Beyond the Ceremony: The Real Work of Plant Medicine Healing with Kat Courtney

In this episode of Light Body Radio, Dr. Lara May sits down with a traditionally trained Ayahuasquera and plant medicine practitioner with more than two decades of experience helping people navigate profound healing and transformation. Together, they explore the deeper purpose of plant medicine beyond the ceremony itself—how these sacred medicines can support nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and healing from trauma. This conversation sheds light on the intersection of biology, spirituality, and personal growth, revealing why true healing isn't about escaping discomfort but learning how to move through it. Whether you're curious about Ayahuasca, plant medicine, or the science behind trauma healing, this episode offers a thoughtful and grounded perspective on what it means to reconnect with yourself and reclaim your wellbeing. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026.
