Biomagnetism, also known as Biomagnetic Pair Therapy, was developed by Dr. Isaac Goiz Durán in Mexico in the 1990s. The therapy is based on the principle that pathogenic microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites) can only thrive in the body when specific areas fall outside their optimal pH range. By placing pairs of therapeutic magnets on specific points of the body, the therapy aims to restore pH balance and create an environment inhospitable to pathogens.
A biomagnetism session at Mariri typically lasts 60–90 minutes. The client lies fully clothed while the therapist uses muscle testing to identify which points need attention, then places magnets — one positive, one negative — at the identified locations. There is no pain; most people feel deeply relaxed during and after the session.
Biomagnetism is used to address a wide range of conditions: chronic pain, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, respiratory conditions, and emotional blockages. It is often used as a complement to plant medicine work, supporting the physical body in releasing what has been surfaced in ceremony.
Our biomagnetism therapist has trained directly under certified practitioners of Dr. Goiz's method and has extensive experience working with retreat guests throughout their healing process.
