Maestra Wilma Verita Morayari Saldaña, known in Shipibo as Isayaka, meaning “messenger bird that receives and transmits peace and love,” is a Shipibo healer from the community of Nuevo Nazareth, belonging to an ancestral culture recognized for its rich traditions, wisdom, and knowledge passed down through generations.
With more than 30 years walking the path of ancestral medicine, WILMA has dedicated much of her life to service, healing, and supporting others. For her, being a healer carries a simple yet profound meaning: to help, serve, and work with love.

Her connection with medicine began at a very early age, growing up surrounded by her grandparents and family members, who lived deeply connected to traditional medicine. Among them, she shared a special bond with her grandmother Isayaka, a medicine woman with whom she also shares the same spiritual name. From childhood, she accompanied her family into the jungle to collect medicinal plants, developing a deep curiosity and natural connection with this world.
As time passed, she began receiving dreams and spiritual experiences where the spirits of medicine invited her deeper into this path, revealing teachings and guidance on how to use this knowledge in service of others.

Later in life, when she united with her husband and began building a life together, a new chapter in her spiritual and medicinal journey unfolded. Through his family, she had the opportunity to deepen her preparation under the guidance of her father-in-law, the respected Maestro Alfredo Cairuna (Sinamano). This stage strengthened her path through profound plant diets and expanded her knowledge in icaros, therapeutic massage, traditional work with perfumes and tobacco, mud treatments, and the ancestral art of bone healing, a traditional practice focused on working with bones, supporting fractured bones, alignment, and restoring the body’s physical structure.
For WILMA, master plants are a great spiritual school. She believes that when a person enters this path, they enter a world of teachings, discipline, and sacred rules that must be honored with humility and commitment.

Throughout the years, she has guided many healing processes through ceremonies and traditional treatments, supporting each person with presence, intuition, and deep respect for the medicine.
Through her journey, she has learned that helping and serving others brings profound joy to her heart. Witnessing someone find relief, clarity, or transformation is one of the greatest gifts of her life.

The values she seeks to share with those who come to her space are love, unity, empathy, and respect. Through ceremonies, dreams, and spiritual messages, she feels the spirits continually remind her of one essential teaching: to cultivate love, serve, and help one another.
Her deepest wish is that every person who works with her may find wellbeing, clarity, and reconnect with their purpose in life.
