Brittini Harper Dipl. O.M., AP, L.Ac.

Brittini’s Story:

Brittini’s passion for living a healthy life began at an early age when she was a tri-sport athlete. She played elite soccer at the national level for 16 years, which resulted in several sports-related injuries that conventional medicine and physical therapy could not fully heal. This experience led her to explore the benefits of nutrition and dietary supplements as a natural way to improve her performance and prevent future injuries. During her transition to a healthier lifestyle, she encountered severe gastrointestinal issues and various unexplainable symptoms, which prompted her to seek help from multiple specialists. Unfortunately, each doctor prescribed medication that failed to help, and every diagnosis only added more confusion. Frustrated by the lack of progress, Brittini began her own research. She felt conventional medicine wasn't giving her the answers she needed and decided to take matters into her own hands, motivating her to pursue a career in medicine.

Brittini graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, earning a Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition and Dietetics and a minor in Food Science. She then attended graduate school at the Florida College of Integrative Medicine, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine and a Bachelor of Science in Professional Health Science. Brittini is a National Board Certified Diplomate of Oriental Medicine, an Acupuncture Physician, a Clinical Nutritionist, and a Clinical Herbalist. She is licensed to practice acupuncture in Washington and Colorado. Brittini has apprenticed under renowned physicians and master acupuncturists across the United States and East Asia and continued her herbal medicine training under traditional herbalists in Central and South America.

Brittini has extensively explored various healing techniques to address physical, mental, and spiritual health, as well as generational trauma. Her search led her to travel to Central and South America, where she underwent an apprenticeship with shamanic healers from the Shipibo-Conibo and Siona tribes in the Peruvian and Colombian Amazon. During her apprenticeship, she gained valuable insight into the healing powers of jungle plants, including sacred master plants that she fasted and isolated herself with for extended periods. As a traditionally trained Amazonian vegetalista, she considers herself a lifelong and dedicated student of Plant Medicine and Spirit. She continues to learn from elders and indigenous tribes to preserve and protect their sacred teachings while supporting their culture and community.

Brittini owes her life to Plant Medicine and firmly believes everyone should have access to its transformative power. Her own experience has inspired her to share her message of love and knowledge with others who seek the path of Ancestral Plant Medicine. She is passionate about making these miraculous plants accessible to all, including those who cannot physically or financially travel to the jungle. As a result, Brittini offers a variety of services that can be accessed from the comfort of one’s home, including Master Plant Dietas, king nettle treatments, spiritual cleansing supplies, regenerative plant baths, colognes, and Amazonian tinctures and essences. All of these are specifically designed to help people seeking physical, mental, and spiritual healing and ascension. With her expertise and guidance, anyone can experience the power of Plant Medicine and unlock their full potential.

During one of her Shamanic Master Plant Dietas, Brittini received a calling to travel to the Kiko community in the high Andes, Q'ero nation, to train under Master Paqos. She is an initiate of the Apaza Chumpi Paqo and Ñusta Paqo Pampamesayoq (Andean Shaman) family lineage, specializing in earth-based Andean Energy Medicine. The Andean medicine path requires constant communication with nature and the spiritual world to form connections with allies that perform this sacred work. For now, Brittini will only be offering services like despacho offerings and fire ceremonies as she continues her apprenticeship with the Apaza family and deepens her relationship with the nature spirits.

Brittini is dedicated to helping her patients achieve optimal health. Her approach blends Eastern and Western medicine, as well as shamanic healing techniques, enabling her to identify and address the root causes of illnesses, rather than just treating symptoms. She is the founder of Ayni Pacha, a healthcare organization that aims to improve health and vitality by delivering personalized whole-body wellness solutions that consider an individual's psychological and behavioral patterns. Brittini’s approach has proven to be highly effective, and she is confident in her ability to help patients achieve their health goals and lead fulfilling lives.

As a Traditional Chinese Medicine and South American shamanic practitioner, Brittini utilizes acupuncture, functional medicine, herbal medicine, Andean medicine, nutrition therapy, dietary supplements, and homeopathy in her clinical practice. Her methods combine ancient techniques with advanced evidence-based research. She takes the time to truly listen to her patients and uses the best available diagnostic tools to create a personalized wellness program that helps them achieve significant improvements in their health without relying on prescription medications. Brittini is highly skilled in working with a diverse range of patients, including athletes, veterans, and individuals suffering from chronic illness and emotional trauma. She has a special focus on internal medicine, with an emphasis on gastrointestinal disorders & dysbiosis, TBIs & neurological disorders, pain management, and mental-emotional health.

Mia Bella

Position: Senior Director of Barket Management

Hello there! My name is Mia, but you can call me Mimi. I might be a chiweenie, but my mommy says it’s a mystery—either way, I’m a proud rescue pup, and she says it doesn’t matter! Word on the street is that my puppy kisses are medicinal (seriously, they work wonders), and I guarantee I’ll brighten your day. I may make the occasional guest appearance at the clinic, but I’m more of a behind-the-scenes gal… a little on the shy side.

I’m actually the brains behind Ayni Pacha and, fun fact, I’ve been employee of the month for six years straight! When I’m not running the show, you’ll catch me on the hiking trails or on long cross-country road trips with my human.

Hobbies: Enjoying the breeze from my hammock, sunrise runs, and getting my puppy paws massaged while I snooze. See you around my clinic! 🐾
