Testimonials

Reviews from our Trustpilot page (translated from German).

Katrin accompanied me for 2 weeks on my trip to Oaxaca, as I was looking for traditional medicine and healing methods. Through her multi-layered connections, I was able to have incredibly profound experiences with limpias, massages, cacao ceremonies and much more. The highlight and most touching thing for me was that I was able to learn directly from curandera Lorena. Thanks to Katrin's open, humorous and authentic manner, she connects easily with people and conveying the Mexican culture and everything that goes with it is very important to her, as well as the well-being of her clients, which I could feel at all times. I will definitely be back. Thank you very much Katrin.

I traveled to Oaxaca for 2 weeks in February and had Katrin plan my entire stay. The focus was on nature and traditional medicine. Thanks to Katrin, I was able to get to know some impressive places and regions of Oaxaca that I would never have visited on my own. I was particularly impressed by the untouched nature in the mountain village of Huautla de Jimenez, which also includes a gigantic cave system. In addition to planning and organizing my stay, Katrin also accompanied me as a private guide and translator. She makes it fun to immerse yourself in the local culture and experience things that are off the beaten tourist track. I really like the fact that she always includes local and sustainable tour providers and accommodation in her offers. I found Katrin's presence as a translator at the ceremony in Huautla de Jimenez and the limpias with a local healer in Oaxaca City very pleasant and beneficial due to her warm and cordial disposition. Thank you Katrin for a great time and your professional work! May many more people benefit from your passion for Mexico.

For my online store mexicada.de, I found a reliable sourcing agent in Katrin for more high-quality, handmade products from Oaxaca. As it is also my philosophy to build long-term relationships with small, local family businesses and to pay them fairly, I immediately felt that I was in good hands with her. Over the years, Katrin has built up an extensive network of artisans in Oaxaca. She acts as a mediator, both between languages and cultures, with a clear understanding of the cooperation between producer and trader. Thanks to Katrin's professional work, I look forward to creating new products for my customers in Europe!
