PRIVATE SESSIONS
Silvana Spanò is an Argentinian-Canadian clinical counsellor, holistic health practitioner, writer and educator with a BA in Psychology from Canada, a Master’s in Counselling Psychology from the U.S., and a long-list of additional training in holistic health and healing techniques (physical and non-physical). As a health coach and practitioner, Silvana combines her formal studies with a hands-on training & apprenticeship in indigenous holistic health care. Silvana integrates nutritional counselling to both physical and psychological/cognitive care. She attributes the beginning of her understanding about natural health to her naturopath, the brilliant Dr. Jonn Matsen, ND, of North Vancouver, Canada. She is especially interested in women’s health and wellbeing — including emotional, cognitive and hormonal health. As a counsellor, Silvana focuses on guiding the client to find empowerment and inner liberation from perceived limitations. She’s a strong believer in personal sovereignty, and the power of inner growth at any stage of life. Silvana has a special interest in psychospiritual, social and cultural issues. Her chosen modalities include techniques from the new field of Energy Psychology, shamanic therapies, nutrition, detoxification, and more. She is a passionate teacher, counsellor, and health consultant with an unwavering belief in the holistic nature of life. She is a trained and experienced practitioner of Ama-Deus, Reiki, ThetaHealing, Psych-K, Mayan Therapies and other shamanic therapies. Silvana is one of less than twenty instructors in the world for the healing art of the indigenous Guarani people of South America (a powerful 6000 year-old tradition known as Ama-Deus). Silvana believes in merging heart and knowledge to create the solutions our world needs today.
WORKSHOP
Exploring Plant Medicine Safely: A Holistic Seminar for the Uninitiated Westerner
This is an updated, summarized version of a full 1-day seminar Silvana designed and has taught in Ecuador for many years starting in 2012 — when South America became very popular as a destination for exploring plant medicine. Silvana´s own personal experience with plants and other Nature elements spans over 20 years. All this time, she’s been consciously straddling the border between academic studies and first-hand ethnographic work in holistic health and healing. In this workshop, Silvana is ready to share insights learned along the way that relate to the traditions, context and practices of plant shamanism to help make your explorations safer and more beneficial to your overall well being. Workshop length: half-day.
