My Journey as a Healer

A Healer's Journey — Who I Am and How I Work

I grew up in Sardinia, an island that still carries its old ways. As a child, I had contact with healers, real ones, from an ancient tradition, though I never imagined, not for a single moment, that I would one day become one myself.

But looking back, the signs were always there. Even as a young person, I used to hear the voice of spirits, had prophetic dreams and would put my hands on people to offer relief.

My formal journey as a healer began in my twenties, with a spiritual awakening that cracked everything open. It led me to Reiki, and for seven years I practiced and taught as a Reiki master. During that time, I threw myself into everything I could find: reflexology, aromatherapy, Swedish massage, crystal healing. I trained in Thai massage in Thailand, drawn by the depth of its ancient healing lineage. I was curious about the body, about how energy moves through it, about where the physical and the invisible meet.

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 along the way. I was fascinated by plants, by natural medicine, by the way knowledge passed through hands and ceremony rather than textbooks.

Traditional healers seemed to fall into my path as if by magic. I had experiences I couldn't explain, encounters that showed me, beyond any doubt, that there is far more to this world than most of us are taught to believe.

For years after that, healing sat in the background. I became a mother, I had day jobs. I trained as a permaculture teacher, worked in community projects and environmental activism. Healing was something I did on the side, that I was almost afraid to mention publicly. Then, when I moved to Mexico, the earth-based and the spiritual practice came beautifully and organically together. Healing became my life's work, and that's what I've been doing ever since.

The Shamanic Path

Learning never ends. Over the years my practice shifted from Reiki into other modalities, becoming more and more aligned with the principles of shamanism.

Most of what I know comes from living and working alongside traditional doctors and healers in Mexico and Guatemala over the last twenty years, as well as in Canada and Europe. My training was extensive, and very tough hands-on learning at the best of times. They were intensive years of building mutual trust with indigenous communities.

In Mexico, I worked alongside an extraordinary healer and herbalist who taught me medicinal plants, psychic surgery, curse removal, and energy cleansing. I am forever grateful to all my Mexican teachers for the wealth of experience they passed on. My practice became rooted in Mexican curanderismo, the traditional healing method born from the syncretism of Christian prayer and pre-Hispanic ritual. I work with water, invocations, honey, smoke, candles, and herbs. These form the basis of my Mexican energy cleanses, where I help people clear their field and restore balance and flow.

In Guatemala, I learned from the Mayans about ceremony: for purification, initiation, healing, and life 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 work with the sacred Mayan calendars to offer guidance that is both ancient and grounded in the texture of modern life, through Mayan Natal Chart Readings, oracle readings, and Traditional Fire Ceremonies.

In Canada, I learned advanced dream work, soul retrieval and psychopomp work, and deepened my shamanic toolkit for helping people navigate grief and transformation. This became essential to the ancestral healing I now offer, helping people journey through time to heal their roots and free themselves from inherited patterns.

And in Sardinia, I returned to my own medicine, the traditional remedies and rituals of my ancestral land. One of my mentors is the last living water priestess of a very ancient tradition.

Nowadays, I work with drums and the powers of nature, with the cyclical mysteries of time, with spirits, ceremony, my voice, and 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.

Star Medicine

I also work with starlight.

Many years ago, I began spontaneously channelling energy from the Pleiades. A Mayan teacher helped me understand the nature of what I was receiving, and taught me how to consciously work with the star nations to bring down a powerful flow of healing and guidance. This became an integral part of my practice, and to this day I offer Pleiadian sessions for people seeking contact with extraterrestrial intelligence, to retrieve their spirit guides from the stars and receive information about their cosmic ancestry.

"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 session and yet for both of us the healing was completely in alignment and resonated with our experiences. Our 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

What This Means for You

I've spent over twenty years gathering this knowledge, not from books, but from living it, alongside the people who carry these traditions. What that gives me is a vast and genuinely varied toolkit, and the experience to know which of those tools can help you in any given moment.

I've worked with hundreds of people from all over the world through transitions, rites of passage, periods of grief, energetic release, and the healing journey to restore wholeness. But you don't need to be struggling to work with me. Many people come simply because they enjoy the space, a place to step out of the noise, tend to the soul, and reconnect with a sense of magic and wonder. Even when life is going well, a session can be an act of deep self-care.

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're unsure which direction to take, release what's been blocking you, or receive guidance that's both practical and grounded. You may also simply experience rest, time spent in a space that feels safe, nourishing, and completely removed from the weight of ordinary worries.

One of the things I'm known for is helping people feel centred, clear, and energetically contained, with boundaries that last well beyond the session itself. People consistently tell me they notice real shifts soon afterwards: feeling lighter, making decisions with greater ease, or experiencing synchronicities that confirm they're moving in the right direction.

"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 an issue and heal on many levels, removing the energetic cause of a long-term problem, then circulating and filling the wound with life force energy. Finally, she gave me invaluable advice on how to prevent the discomfort returning." — Simon, Britain

My sessions are 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 what I do, and I guide you through the journey in a way that feels immersive and enchanting, while always keeping your feet on the ground.

In 2024, I moved to the Findhorn Ecovillage in Scotland, a spiritual community I had been visiting for many years. Living here has been both nourishing and grounding, a natural home for this work.

Ways We Can Work Together

I offer several one-on-one sessions, each drawing on a different thread of my training. Shamanic Sessions take you to meet your spirit guides and journey through the spirit world for healing and insight. Pleiadian Healing brings in channelled star guidance and light. Ancestral Healing travels through time to address inherited patterns at the root. The Mexican Energy Cleanse clears your field and restores balance. Mayan Oracle Readings and Natal Chart Readings offer guidance through sacred Mayan cosmology. The Focused Intention Technique works specifically with emotional balance and trauma relief. Most sessions take place online via video call, as distance is no obstacle and energy travels easily across time zones. I also offer in-person sessions when we're in the same area, and remote sessions where I do the work on your behalf and send you notes of what came through.

"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, is deeply appreciated. I always leave glowing and feeling like I've had a huge cosmic hug!" — Andrea, UK

An Invitation

If something here has resonated with you, I'd be honoured to work with you.

You don't need to have everything figured out before you reach out. You don't need to know exactly what you're looking for. You can bring your questions, or simply show up and be open to what unfolds. 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 I bring into the room with us.

With love and blessings, Cinzia
