Claudia Cuentas
Claudia Cuentas is a Peruvian ceremonialist, artist, researcher, educator, and psychotherapist (LMFT), passionate about the Art of healing and the decolonization of health. She is the co-founder of Cora Center, ( a Licensed Psilocybin Service Center) and a certified Psilocybin facilitator living in Portland Oregon. She comes from an Aymara heritage and a strong lineage of artists, social activists and healers in her family.
Claudia is trained in many different modalities all in connection to trauma recovery, health equity and the arts. Her approach is a combination of 20 years of training in Western Healing modalities, and Indigenous Ways of knowing from the Andes and Jungle in South America. Some of her training includes Somatic Experiencing (SEP), Drama Therapy (CIIS), Expressive Arts Therapy (Tamalpa Institute), MDMA assisted Psychotherapy Training Program (MAPS) and Ketamine for trauma recovery (Polaris Insight Center). Claudia also has been ordained by her teachers in Ecuador and Peru, after extensive studies and preparations for almost two decades.
Her focus is on the intersectionality of generational and ancestral trauma, plant medicine science, eco-informed therapy, somatic/nervous system re-organization, Art as healing and indigenous knowledge. Claudia is also a recording musician and a singer songwriter.
Claudia joins us as guest facilitator for our Medicine Mandala Folk Medicine Apprenticeship, where she helps to ensure that our group of aspiring community folk medicine practitioners have a foundational understanding of the nervous system, a working vocabulary for discussing its role in our overall wellbeing, and what it means to be a trauma informed practitioner.
