I am passionate about being a loving guide for those who are looking for openings, meaningful resolutions, and deep transformative healing. As a shamanic practitioner, I create a safe and sacred space for those who are ready to commit to their own personal growth. Working with the most ancient forms of stone medicine and shamanism has been my own path to a more harmonious and supportive existence, and it is a great honor to be a facilitator of this sacred medicine.

This was the day when I inherited the energies of my Quechua name Veronica Hucan Wilca. Historically, she is known as the last great Q'ero female paqo(shaman) who could bridge the heavens and the earth. Before the Spanish invasion, she left her energies in a mountain that lives in the Sacred Valley. During traditional ceremonies, the Quechua people sing to her for her sacred tears of compassion and healing,. The mountain's glacier sends clear flowing rivers through rich valleys, making it possible for purple flowers to bloom on the mountain, which is seen as her fertile body by the native people.
