My history, a search for truth
From a very young age, I began questioning the human condition and how we might create a more harmonious world. This search for understanding and contribution has guided every choice I have made.
Convinced that change could emerge through the structures that shape our societies, I first studied International Relations. Then, recognizing the influence of narratives, images, and human behavior in collective transformation, I pursued a Master of Business Administration in Marketing and Communication Strategy.
For over ten years, I worked in marketing, public relations, and brand development in Switzerland, Germany, and internationally. I supported communication agencies, and later worked within the worlds of art, music, wellness, and health, which I perceived as spaces for collective transformation.
Alongside this professional path, another quest was unfolding within me: that of healing.
From the age of 22, I entered a deep healing process around anorexia, which I had been living with for nine years. This experience led me to explore psychology, meditation, and later various therapeutic, energetic, and spiritual approaches.
For many years, these two paths evolved in parallel: one of contributing to the world, and one of inner healing.
Gradually, a realization emerged: lasting transformation does not take place solely in external systems, but within human consciousness itself. When the being transforms, reality transforms.
This inquiry led me to the ancestral traditions of the Amazon and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia, where I continue today to learn from the guardians of ancestral wisdom.
It is within this path that song revealed itself as a central medicine in my practice. The Ikaros—sacred songs transmitted within Amazonian traditions—have become an essential tool in my work.
It was at the birth of my son that my gift as a healer fully revealed itself, and I understood that it was time to place my own practice at the center of my path.
Today, I live in Colombia, at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, and I accompany people in Europe and internationally through processes of healing, release of memories, and reconnection to their deepest essence.
MY TEAM
I weave connections with various ancestral cultures that provide valuable support on our path to transformation and reconnection with our origins and ourselves. Here, I present the healers with whom I organize retreats in Colombia. These masters are my mentors in my spiritual learning and in the transmission granted to me.
Deeply rooted in their heritage and the traditions of their civilization, these wise woman and men can offer you extraordinary insights:

The Arhuaco Nation
ANCESTRAL WISDOM OF THE SIERRA NEVADA DE SANTA MARTA, COLOMBIA
The Arhuacos are the guardians of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, along with the Koguis, Wiwas, and Kankuamos. They call this territory in northern Colombia the Heart of the World. It represents the diversity of the entire Earth, from the Caribbean Sea to the desert, from the jungle to the snow-capped mountains. The mountain range forms a heart, and according to their wisdom, life on Earth begins in the lagoons at the top of the mountains, where snow covers the peaks year-round.
The spirituality of the guardians of the Heart of the World consists of making what they call "pagamentos," reciprocal offerings to the spirits, which are part of their cosmology. They have a deep knowledge of Earth Wisdom, and the Mamos—spiritual authorities—are powerful healers.
Mama Concha

Mama Concha, yagécera and curandera from the Kamentsa community of Sibundoy, practices healing with ancestral yagé medicine and medicinal plants from the Amazon. Her parents were Maima and Taita, and she has been drinking medicine since childhood and giving it for many years.

Her treatments for the uterus, prostate, and many other ailments are renowned in the healing community of Putumayo and beyond Colombia's borders. As Mama Concha says, "it is possible to heal everything with faith." Mama Concha offers profound healing medicine for the body, mind, spirit, and spirit.
