About Us
There is an innate intelligence, which resides in all of us. Your body is an organic, self-healing, self-regulating system. Your job is to remove the “block” or the accumulation of “blocks” which inhibit your body’s natural healing response. There is no mystery as to why your body loses vitality or creates symptoms. It is constantly interacting with the environment, responding to the thoughts we think and the feelings engendered by those thoughts.
When you experience symptoms, they are an indication that something in your inner and/or outer environment is out of balance. It is a matter of relearning the language in which your body communicates its needs to you and connecting to the power you have to heal yourself. Since the path is not always clear, embracing your power might mean asking for support along the way.
We understand that at times the discomfort we are experiencing can be overwhelming. Despite trying different ways to understand what’s happening to our bodies, we might reach a point where we don’t know what else to try or which way to turn. Because we believe every problem comes with a solution, we developed this very unique approach that we consider to be the evolution of medicine.
Our method was inspired by our founder’s personal experience. He was fortunate at one point to discover the powerful healing and researching properties of Iboga as a sacred plant medicine. From this experience, he was inspired to create this Iboga medicinal plant-based healing project.
We believe that once one sets clear intentions and is ready to put energy towards the manifestation of those intentions, they will align with the appropriate resources and best-suited healing practitioners. When you come to us, we’re ready to either welcome you to our Costa Rican paradise, or we can go directly to you, no matter where you are in the world. We consider every person as whole and deserving, and that is why we offer this very personalized and unique method.
Founder
Welcome! My name is Darin McBratney-founder of the Global Nurture Project and Iboga Therapy.
I am filled with gratitude for how my life was transformed by an illness I contracted 15 years ago and this transformation continues to exceed my expectations.
I am not a doctor, a shaman or a magician. I am simply somebody that has come up with a life-changing healing method that allowed me to not only survive but to thrive. This original, fascinating method is non-invasive, extremely simple and, dare I say, fun.
Our disconnection with nature is partially to blame for what makes us ill. We are truly organic beings who have lost our understanding of how to use our own body’s natural resources.
A Brief History
I was a 40 year old real estate entrepreneur and surfer who was in great health. One evening after surfing, I started to feel strange. I experienced brain fog and light sensitivity, which later evolved into fatigue, agonizing pain and other related symptoms. For over 2 years, I went to 5 countries, consulted with over 30 doctors and spent over $400k on what I now consider to be part of my education.
What was daunting was that 27 other people from my area had experienced the same symptoms and 5 had already died. After having every test imaginable, including spinal taps and MRIs, I was either misdiagnosed or given no diagnosis at all. After ending up in emergency rooms because I was unable to breath, I was coming to the conclusion that I would die soon. Whatever condition I had was certainly trying to kill me.
On one glorious day I was referred to Dr. Angelique Kay, who had cured a friend of mine of cancer. I reluctantly made this long trip with my 12 inch stack of medical records. I walked into her office and was greeted by this lovely woman. I told her my story in about 10 minutes and gave her my $400k worth of medical files. She just set them down and said, “I don’t need those”. She pulled out about 8 briefcases filled with empty vials labeled with every disease known to mankind. In just 5 minutes she diagnosed me with Ciguetera, or red tide nerve toxins, and said every nerve of my body was compromised. She continued with some energy work that made me feel much better. I am sure that finally having a correct diagnosis was a giant step towards healing.
I confirmed the diagnosis with further testing and found that this was indeed the truth. I researched and found that there was no “cure” available. This was something I simply could not fathom. So I came up with a protocol to find my “cure”. I started writing protocols for healers, supplements, exercise, nutrition and environment, along with different modalities of healing. With the addition of Dr. Kay’s expertise in Kinesiology, not only did we come up with the cure, but we gave birth to a revolutionary way to diagnose and heal people!
My constant search for optimal health over the last 9 years has led me to ancient vedic texts, plant medicines, Edgar Cayce teachings, eastern medicine, western medicine, nutrition and all forms of natural healing. We have gathered the best healers in the world to form the Global Nurture Project in which we have the goal of building 50 of our life centers worldwide and changing the face of “modern” medicine and healing as we know it. Please join us on your venture to optimal health and reaching potentials you never thought possible. Let’s do this together and be the change you want to see. I believe anything is possible if the intention is there.
