Wednesday Apr 03, 2024
Do you know what the benefits of plant-based medicine are? 🤔
Have you ever heard of Ayahuasca? 🌿
In today’s episode, Sonya chats to Simon Ruffell, a Psychiatrist, Senior Research Fellow & CEO of Onaya Health, whose work is dedicated to exploring the traditional psychedelic brew ayahuasca.
Ayahuasca is a South American psychoactive & plant-based brew, traditionally used by Indigenous cultures and folk healers in the Amazon for spiritual ceremonies, divination, and healing a variety of psychosomatic issues.
During the episode, spirituality meets science as Sonya & Simon discuss Simon’s research into ayahuasca, how his previous experiences working with child soldiers in Africa affected that research and the impact that plant-based medicine can have on physical and mental health.
If you’re an entrepreneur, creator or leader who wants to know more about plant-based medicine and its potential benefits on your physical & mental health then this discussion is for you!

GUEST BIO:
Simon draws from his training in three modalities: Western medicine (medical doctor specialising in psychiatry), research psychology (with a PhD in ayahuasca and mental health), and traditional plant medicine (student of curanderismo).
He worked on a major trial at King’s College London investigating the effects of psilocybin on treatment-resistant depression, though since 2016 his work has been primarily dedicated to exploring the traditional psychedelic brew ayahuasca. He is CEO of Onaya Health and co-founded the not-for-profit Onaya Science, researching the effects of ayahuasca in naturalistic Amazonian settings in collaboration with universities, charities, and Indigenous-led think tanks worldwide. Simon’s work seeks to understand plants such as ayahuasca from both an Indigenous and a Western viewpoint, with the goal of generating a richer understanding of healing modalities. He is currently training under Keyo Sui Rono and Don Rono Lopez.
ABOUT THE HOST:
Sonya Morton-Firth has a history of reinventing herself and has been nick-named “the Queen of Transformation”. She is proof that age is no barrier to achieving dreams.
After a full on 17-year career as an international sales director in the Finance Industry where she travelled the world, burning the candles at both ends, she realised there was more to life, she was successful but unfulfilled. It was at this turning point that Sonya decided to leave the rat race with its fat cats behind.
She went on to pursue her passion in health and fitness, transforming into a physique athlete and launched a fashion brand of fitness clothes for women.
Competing on stage against 20-year-olds in bodybuilding at the age of 44, proving that age is just a number!
Sonya’s journey of personal growth was enhanced when she became leader of UK’s largest personal growth community, as the MC, she interviewed renowned speakers on stage.
Financial Freedom was one of Sonya’s goals and having built up a property portfolio, she achieved this and she is now investing her knowledge in other forms of wealth creation.
Today, she is on a mission through her podcast The Sonya Morton Firth Show, with the help of her expert guests, to equip her audience with all she has gained to help empower entrepreneurs, creators and leaders to become masters of their health, wealth, and mindset.
