Welcome! Nice to have you here!
I’m Margo Kapala, an online psychotherapist, philosopher and traveler through the fractal nature of human emotions and minds.
As a certified psychotherapist from Poland, I bring over 10 years of experience in mental health. Below you can find details about my professional experience and education.
My inner calling led me to Peru, where I discovered the profound potential of plant medicine.
I’m currently residing in Peru, continuing to expand my understanding of psychedelics, Amazonian shamanism, indigenous cosmology, music, ceremonial rituals, and other methods of working with sacred plants.
My mission is to merge this wisdom with a scientific approach, drawing from my practical knowledge, experience, and tools from clinical psychotherapy.
