My work in the healing arts began in 1972, teaching occupational therapists at the Universidad del Rosario in Bogotá. I spent most of my early childhood and adolescence in secluded monasteries where part of the everyday time was dedicated to meditation and prayer. During those years, I had extraordinary spiritual experiences. At 23, I began receiving direct personal teachings from several spiritual masters. I was personally initiated as a Sannyasin by Osho in India. I’ve spent 20 years being part of the Osho Meditation Centers in Europe and India, where I learned the Art of Integrating the State of Meditation and Mindfulness into everyday life.

During a retreat in the autumn of 1990 in Germany, I became a student of Ji Kwang Dae Poep Sa Nim, founder and Supreme Matriarch of the Yun Hwa Denomination of World Social Buddhism. I treasure the time spent with these spiritual masters; the greatest gift I received from them is my appreciation and love for life.

After losing my husband in 1990 in a car accident, I was fortunate to spend some time living with the late Doctor Ann Wigmore, founder of the original Hippocrates Health Institute in Boston, MA, and be personally trained by her as an Educator of the Living Foods Life Style. Being on living foods transformed my physical and emotional bodies completely.

Searching for ways to help myself get back to health and release the physical pain after a surgery that almost took my life in 1995, a friend suggested I learn NLP and Hypnotherapy. I initially trained with Jake Eagle in Santa Fe, NM, and then with Robert Dilts, Judith Delozier, and Robert McDonald at the University of CA, Santa Cruz. Later on, I learned Rapid Eye Technology with Doctor Ranae Johnson, founder, and director of the Rapid Eye Institute in Salem, OR, and was able to recover fully on an emotional and physical level.

I have been interviewed and shared my experiences in numerous magazines, newspapers, radio, and television shows. I received the Sanskrit name Ma Shakti Devi, which I cherish. Shakti is the primordial cosmic energy, the female personification of Divine Creative Power, also known as “The Great Divine Mother.”

Learning to honor and accept yourself unconditionally is the greatest blessing.

“I offer solutions through work one on one, in groups, seminars, classes, and retreats. I can assist you, whether you are looking to resolve personal or family issues or you need solutions for your company or organization.”

Each one of us holds trapped emotions and negative messages of unresolved issues within the deepest part of our psyche, stored over life cycles in our brains, bodies, and DNA. Often, particular patterns like depression, anxiety, or alcoholism keep running in the family until resolved.

The sooner we liberate those issues’ energies, break the cycle of dysfunction, heal our suffering and the pain of untold generations, the sooner we can give that precious gift of healing to our descendants.

My work is about supporting my clients in clearing the energy stuck in traumatic cell memory, opening up their body, mind, and spirit to a new relationship with themselves and life. They will acquire cutting-edge tools to be used in their everyday life, so they can keep themselves thriving and balanced.

I invite you to heal your relationship with your Soul and with the Generational Soul of your Family. Through it, you will renew all other relationships in your life.
