About the trainer
Hi, I’m Smylee — for those of you who don’t know me, I’m a somatic therapist, breathwork coach, and wellness facilitator.
My journey with cacao began quietly, almost by accident, during a season of my life when I was learning to slow down, invite rituals, and really listen to myself. I was exploring new practices to care for my body, my nervous system, and my heart — and one day, I met cacao.
Sitting with cacao felt different. It wasn’t just a drink; it was an invitation. An invitation to pause, to feel, to remember that the heart has its own intelligence. It became a mirror, a guide, a teacher in my own inner work.
Since then, my work with cacao has grown organically. I’ve held community circles, private ceremonies, and even sessions in corporate spaces across the country. Each time, I witness the same magic: hearts opening, stories flowing, and people reconnecting to themselves in ways they didn’t know they could.
What truly drives me to offer this training is my deep respect for cacao — and for its history. This plant medicine comes from communities and cultures that have honored it for centuries. I want every healer who steps into this work to do so with reverence: for mother earth, for the people and elders who have carried this wisdom, and for the medicine itself.
Through my own practice, I’ve learned so much — about presence, about trust, about how to hold space for something bigger than myself. Now, I’m ready to share these lessons with other healers, to guide them in building confidence, sensitivity, and love in their own ceremonial practice.
This training is more than a course. It’s an invitation to meet cacao as a teacher, to connect with the heart, and to learn how to hold this medicine with integrity, kindness, and presence.
