About Jessica:
Rev Dr. Jessica Rochester is the author of Ayahuasca Awakening, A Guide to Self-Discovery, Self-Mastery and Self-Care, Volume One and Two. She is an ordained Inter-Faith Minister with a Doctorate in Divinity. A transpersonal counselor and educator, she trained in the work of the psychiatrist Roberto Assagioli MD and trained with Stanislav Grof MD. Dr. Rochester is the Madrinha of Céu do Montréal, the Santo Daime (Ayahuasca) church she founded in 1997. She has been a workshop leader, teacher, and in private practice. She continues to lecture on consciousness, non-ordinary states of consciousness, self-discovery, spiritual development, and personal transformation. From 2001 to 2017 she worked with Health Canada to achieve the recognition of the Santo Daime as a legitimate religion and the right to import the Santo Daime Sacrament for ritual use. In June 2017, this mission was accomplished and Céu do Montréal received an Exemption to import and serve the Santo Daime Sacrament.
