My name is Hamid Jabbar.
I work with what your life, the line you came from and your own history have asked of your body.
I help people grow and understand themselves with methods that run from the plant traditions of the Amazon to modern lab testing, and I check the old knowledge against the science. As a health coach and guide, I bring together mineral balancing, plant medicine traditions, somatic therapy, changes to daily life and honest counsel to help people change their health from the inside out.
What I trained in
My training comes from universities, teachers and lineages, and I use all of it, fitted to the person in front of me.
The law degree earns its keep more often than people expect. It shapes how I think about evidence, about what a practitioner may honestly claim, and about where the line sits between guidance and diagnosis.
The Peru work is held each year in the Sacred Valley, where Miguel Mendiburu guides the ceremonies.

The land is the teacher
The desert around my home is where I go every day to reset. The land is my teacher. I spend a lot of time at the wild streams nearby with my dog Baba, wading in water that comes down from sacred mountains into this high Sonoran basin.
Those streams keep me steady, and so does lying in the dark of a float tank or sweating out stress in an infrared sauna. In many ways, deep rest and time with the elements is my full-time job.
When people ask what I do, I tell them I study the art of self-care.
Everything else grows out of that, including helping other people find their own way back to health. I have lived with chronic imbalance myself, and I am still learning and still asking questions. I am curious about how people thrive, and I want what I learned the hard way to help someone else sooner.
Work with me
I work one to one, on minerals and on plant medicine integration.
I use a hair test when it will tell us something. Plenty of people never need one.
Journeys in sound
Music has run through my life since childhood, leading me to the guitar, to electronic sound, and to the effect of vibration on a body. After NYU I went further into sound and mindfulness practice.
I lead sound meditations built around listening. My compositions use gongs, crystal bowls, flutes, voice and percussion to bring on a meditative state. I also train Sound Practitioners, and I don't prescribe what anyone should experience.
The sound work has its own home at hamidjabbar.com, with the music, writing on resonance, events in Phoenix, remote sessions and the practitioner programs.
Why I started a foundation
Huachuma is being harvested faster than it grows. I founded the Huachuma Foundation in 2024 to slow that down, and I chair it. It is a registered 501(c)(3) working on conservation, education and community.
The work is mostly planting. The garden is a terraced hillside at Taray in the Sacred Valley, on land Miguel Mendiburu owns and stewards. Several hundred cacti are in the ground today and the hillside will hold five thousand. Every retreat group plants more. It is slow, and it will outlast me.
The Foundation publishes its projects, its podcast, its educational programs, the conservation work and the ways to help at huachumafoundation.org.
I am grateful for good teachers, for what the hard years taught me, and for the mountains and desert where I recharge every day.
