“This is why alchemy exists," the boy said. "So that everyone will search for his treasure, find it, and then want to be better than he was in his former life.

Lead will play its role until the world has no further need for lead; and then lead will have to turn itself into gold.

That's what alchemists do. They show that, when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too.”

- Paulo Coelho

About

Cynthia

Cynthia. Κυνθία: name of Greek origin meaning "moon goddess or, woman from Kynthos"

I fell in love with the wisdom of ancient myth as a child when I became enthralled with Greek mythology. While attending boarding school in England, a senior trip to Greece reawakened a deep connection to the land. Later, while studying Greek sculpture during an elective art history class in college, I decided to pursue a B.A. in Art History, Mythology and Symbolism from The American University of Paris, France.

This led to a 20 year career in the New York City art world—working at galleries like Gagosian, Pace and David Zwirner—all the while enjoying my work in connection with contemporary artists. A perception of beauty, harmony and balance, coupled with an intuitive knowledge of symbols and archetypes, became engrained in my DNA through my work in the arts.

Yet, through gentle guidance, or trials and tribulations, life has a divine way of connecting us with our true destiny. The year 2020 brought me the opportunity to reconnect with my Peruvian ancestry and be trained by Dr. Alberto Villoldo, Founder of The Four Winds Light Body School, to become a Certified Shamanic Energy Medicine Practitioner.

Going through the practice and process of the Alchemical Shamanic Medicine Wheel meant learning to shed the stories that we learn about who are, about how we may be suffering, or about the trauma that we may have experienced, and coming up with a more original story for ourselves—one that’s truly ours and is infused with power and sacred medicine.

I upgraded my health. I felt energetically rebooted. I reinstalled my passion. I recovered my innocence—but in alignment with ancient wisdom and truth this time—and I began to run a new life program from this purified zero point of creation.

The years 2021 and 2022 further allowed me to acquire knowledge, wisdom and training in Alchemical Astrology, Synergistic Herbalism and Ceremonial Grade Cacao Medicine.

Through the beauty of the healing arts, I am now here to help others reconnect with their body's deep inner wisdom—and their direct connection to Source—to regain their physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing too.

It would be my honor to support your journey. Let's begin the process of your alchemical transformation together.

sympatheia. συμπάθεια: word of Greek origin meaning the interconnectedness and interdependence of all things in the universe.

My approach in the Shamanic healing arts is in creating a nurturing, gentle and safe environment while applying the Greek concept of sympatheia for wellness.

I integrate the wisdom of ancient healing traditions, merge them with my knowledge of mythology, alchemical astrology, herbalism and cacao—and combine them with the deep healing power of shamanic journeying, ceremony and divination—to help my clients regain balance, harmony and beauty in their lives.

Through deep unified intention and synergistic partnership, I assist my clients in resetting their systems to become the alchemists—the artists—of their own lives, embarking on their quest to create mythic life maps, shaping exciting destinies, and reconnecting with the deep fulfillment of being human.
