“I had the great honor and privilege of attending ETÈREO’s El Inicio retreat, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. Paije and Fletcher move through their work with such grace, and curated every single detail with so much love, care, and intention. They created a warm, intimate container for all, making it effortless to establish authentic and meaningful connections with the other guests and practitioners, while providing ample opportunities for personal reflection and processing.
The retreat venue was absolutely stunning with lovely private casitas overlooking crystal views of desert and ocean. The beautiful meals prepared by Chef Paul Barbosa were, nourishing, grounding, creative and delicious. Supportive, yoga, breath work, and workshop offerings were also included, and synchronized so perfectly with the schedule of events.
I’m forever mesmerized by the beauty and magic of the raw Baja desert where the land ceremony took place, and am humbled to have participated in such a powerfully immersive healing experience while being held in nature. My personal medicine journey with 5-MeO-DMT was pure transcendence, and while I’m still processing this sacred gift, I’m actively witnessing transformational shifts in perspective that are integrating into my daily life.
I hold the whole retreat experience in my heart with the deepest gratitude and reverence, and am forever changed. I felt so seen, connected, and supported through each moment, and am so grateful to Paije, Fletcher, and co-facilitators, Ixchel and Trisha for holding space for me in such a knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate manner. Paije and Fletcher’s devotion to healing and transformation is truly inspiring, and I highly encourage anyone who feels called to work with psychedelic medicine to seek out their beautiful offerings.”

“My husband and I attended a five day retreat hosted by Paije and Fletcher in Todos Santos in January 2023
Seven years earlier I had been given a stage four cancer diagnosis. This provoked me to start a spiritual journey, and I believed I had healed. Now, my marriage was in shambles, I was betrayed, shocked and in alarm. Our relationship was hanging together by the finest thread.
I had no expectations of the plant medicine, except that I hoped to be given something, anything, to help me make sense of and navigate the seemingly constant drama and crisis in my life.
I am uncomfortable (terrified!) consuming any mind-altering substances, and I take very seriously the power and potential of plant medicine. Paije and Fletcher created a safe and sacred space for our group, and guided us beautifully into the ceremonies. They held the space for us throughout the five days.
My experience was incredibly difficult, and at times beautiful. It was insightful, powerful, terrifying, glorious and profound. It is not hyperbole to say I am changed deeply and permanently by those 5 days. I am so very grateful that I was brave enough to trust and to surrender to the power of these sacred medicines.
I have experienced on-going downloads of information from the ceremonies. When this happens I feel wisdom being shared with me, not at an intellectual level, rather in my very being; in every cell in my body, I. I have a template for this ’Truth’ and on any given day, when I remember to pause, I can remember what it feels like to be awake, connected, conscious and kind. To be love.”
—SALLY, 2023
“This was the most amazing experience I have ever experienced. Fletcher and Paije are very compassionate, well experienced and knowledgeable. I felt safe and will never forget the compassion, love and genuine way they care. I thank you both for breaking open my prison of pain, and allowing me to just BE. I love you both. MUCHO MUCHO!!”
—WENDY, 2023
“I cannot say enough about Paije…
She is a vibe all on her own. A breath of fresh air. The perfect combination of gypsy, hippie, Jcrew, Earth-Sage Goddess with a natural raw beauty that leaves a sparkle in your eyes. Has a voice so soothing and gentle, and thee warmest heart. Oh and that sweet sweet soul… I cannot imagine going on my soul journey(s) with anyone else. I trust her implicitly and without hesitation.
She is a natural and gifted teacher and nurturer. I felt so safe and cared for like never before. It’s truly amazing to watch her work. You can see how deeply she cares for every single person she works with. And the space she holds generates so much love. If you ever have the opportunity to work with this earth angel, do it. It’ll change your life. She saved mine.”
—DANNI, 2022
“After years of therapy, yoga, journaling and various other healing modalities, I found Third Eye Doula and in less than an hour I uncovered and began to resolve a deep seated issue that has colored my entire life. The Bufo journey was powerful, facilitated with the utmost care and their family integration process helped tie the entire experience together. I am forever changed (for the better), because of this experience and deeply grateful to Paije and Fletcher for sharing their gifts with me. I highly recommend them to support you on your healing journey.”
—DANIEL, 2022
“My post-ibogaine aftercare experience with Paije couldn’t have been more positive –– she played a key role in my post-ibogaine integration and, by extension, my recovery from drug addiction. Without her support, I am certain the outcome of my treatment would have been very different. While I was initially tredpidatious about the time/money investment of a journey to Todos Santos, the journey to meet her was ultimately well worth the travel. The breathwork, massage, supplemental plant medicine, and enchanted beach walks and hikes to seaside caves were TRANSCENDENTAL. Paije is truly living out her calling and I am so fortunate to have crossed her path for long enough to benefit from her profound gifts. I convinced a skeptical friend to come along with me, by the way, and she left equally effusive about her experience. The services of Third Eye Doula have my –– our –– whole-hearted endorsement.”
—EMILY, 2022
“It’s amazing to meet someone like Paije, who is so authentic and radiates this internal beauty that is both soothing and inspirational. Paije was such an integral component of my journey, that I can’t imagine the experience without her. As this was my first journey, I depended on her knowledge and expertise for everything and she did not disappoint at any step of the process. She helped me to select a journey that was PERFECT based on what I was looking to get out of it. My jitters/reservations about going through it evaporated as we began the journey with a beautiful meditation and reading that got me ready to welcome it with open arms. The beginning of my journey was overwhelming, but Paije was right there to help me through it and her energy was just incredible. I am certain that I would not have had the great experience I did without her, and I got so much more out of it than I would have under any other circumstance. I think that Paije’s approach, which is centered on a broader healing journey that integrates your realizations/findings afterwards rather than just the experience, is the healthiest way to do this and I really appreciate her efforts to follow up with integration calls afterwards. I would recommend Paije in a heartbeat to anyone that is inexperienced with journeys like this but is curious and passionate about exploring them. She was the best person to introduce me to this world and I am eternally grateful to her.”
—OLIVER, 2022
“I first met Paije at her Todos Santos retreat in October 2021. I had been dealing with depression, and wanted to explore avenues outside of anti-depressants to address my mental health. I was completely new to the concept of mushrooms as medicine, but in our initial call, I could tell she would provide a level of expertise, comfort and relatability necessary for me to feel open to the experience. The retreat could not have been more fulfilling. I went in without expectation, but somehow it was exceeded. The four-day itinerary moved at a perfect pace, easing in and building on various medicines, and allowing for both personal, reflective time and connection with the other participants, who quickly became family. The staff Paije chose also speaks to her ability to curate the perfect environment for this kind of work. I made a connection with each one, and never felt alone in the moments I really needed support as I processed every feeling that arose. Coming home from the retreat, I felt that I had turned a corner in my approach to depression, and have continued to work with Paije since then, using a custom plan tailored to my needs. Her work is so important, and she’s providing it on such a high quality level. I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Paije, and plan on working with her long-term. ”
—NICKY, 2022
“ I approached this retreat with a lot of skepticism, since it was my first time ever participating in this sort of activity. Simply put, Paije and her team blew my mind and made me feel cared and being taken for like I’ve felt very rarely in my life. The amount and level of attention to every single detail, the incredible caring and kindness from everybody and the sense of safety and peace that I’ve experienced are something that I would have never hoped for priorly.
From the choice of the (amazing) location to the organization of the daily activities and the thoughtfulness behind every single aspect of them, the whole weekend has been a dream. Without Paije’s (but really the whole team’s) care I would have never had such an incredible journey with the medicines, so I’m extremely grateful to them for allowing my first journey experience to be so pristine and impeccable and unforgettable (only in good ways, clearly). Thank you and looking forward to next journey adventure already!”
—PAOLO, 2021
“I very recently had the honor of attending a retreat held and facilitated by Paije. I have been sitting here trying to find the words to best describe my experience and what has come to me is “LIFE CHANGING”.
Being diagnosed with chronic and complex PTSD, I have struggled with my mental health for some time. Going to this retreat with the intention of healing, I feel as though that is exactly what I received, HEALING. Not to say that I am complete in that journey, as healing is a practice.
Since my experience, I have not had any anxiety or triggers, which seemed impossible. I struggled very badly with these two things controlling my life and now find myself without. On top of this, I for the first time in my life have love for self.
“I am so full of gratitude! Working with Paije has been profound to say the least. In my experience I do not think I could have felt more safe and supported in an experience like this one. Nor do I feel as though there could have been a better experience all together than the one that Paije ultimately created. I am forever with gratitude!”
—AMANDA, 2021
“Wow. Where do I begin? Paije and her team created such an incredible, safe and nurturing container for the weekend retreat. It was obvious how much thought and care went into every detail. Every day was the right balance of structure with embodied activities as well as down time to integrate and rest. The impact of this retreat has been reverberating throughout my life and I keep receiving the continued wisdom of the medicine. Paije seems to be truly living out her divine calling with this work and it is felt in her reverence and honoring of the container. I'm so grateful the universe brought her into my life. I'll forever remember this experience as one of a kind.
“Paije and Maria are grounding and radically accepting forces of nature. Gentle in their approach, but firm and clear in their knowledge, they are the guides anyone would be lucky to encounter.
—JASMINE, 2020
I am inquisitive by nature and whenever I am entering a new experience I have at least a million questions - from the science-based, “what’s the chemical reaction going on here” to the history, all the way to the “how will my spirit handle this” - Paije and Maria were able to answer all of my questions from a nonjudgmental space which created the most perfect container for exploration.
The setting was beautiful, the team remarkable and the way in which the retreat called forth everyone’s highest self was wonderful mastery. By the final day I had made life long connections, felt incredibly open, strong and worthy and I exited the space with a clarity I had only dreamed to achieve.
In a world of new age spiritualism and everyone claiming to be an expert, working with Paije and Maria is a breath of fresh air. They each have life experience that far surpasses their age and it’s clear they have a divine calling for the work. I felt held and supported and accepted and safe and that’s all one can ask for as we journey through this life.”
—JORDAN C. , 2020
“I was privileged enough to join Paije and an amazing group of women for a retreat in Joshua Tree. I have never felt more safe, surrounded by so much light and love- it was the most perfect setting for healing to take place. Every single part of it was truly remarkable and I am forever changed. I am so hopeful and excited to continue my spiritual journey with Paije’s guidance.”
—JORDAN J., 2020
“Paije is truly a magical and gentle goddess, who held space for me in the most beautiful way... I am still smiling and cannot wait to continue my work with Paije. She has the most unbelievable way of making you feel safe, understood and open to whatever is supposed to transpire! I feel extremely blessed she was guided into my life! I see you, I hear you and I am here for YOU!! Always xxx”
—JENNIFER, 2020
“Paije is a being of light - surrounded by perfect love, wisdom and trust. I was fortunate enough to join one of Paije’s retreats in Joshua Tree, and the experience of those two days was both profound and life-changing - it will stay with me and my wife forever. Most of all we felt safe. And we also saw a snake - just like the one in her logo. That’s the universe talking to us right there! Paije is a gift and a blessing to those who cross her path.”
—RICHARD, 2020
“I truly believe that people come into your life at the moment you need their magic. It is just up to us to see it. After an emotionally and mentally trying year, I finally reached out to Paije after following her on Instagram for some time, hoping she was still doing readings while waiting for baby. To my luck she was. I am a smart, emotional, driven, stubborn woman and sometimes I can be so dead set on the outcome that I ignore everything else on the way. The first reading I received from her hit so many points, rang so many bells and removed my blinders in a lot of ways. There is a way that she explains things that allows me to hear what she is saying deeply. I have had two additional readings since then and each one is magical in its own way. When I am in pain or discomfort, I know there are things I am missing. She does a magnificent job of combining tarot and astrology to gently point me on my way. I look forward to applying her wisdom as I am on this uncharted path.”
—ANDREA, 2019
“Knowing this rite of passage had been calling to me for years, I surrendered to waiting for the right wise medicine woman to be shown to me. I entered into ceremony with intentions of releasing deep PTSD & expanding my heart to come back to my true self. When Paije welcomed us into her home I knew spirit had led us to the right place. Never experiencing plant medicine before, I immediately felt that she was capable of guiding me through what my journey needed to be. My journey was not pretty, there were moments of feeling out of control, but I quickly realized those were the things inside of me I was ready to let go and release. She held sacred space and directed me back to myself. When I finally let go... my re-birth was pure bliss. I have never been more aligned with my dharma and self since my journey. I am so grateful for Paije, her wisdom and our sisterhood that took place that sacred day. I would recommend her to anyone.”
—LINDSEY M., 2019
“I recently had Paije do my natal chart and at the time time I thought it would just be something fun to have but was skeptical about getting any deep insight into myself. When I listened to her breaking down my chart and explaining everything I was blow away. I cried I gasped I laughed and by the time she finished I felt like she knew me better than I knew myself (I know that sounds so cheese ball but it’s true!) I’m naturally super skeptical but Iv gained so much insight and a genuine spark for astrology from Paije!”
—LINDSAY V., 2018
“I am reluctant to admit needing spiritual guidance or acknowledging others ability to help me walk my path. It is, however, undeniable that Paije holds space in perfect love and perfect trust. Absolutely nothing less. Paije lets you feel your elation in your own power, she holds you (in whatever fashion that takes) when you’re working through and is simply there in any way that you need her during your periods of processing. From meditative preparation and setting of intention to awakening to what is truly there, Paije curates a strong space filled with love and implicit understanding. I look very forward to more ceremonial work with Paije and diving into a personal integration plan with her guidance and expertise. Now more than ever we need to be self healing and working to rediscover the love inside of us. This world can be a much better and more cohesive environment if more people were able to hold such a role as Transformational Doula. Working in ceremonial space with Paije is truly a deep and profound experience that I highly recommend.”
—SHAKORA, 2018
“The decision to invest in one’s self is essential. When I chose the path of a spiritual journey, Paije was highly recommend to me. Paije was able to clearly explain to me exactly what work I would be doing. And during my experience she bravely held space for me while respecting any boundary I may have needed. Therefore I was able to go deep inside myself and see my light shining so bright. A part of me has awakened for ever, and I am never turning back. I can enjoy this gift for the rest of my life. I will definitely be seeing Paije again and I will confidently refer any of my loved ones to her.”
—ANNIE, 2018
“My experience with Paije and Fletcher is one that I will cherish forever. During our ceremony, their combined energy brought me so much comfort. Paije’s female energy and voice were tender and guiding, while Fletcher’s male energy was safe and grounding. Together they led me through such a beautiful and healing experience. They are knowledgeable, professional, and allow for complete openness. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you Paije and Fletcher! I look forward to learning and trying more of the services you offer in the future. So much love!”
—GRACIELA, 2018
“If you’re lucky enough to meet Paije and experience her offerings you’ll be blown away by the knowledge you’ll take from your experience. Yes, she is a great guide but she’s also good at knowing when to let you dive into yourself without interrupting the process. She truly loves her work and when she makes space for you she is truly there. I’m a skeptic when it comes to nearly everything and with Paije I feel at ease and truly enlightened. She puts her everything into her offerings and provides the most sacred and welcoming space.”
—AMANDA, 2018
“I had the opportunity, offered to me by Paije and Fletcher, to participate in my own private ceremony designed just for me. It was a true blessing. I was able to let go, trust and allow Paije and Fletcher guide me through my journey, to hold space, without any expectations or judgement. My experience was up to me. I learned so much from both Paije and Fletcher. They are guided by their own wisdom and want to share the gift with others. A true gift it is.”
—ELIZABETH, 2018
“Words cannot describe the gratitude I feel for Paije and Fletcher and their impeccable guidance during my first ever private medicine ceremony. Their professionalism and compassion made me feel instantly safe. Upon my arrival I was greeted by the other seekers participating in the ceremony and we connected as if I had known them my entire life. Once my ceremony began I felt completely at peace and ready to receive. The ambiance was perfection - music, sage, mediation - I melted away. When I came back to earth the first thing I saw was Paije, she was the most beautiful thing my eyes have ever seen. Her nurturing smile and nod was one of such understanding, like she knew exactly where I had been. Never in my life have I experienced such an incredible feeling of surrender followed by so many gifts in the form of love and warmth. I love you both and I know i have been thanking you ad nauseam but it’ll never be enough. ”
—ALISHA, 2018
“Paije is truly a gentle presence. I felt an ease and openness in the space she created during our reading. She is not only a skilled listener, but also offers thoughtful insight to the human experience. A spiritual seeker, she serves as a fresh reminder that personal transformation is within our power. Paije is gifted in giving others permission to sit in their truth. Thank you, Paije.”
—BALI, 2017
“Going in to the epic journey that was my labor, I was very afraid. My whole pregnancy I wanted to be calm, cool and collected; I just wasn’t that mom-to-be. Most things made me nervous and I had a lot of self doubt. At every turn, Paije was there to ease my worry. She was a large part of my strength and backbone through out my pregnancy, even when she didn’t know it. I turned to her for her own personal experience as a mom, as well as her knowledge in the birth field. She stood by me for the entire 30 hours of labor and the exhausting 3.5 hours of pushing, carrying me both emotionally and physically. She’s very in tune and tapped in; she often knew exactly what I needed before I did, but always let me lead. During the most intense moments, she was the guiding voice letting me know I could get through it. When words weren’t enough, she gave me physical support. At times she applied all of her body weight against my spine for minutes at a time, because it eased some of the back labor pain I experienced due to my son’s posterior position. Most importantly, Paije made me feel safe and supported. Her energy was exactly what I needed to ease me through the most difficult parts of labor and the postpartum period. I love her so much, and I’m so thankful I had her with me for the birth of my son.”
—ALEXANDRIA, 2015
“Paije West is a remarkable woman. As an individual who has experienced many different styles of readings with many others, I can comfortably say I’ve never felt such ease and relaxation from a reading as I did with Paije. Her intuition is beyond what I’ve experienced in connectivity before. She gave clear statements and interpretations that grounded me. While I typically look to the tarot for relaxation Paije made my experience therapeutic. I feel as though her energy and intention in her line of work shine brightly. She was informative and up lifting. I find myself recalling her advice frequently and highly recommend her to anyone searching for a deeper connection with themselves.”
—ELISE, 2017
“There is a lot to be said about this magical lady Paije West. This woman is an actual empath, spiritual guide, doula and most of all a genuine friend to anyone she meets. She treats each person with a curiosity and drive to understanding their past, present, and possible future experience as if it were her own. You can feel her excitement and dedication to this process. Paije does this merely by being herself, but in the last few years has truly implemented her gifts into something that has deeply helped people around her. One of her strongest gifts is channeled through tarot reading. As open and spiritual as I am, I am also a skeptic and had never actually put too much faith into these types of tools, viewing them as more of an interesting hobby. After meeting Paije and having my first reading with her, my heart was split in two; in the best way! She had me tearing up and gently, intuitively broke down my walls through just pulling cards and guiding me through their meanings. She has such an intrinsic way of delivering information to the person, as if it is just a message from the universe and she is solely the oracle messenger. Paije does this with out prying or forcing the client to share more than they are comfortable with. The cards are like friends to her, each one holds a value wether its positively speaking or something to ponder on. She also holds an authentic respect for her higher powers and waters her own spiritual garden, pulls cards everyday for personal exploration, which to me really shows by how right on and fruitful her tarot readings are. If you have the pleasure of sitting down with this guru, I can guarantee you wont regret it.”
—KENDALL, 2016
“Paije is amazingly in tune. The cards are the cards, but her intuitive gifts help her to connect their meaning to your situation. She is compassionate and loving in a way that can only come from many lifetimes of giving to others. Thank you Paije for helping me confirm and validate what I need to, to move forward in my life. ”
—TRISH, 2016
“In my time with Paije, I have come to regard her as a close friend, but also as resource. She is ripe with positive energy, which stems deep from within her mind, traverses through her soul, and flows out through her heart. Paije is effortless in directing this vital energy towards whatever stands in her path. Whether it be her serious dedication to refining her craft, or light heartedly celebrating life’s many mysteries over a glass of wine with friends, Paije always comes collect, bringing with her an unmistakable ability to engage with her world full force. The resource I have found in Paije is one that is centered around that contagious energy. In a world that is cluttered with superfluous distractions, she is someone I can look to when I yearn for a grounding influence. Often times this will take place in the form of a tarot reading, or even going over my natal chart, where we can work together at unveiling aspects of myself that remain slightly tucked beneath the surface. Readings are always specialized, thorough, yet relaxed. Being the dynamic Gemini she is, Paije offers a multitude of special abilities to us through her presence. Whether it be offering care or guidance as a doula, or serving as a connection to the divine through her readings, Paije embodies what it is to be a helper, healer, and truth seeker. On a personal note, I have watched Paije navigate the peaks and valleys of her own journey, all the while taking cues from her on what it means to be a woman who rises to the action when faced with life’s challenges. Encountering conflict and struggle is often when I first start to hide those ‘beneath the surface’ aspects of myself. Paije, however, has shown me how stay receptive, utilizing even difficult experiences as a means to learn more about who I really am. This may be one of her qualities that resonates most deeply with me. Paije is real. Paije is candid and open, about all parts of life, even the dark parts - even her own. The ability to be vulnerable is what I believe to be part of Paije’s intrinsic magic. Her spiritual nakedness fosters a sense of security between herself and others, as the only rule is simply truth. By being a shining example of strength and sensitivity, Paije teaches us without words, the immense power that comes with owning your experiences, no matter what. ”
—KATRINA, 2016
“I was a skeptical Capricorn when I first sat in front of Paije and her cards. I was quickly enthralled with her in-depth, heartfelt, and thorough reading. By the end of my first experience with Paije and her insights I was warmed from within. She is empathic, connected, and cares deeply for all of her clients. I have since sat in front of Paije and her cards in some of my darkest times, and finished our session feeling healed, calmed and enlightened. I put full trust in Paije and so admire her ability to take on the weight of others emotions and guide them toward clarity. ”
—CATHERINE, 2016
“Paije, I want to thank you for the card reading you gave me. It’s apparent to me that you have really put your soul energy into understanding the cards and how they present. I feel so fortunate to have you read mine for me; you are thorough and so loving. You confirmed for me that I’m on the right path and direction, I think that’s what matters the most to me. Life can really get scary when one forgets to Love above all. Your reading was profound, intense and very meaningful for me. Thank you for the energy you bring to the table.”
— CASSIE, 2016
