About Derek
Lived Experience Meets Years of Service.
Derek Januszewski is a pastor, integration coach, breathwork facilitator, speaker, and founder of Pachamama Sanctuary.
His work is shaped not only by years of supporting others, but by his own experience of addiction, recovery, rebuilding, spiritual exploration, and personal transformation.
After rebuilding his own life, Derek committed himself to service and began supporting people navigating meaningful experiences, recovery, personal growth, and major life transitions.
Through Pachamama Sanctuary and his broader work, Derek has spent years working with participants around preparation, boundaries, consent, accountability, safety, reflection, and integration.
A meaningful experience becomes more valuable when you learn how to bring what you discovered back into everyday life.
