Carolina Forero - Therapist and Integration guide
Professional Background
Carolina maintains a private practice as a therapist in Bogotá, accompanying people who use plant medicines and expanded states of consciousness as part of their healing process. Her specializations let her support the full arc of the experience — preparation, ceremony, and integration.
Her work ranges from a single intervention after an overwhelming experience, helping someone close a loop that's opened, to longer processes helping a person weave the insights into daily life.
Her Journey with Ayahuasca
Carolina has worked with ayahuasca for over 12 years, guided by the same indigenous family that Harmonica works with. That continuity matters: she has sat with the medicine through many seasons of her own life, and it has supported her through her own healing journey.
This is part of what sets her apart — she isn't only supporting participants in a therapeutical capacity, but from lived experience with the plant herself.
Her Role at Harmonica
Carolina joins Harmonica as a facilitator once a month, present during retreats to accompany participants with her experience and care.
She also contributes to the Harmonica blog, bringing a therapist's perspective to plant medicine topics.
Beyond the one retreat she attends monthly, Carolina is on call for the others — available if a participant needs a therapeutic perspective. Additionally afterwards in rare cases of emotional breakdown.
Start your healing journey the right way—with clarity and support from the very first moment. At Harmonica, our upcoming ayahuasca ceremonies provide authentic transformation in an intimate, 5-star-rated setting.
