About Us

Years ago, Dr. Maya experienced a healing crisis of her own that took her on a journey to Ecuador to study with traditional healers and shamans. She founded the Terrain Institute when she recognized the glaring absence of attention to emotional and spiritual health. She now teaches about Earth Medicine—a journey into developing a relationship with the Earth’s healing, exploring it from all perspectives: science, sacred, intuition, ancient traditions, and everything burned with the so-called “witches.” Through connecting more deeply to your own inner guidance, these transformative programs can help change your life, the lives of those you love, and the lives of those you work with. You will gain an array of new and accessible tools to use in challenging (and all!) situations.

Maya Shetreat, MD is a neurologist, herbalist, urban farmer, and author of The Dirt Cure: Healthy Food, Healthy Gut, Happy Child (Simon and Schuster, 2016), which has been translated into ten languages.
