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.

 

Testimonials

Narcisa Peña, translated from Spanish, Cuenca, Ecuador

“When I first met Silvana, the doctors had said there was nothing else they could do for me, that only God could save my life. After working together quite intensely for a couple of years, the doctors could no longer find the disease. That was 7 years ago. I was not supposed to be around by now. Yet, I’m healthy and going strong in every way. I still follow the lifestyle Silvana taught me to live well. I don’t deviate from it anymore. Why would I? Being alive is my treat! She always reminds me that I healed myself — with God’s help and blessing.

“I have been working with Silvana for around four years now. During this time, she has skillfully helped me work through multiple personal upheavals, challenges, and transitions in my life. She listens very deeply and compassionately and has been open to helping me explore anything I bring to her, no matter how big or small. She has always made me feel safe and supported during our time working together. Silvana has a wide scope of knowledge of various supportive resources and has frequently recommended applicable books, podcasts, or Ted talks which have been so helpful!
