like my story to be an inspiration for everyone who is ready to go their own path. Not many people have the courage to walk this path.To those who did and still do have the courage to walk with me, I am very grateful. We are on a continuous path of self-development and learning, to be able to offer you the best support possible.


In the selection of my team, what I am looking for first and foremost is truth: walking the talk. None of us is perfect, we don't pretend to have every answer. But what pulls us together are values like kindness, honesty, integrity, compassion and an immense love for people. We are all on a path of growth, while at the same time acknowledging that we are enough and always have been.

I've always been interested in psychology, since I was a child.

    That didn't keep me from stepping into my mothers' footprints and getting a depression in my adult life. I also struggled with insomnia, psychosomatic backpain and felt miserable overall. I was very successful professionally as an IT consultant. but still very unhappy.


    As most of us, I took the beliefs that were imprinted on me as a child and continued to reaffirm them in my adult life. Beliefs like I'm not (good) enough, I can't do that, you need to work hard to earn love and money etc. There was a lot of self-sabotage and self-destructive behavior, like drinking, smoking and working too much.


    My very first Ayahuasca journey catapulted me out of my victimhood, into the understanding that I am the creator of my life. It was a hard pill to swallow, but as somebody said "I took the ball, ran with it and never stopped again". I continued my journey with magic truffles and mushrooms and other entheogenic medicine and worked through my childhood trauma with Rapid Transformational Therapy. In only a couple of months I came to the point, where I had no emotional attachment to the past anymore.


    When I started dismantling limiting believes, good things started flowing to me. Instead of working hard to make things happen, the right people and opportunities started showing up in my life. That doesn't mean there are no ups and downs, of course there are. But I'm confident I can handle them way better than I used to in the past.


    I use psychedelics, Rapid Transformational Therapy (hypnotherapy) and coaching to free others from their victimhood. Let me support you in your personal development and transformation journey!


    My wonderful team can help you open up the door to your own freedom and happiness! We show you the door, but you are the one who has to step through it.
