Gerard Powell

I’d love to introduce Gerard Powell, a man who went from self-destructive multimillionaire to the founder of Rythmia, the world’s first and only medically licensed ayahuasca retreat.

After years of battling addiction, depression, and trauma, Gerard turned to plant medicine as a last resort—and what he experienced changed his life. A psychedelic journey and an unexpected conversation with the Moon reconnected him with his soul, leading him to create a healing center that has now helped 18,000+ people with a 98% transformation rate.

At Rythmia, people from all walks of life—including doctors, veterans, therapists, and those who have tried everything else—come to heal emotional wounds, trauma, addiction, stress, and burnout.

Supported by influential figures such as Kelly Slater, MLK III, Jack Canfield and comedian Ron White, who serve on the board, along with Hollywood A-listers like Terrence Howard, Rythmia helps individuals reconnect with their true selves in a way that traditional medicine often overlooks.

Gerard’s story is raw, real, and deeply personal. He speaks on why so many feel stuck in cycles of pain, why traditional solutions often fail, and how plant medicine is helping people heal in ways they never thought possible.

A prominent voice in the alternative healing space, Gerard reaches over 330K followers across Facebook and Instagram, and has featured in The New York Times and The New York Post.

Topics your audience will love:

How he broke free from trauma, addiction, and self-destruction when nothing else worked.
Why alternative healing modalities are succeeding where traditional treatments fall short.
How unresolved trauma manifests in our daily lives—and what actually heals it.
Why people feel stuck in cycles of pain and how to find true fulfillment.
What the Rythmia team has learned from working with 18,000+ individuals.
The unexpected wisdom he received from talking to the Moon (yes, really).
