Hello! I'm Priscilla,

I'm a proud mom, a hobby-photographer, a cook, an aurora chaser, and someone who has spent most of her life trying to understand what it means to be human, in the body, in relationship, and in connection to the land.

I was born in Lima, Peru, with roots in Chile and the Andean highlands. I grew up in a family where intuition, energy, and the unseen world were not extraordinary, they were just part of life. My maternal lineage carries gifts of mediumship, clairvoyance, and a deep, reciprocal relationship with the natural world. That is where this work began for me, long before I had words for it.

How I came to this work

My formal path started with psychology and early childhood development, and then a life-changing encounter with my own family's intergenerational trauma redirected everything. I realized that healing had to go deeper than talk. It had to go into the body, into the nervous system, into the stories we carry in our bones without knowing it.

In 2010 I began practicing as a spiritual guide. In 2015, a transformative encounter with the Bodhisattva Kwan Yin guided me toward trauma-informed somatic work, shadow work, nervous system regulation, and the living connections between our inner landscape and the world around us. Over the years I deepened my training in somatic and embodiment practices, clinical hypnotherapy, relationship and grief coaching, and energetics.

Today I hold all of it together; the emotional, and the ancestral, the body and the spirit, under what I call an eco-somatic practice. Healing, in my understanding, is never separate from the earth we live on or the lineages we carry.

A little more about me

I am a lifetime learner, a huge nerd for psychology, anthropology, and human evolution, and I am currently finishing a diploma in Interior Design. When I'm not working you'll find me out chasing the Aurora, baking, painting, or having long car-therapy sessions with close friends.

I am casual and easy going. I show up as my full, whole self without apology, and I invite you to do the same.

I am culturally informed and deeply respectful of traditions that are not my own. I do not engage in cultural appropriation of spiritually closed practices. The ancestral healing I offer is rooted in my own lineage; the Andean and Amazonian traditions where this kind of work has been sacred for centuries. When my practice is called "woo woo," I experience that as a dismissal of my cultural roots, and I don't shy away from saying so. I am also currently writing my first book, weaving together my personal experiences, my ancestral roots, and the wisdom this work has brought me. It feels like the most honest thing I have ever done.

If you've found your way here, I trust it wasn't by accident...

  • I met Prissy years ago and have now experienced past life regression, paranormal investigations, energy work, and achieved Reiki certification through her. She is incredibly gifted. Truly one of the most empathetic beings I have encountered. I could not recommend her more, she is simply amazing at all she does. I thank my lucky stars to have such a wonderful teacher in my life.

  • "Whether one believes in a religion or not and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion." ~ 14th Dalai Lama. Priscilla is a gift and a blessing. She is helping our world understand the true meaning of compassion. Through her numerous, yet interconnected approaches, she is guiding the lives of those who are seeking healing and purpose so that they may live abundant lives rich in health, joy and peace. May we all realize the compassion that is already within us, available to us through God's grace and love, so that we may be more compassionate with ourselves, and to all those around us. Thanks to Priscilla's guidance, generosity and compassionate spirit, more and more people are awaking to the truth.

  • I met Priscilla for a "Readings" class she was teaching. It's just a hobby for me, but I saw how passionate Priscilla is about helping others with her gift. I later went to her for counselling- for my personal issues. She was so sensitive and insightful about me and my husband, that my husband decided to have some sessions with her as well. Priscilla helped us with our personal healing, as well as healing our relationship , she met our emotional and spiritual needs at our level. With her by our side, me and my husband have come a long way. I highly recommend Priscilla if you want to transform your life!

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

With a heart attuned to the spirit of the land, I honor the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Nêhiyaw (Cree), Dene, Anishinaabe, Métis, Isga, and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) peoples, keepers of Treaty 6 Territory, where I now live and offer my work, in what is colonially called Edmonton, Alberta.

I acknowledge the breath of the rivers, the memory held in soil and stone, and the resilience of the Indigenous peoples who have walked, loved, and tended this land since time immemorial.

May this work be in service to healing personal, collective, and ecological, and may it honor the living wisdom of the land and its original stewards. May we move with humility, truth, and a deepening commitment to decolonial care and relational justice.
