Master Shaman Asencia Sánchez Canayo    

Shipibo name: Wasan Yaka, bird of fire

​

Born in the native community of Puerto Nuevo, within the Shipibo-Conibo ethnic group, in the Amazon region of Ucayali in Peru.

 

He has more than 30 years of experience performing Ayahuasca ceremonies. Her parents and grandparents were healers and from a very early age, they lovingly transmitted the ancient knowledge about medicinal plants to be a Shaman, "like the original ones, like the ones from before." She has the ability to immerse us in the spiritual world, with diets and Ayahuasca ceremonies.

​

Doña Asencia works with various healing methods, both physically and spiritually, to heal the people present at the ceremony. When the Master's Icaros (chants) enter the sick person, they clean everything that should not be in their physical or mental body. According to the diagnosis that the patient has, the Master will sing an individualized Icaro to heal him/her.

 

The patient identifies with a song, which will always vibrate in his heart.

Singing is always connecting with the world that we do not see, but we can feel with our hearts. The Master always maintains a connection with nature, with that world that we cannot see, through her songs. 

​

Doña Asencia conducts the Ayahuasca ceremonies together with her sons Wilmer and Santos at the Wasan yaka Healing Center, where you can have a wonderful initiation into the world of Shipibo-Conibo culture, where it comes from, where it belongs.
