ONAYA EXPERT GUIDES
What sets Onaya expert guides apart?
-
Onaya expert guides are uniquely trained in both Western and spiritual practices to the highest standards - often having doctoral level qualifications and/or extended apprenticeships training under Shamanic elders or Buddhist masters.
-
We partner with expert guides who align with our ethical principles and are fully committed to exceptional standards of care.
Our practitioners have worked closely with the Onaya founders for several years at a minimum and have been personally invited to become an Onaya guide based on their skills, experience, and integrity. They are individuals deeply committed to honing their craft and supporting others.
-
Our expert guides have all undergone their own journey of self-development and are committed to continued personal growth and living an examined, meaningful life. Many have undergone years of personal therapy, healing ceremonies, and master plant dietas.
-
In our expert guides we look for people who are centered, humble, professional, and deeply kind.
