Our Origin Story
La Unica: The one.
Our name comes from an ancestral vision experienced by our founder during a simple ceremony with fire and Colorado Cypress. That hearthside vision transported her into liminal space. She found herself surrounded by thousands from her lineage. The Spanish-speaking ancestors leaned in and urgently whispered: “Tú eres la Única.” You are the one.
Their message was clear: she was being called to be the one bold enough to face inherited wounds, heal her lineages, and break generational cycles. It was an invitation to return to the old ways of healing—paths she had already begun more than two decades earlier under her first Shamanic mentor. Her life had come full circle, as the vision came during her second shamanic mentorship.
A year-long immersion into the 10,000 year-old Peruvian Shamanic rites, the Munay Ki. This moment sealed what her first teacher had always encouraged - that she, like he, carry forward indigenous teachings: living in harmony with all of creation, moving with the seasons, and remembering that all beings are our kin.
From that point forward it was clear: Anyone willing to learn, she would teach. So moved by the experience, her new business had to be named La Unica—a home for those devoted to holistic healing and deep reverence for traditional practices.
La Unica Wellness was born in 2025.—and just four months later, we were honored with Best in Massage by St. Louis Magazine. Today, we offer education, practical tools, indigenous ceremonies, and hands-on therapies designed to help you heal, grow, and thrive—season by season — using simple, yet highly advanced, ancient and modern technology and knowledge.
Shamanic Trainings & Initiation
Ancient Technology, Modern Application
Shamanism—often known as the path of the medicine man or medicine woman—is one of the oldest spiritual and healing traditions on Earth. Through ritual, ceremony, and energy practices, this work supports deep personal transformation, seasonal alignment, and living in right relationship with nature and all of life.
Estephanina offers two paths for those called to study indigenous healing practices. The Munay Ki Initiatory Path is a year-long, one-on-one immersion rooted in a 10,000-year Quechua lineage from Peru, designed for profound personal development and energetic mastery.
For those beginning their journey, the 12-week Virtual Course - “Sacred Embodiment Experience (S.E.E.)” provides foundational practices such as journeying, drumming, altar work, and energetic clearing, with optional in-person ceremonies and mentorship.
All teachings honor Indigenous lineages and teachers. This training does not include psychedelic facilitation.
Begin Your Path
Begin with the Sacred Embodiment Experience (S.E.E.)
The initial consultation initiates your 12-week journey.
The intro consultation determines readiness for initiation. Some may be guided to begin with the 12-week Sacred Embodiment Experience first, with the option to transition into the year-long Munay Ki path upon completion.

Learning for Estephania has been the joy of my life. She has helped me navigate through so much and has brought to me clarity, confidence, and a truer sense of self. The healing work she has done for me simply is unrivaled in St. Louis. Healers do not compete, but I would choose her for any type of healing that I may be in need of. Thank you, Nina!! Love!
