Our Expert Team
Dr. AMALIA BACA
Naturopathic Doctor
A native of Arizona, Dr. Baca found her calling in naturopathic medicine after overcoming the challenges of her father’s battle with cancer & her personal healing journey from major depression. Baca has developed a strong passion for providing health care to families, using advanced medical technologies as well as traditional & indigenous healing methods. Her participation in sacred ceremonies both with & without entheogens created opportunities for Dr. Baca to support many others during their healing journey and integration process, for which she is very grateful.
Along with different integrative practices, Dr. Baca realizes the importance of building community & connection in order to help maintain changes. When she is not seeing patients in the office, she is facilitating community events such as sweat lodges, talking circles and ceremonial retreats, incorporating the healing properties of the Nature and the 4 Elements. She also believes in the integrated medical team approach to patient care to provide the best options and treatments for her patients. She believes that the next era of naturopathic medicine is currently in the integration of ancient traditional sciences with modern medical practices which will create greater possibilities for healing
Clinical Interests & Specialties
Dr. Baca’s treatments focus on modifying lifestyle habits in addition to using infusion and injection therapies, detoxification, herbal medicine, supplementation and other supportive therapies to bring you to a place of optimal health. She is well-known for her treatment of gastrointestinal issues, adrenal fatigue, diabetes, chronic pain, cardiovascular conditions as well as supporting mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
She specializes in psychedelic-assisted integrative therapy, addiction & substance abuse management, environmental medicine, and detoxification. She uses cutting edge technologies, such as ozone therapy, which support immune function, bring the body into balance, and have the potential to reverse many chronic disease processes. Working with non-ordinary states of consciousness, especially with breath-work, somatic awareness, and ketamine-assisted therapy, she has found to be extremely effective at healing trauma and re-igniting spiritual practices that can support sustainable change.
Treatment Approach
Dr. Baca is experienced in treating a wide spectrum of different issues as her focus on the whole body brings her attention to the way different systems interact with each other. Through her years of working in private practice and participating in experiential journey work she has come to appreciate the significant connection between spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical well-being. It has become part of her standard of care to address all aspects of those she treats, even those who come to her seeking relief from purely physical symptoms. She is passionate about educating others about the inextricable connection of all systems and aspects of health and therefore empowering them with the agency to enhance their quality of life and access their innate healer. Her vision is to utilize this integration to bring people back from chronic diseases by supporting them in living harmoniously with Nature.

Raymond "Two Bears" Baca
Energy Vibration Instructor & Sacred Ceremony Facilitator
My name is Raymond Alonzo “Two Bears” Baca. I consider myself a Christian Taoist, walking the Red Road. My path to healing was facilitated by my beautiful wife of 21 years who has loved me unconditionally and has patiently waited for my true self to unfold. I grew up in a loving home where my mother and father raised me quite differently. My mother instilled and reinforced Jesus Christ’s heart of love as my father taught me native ways of looking at nature and lessons that even now, I am learning & growing from. In my mid 20's, I met my Sifu (father/teacher), David who would set me on the Red Road and teach me many paths to the Universal Life Energy that runs through all things. He would often tell his students that no religion has a monopoly on truth. Many teachers have come into my life since then, but the most profound teachers have been the plant teachers that have been teaching humanity since the beginning of time guiding us to the natural path back to our higher consciousness and true self. Creator has blessed me to be able to work in my local community to build strong relationships through ceremony & prayer.
