My Journey as a Healer

My journey as a healer started when I was in my twenties. I had a spiritual awakening that changed everything.

It led me to learn Reiki, and for seven years I practiced and taught as a Reiki master. During that time, I explored everything I could get my hands on—reflexology, aromatherapy, Swedish massage, crystal healing. I even trained in Thai massage in Thailand, drawn by the ancient healing traditions of that land. I dove headfirst into the world of healing arts, hungry to understand it all.

Eventually, I made a conscious choice to step away from massage therapy and bodywork to focus entirely on spiritual and energy healing. This wasn't a rejection of those practices which taught me so much about the body and how energy moves through it. I just knew my path was calling me deeper into the unseen realms, into working with spirit and energy healing.

But if I'm honest, I'd noticed my abilities long before that. As a young person, I would put my hands on people and help ease their pain. I grew up in Sardinia, where I was born, and I had the chance to be in contact with  traditional healers.

I never in my wildest dreams would have thought i would become one. 


Following the Path Across Continents

In 2001, I went backpacking across Latin America for nine months, from Mexico all the way down to Peru. I practiced Reiki as I travelled, but I also learned from local healers and herbalists. I was fascinated by plants, by traditional medicine, by the way knowledge was passed down through hands and ceremonies rather than books. All along the way, I was drawn to traditional healers which seemed to fall into my path as if by magic. I had extraordinary experiences that I couldn't explain, that showed me there was far more to this world than I'd been taught to believe.

For many years after that, my healing practice stayed mostly in the background. I had day jobs. I trained as a permaculture teacher and was involved with community projects, environmental work, activism. Healing was something I did on the side.

Then one day, I can't remember exactly when it happened, everything came together. activism, the permaculture work, my spiritual practice, they all merged. Healing became my day job, my life's work. And that's what I've been doing ever since.


The Shamanic Path

Over the years, I've learned more. I  transitioned from Reiki into other modalities, and my practice is based on the fundamental principles of shamanism

I work with drums and the powers of nature, with the cyclical mysteries of time, with spirits, with ceremony, with my voice, with night dreams. This is the foundation of my shamanic sessions, where I help people meet their guides, journey through the spirit world, and receive the healing and clarity they're seeking.


Over time I've acquired a large range of tools and techniques, all of them learned through direct, hands-on experience. Most of what I know comes from living and working alongside traditional doctors and healers in Mexico and Guatemala, and also in Canada and Europe.

My practice is rooted in the fundamental principles of shamanism and curanderismo, the traditional medicine from Mexico. I work with pre-Hispanic rituals and simple, homemade remedies. I work with water, with honey, with smoke and candles and herbs. These ancient techniques form the basis of my Mexican energy cleanses, where I help people clear their energy field and restore balance and flow.


"My daughter and I had a session in Tulum with Cinzia last week. She has the kindest most authentic energy I have ever encountered. Cinzia did not ask either of us questions about our lives prior to the healing session and yet for both of us the healing was completely in alignment and resonated with our lives and experiences. Our healing sessions although scheduled back to back were completely different and individualised, I was amazed at Cinzia's deep intuition and ability to connect with our soul without words." — Colleen, USA


Star Medicine

I also work with starlight.

It started many years ago, when I was still practicing Reiki. I began spontaneously channelling star energy from the Pleiades. It became an integral part of my healing practice, and to this day, I offer Pleiadian sessions where I channel star guidance and healing light for people seeking support from star beings and extraterrestrial intelligence. 


Learning from Master Healers

When I lived in Mexico, I worked alongside an incredible healer and herbalist named Columba. I learned so much from her, about medicinal plants, about energy healing, extractions, psychic surgery, curse removal, cleanses. I gained a wealth of hands-on experience that continues to inform my healing practice.


I also learned from the Mayans in Guatemala about ceremonies for purification, initiation, healing, and transitions. I was initiated as a fire priestess and day keeper in the Mayan tradition—an honour I hold with deep reverence. This training allows me to offer Mayan oracle readings and work with the sacred Mayan calendar to provide guidance that's both ancient and precisely relevant to our life in the present. 


Deepening the Work


In Canada, I learned about soul retrieval and psychopomp work, and deepened my practice with shamanic tools that help people navigate grief and transformation. This training has been essential for the  ancestral healing work I do, helping people journey through time to heal their roots and free themselves from inherited patterns.

In Europe, I studied with a shamanic teacher in the UK. And then back in Sardinia after many years, I learned about the medicine of my own people, the traditional remedies and rituals from my ancestral land. The diversity and depth of my experience comes together in the work I do now.


"Cinzia immediately was able to see what was troubling me even before I told her about my ailment. She has an innate ability to go right to the source of any disease or illness and heal on many levels. She was able to remove the energetic cause of my pain within my body, then work on circulating and filling the wound with my life force energy to support and protect the continued healing my body needed. Then finally she gave me invaluable verbal advice on how to prevent the pain returning and live a healthier life." — Simon, Britain


What This Means for You

This means I can meet you wherever you are and draw from a vast toolkit to support what you are seeking and I can guide you safely through experiences that can be deeply transformational. 

After more than 20 years of practice, I’ve learned that healing work isn’t only for moments of crisis. It can be just as powerful when life feels stuck, confusing, or poised on the edge of change. I support people through transitions, crossroads, periods of grief, and those familiar patterns that keep looping, helping release what’s held, restore flow, and reconnect with a sense of wholeness.

That said, you don’t need to be struggling to work with me. Many people come simply because they enjoy the space I create, a place to step out of the noise of daily life, tend to the soul, and reconnect with magic and wonder. Even when things are going well, a session can be an act of self-care, a way to stay aligned with your deeper self and the unseen support around you.


In our work together, you might meet your spirit guides and learn how to collaborate with them in everyday life. You might find clarity when you are unsure which direction to take, release what’s blocking you, or receive guidance that’s both practical and grounded. You may also experience deep rest, time spent in a space that feels safe, nourishing, and gently outside of time. Often, people leave feeling more centred, present, and able to move through life with greater ease.


My sessions are known for being restorative, reassuring, and compassionate.

At times, the work unfolds in deeply mystical ways. People often describe a sense of magic, of being guided through vivid inner landscapes that feel alive and meaningful. Storytelling is part of my practice and I guide you through the journey in a way that feels immersive and enchanting, while always keeping your feet on the ground.


In our work together, you might:

  • Meet your spirit guides and learn how to work with them in your daily life

  • Find clarity when you're at a crossroads or feeling uncertain about which direction to take

  • Release what's blocking you: old patterns, inherited wounds, energy that doesn't belong to you

  • Receive practical guidance that you can actually use, grounded in real wisdom

  • Experience deep rest in a space that feels safe, nourishing, and completely out of time

  • Strengthen your boundaries so you can protect your energy and move through life with more ease

  • Restore your sense of wholeness and feel centred, grounded, and present again


How I Work


One of my key strengths is helping people feel centred, clear, and energetically contained, and establishing strong, healthy boundaries that last beyond the session. The guidance I offer is clear, accurate, and immediately applicable. People consistently tell me they notice tangible shifts in their lives soon after our work together, whether that's feeling lighter, making decisions with more clarity, or experiencing synchronicities that confirm they're on the right path.


"Cinzia's gentle and compassionate nature means relaxing with her is very easy. Her ability to connect with the ancient energies is tangible, and her commitment to delivering the messages I needed, authentically, from the session is deeply appreciated. I always leave glowing & feeling like I've had a huge cosmic hug!" — Andrea, UK


Most of my sessions take place online via video call, as I work with people all over the world. Distance is not an obstacle as energy travels smoothly across space and time zones. So You can be comfortable in your own environment, which often helps you relax more deeply. I also offer in-person sessions when I'm in your area, or remote sessions where I do the work while you rest, and send you notes of what came through.


People often experience the shifts continuing for days after our session. You might have deeper, more vivid dreams. You might feel a sense of lightness and relief. Clarity about decisions often comes soon after. Many people notice they feel more connected to their intuition and guides, and they start seeing synchronicities or signs that confirm the guidance they received.


Ways We Can Work Together

I offer several types of one-on-one sessions, each drawing on different aspects of my training:


An Invitation

If something in these words resonates with you, I'd be honoured to work with you.

You don't need to have everything figured out before you book. You don't need to know exactly what you're looking for. You can bring your questions or concerns, or simply show up and be open to what unfolds. If you're not sure what session might be best for you at this time, get in touch.


Whether you're navigating a difficult transition, seeking guidance at a crossroads, wanting to develop your spiritual gifts, or simply longing to unplug and pamper yourself with spiritual energy and messages, I'll be happy to help. 


My path has taken me across continents and through many traditions, but the essence of what I do is simple: I create a safe, sacred space where you can be held, heard and supported by the beautiful spirit allies that I bring into the room with us. 



You can also read testimonials from people I've worked with to get a sense of what the experience is like.


I look forward to meeting you.


With love and blessings, Cinzia
