I was born in 1975 in Ecuador where I spent the first 21 years of my life. Since I was very young I knew that I had the gift of the mediumship. As a child I realized that something was different in me, although I didn't know how to identify it. In 1998 I immigrated to Switzerland, where I developed professionally as a sworn translator for the justice authorities of various cantons. In Zurich I created, in 2019 until 2023 also an immersive experience through Airbnb where I showed the history, the crimes and the paranormal world of the city. I have been working in this field since September 2004. Although my professional development was always very good, I knew that something was missing in my life, that there was a piece of me that needed to be discovered. In the year 2020 I had the opportunity to attend the Medialitätschule (Technical School for Mediumship Development) in Bern, where I was finally able to bring order to this ability, learn to communicate in a more orderly way with the spiritual world. The studies ended in October 2022, then in November 2022 I visited a seminar at Arthur Findley College in Mountfitchet Essex in England, where I had the opportunity to deepen my knowledge. Between Summer 2022 and Winter 2022 I visited several workshops to improve methods of healing and communication with animals. In September 2023 I attended a Mediumship workshop at the Arthur Conan Doyle, this Event was led by Medium: Tony Stockwell. Since September 2023, I am studying for a Diploma in Herbology at the Royal Botanical Gardens School in Edinburgh. In this way I want to integrate herbalism as a complement in my spiritual work. These studies will end in September 2025 but I will continue guiding beyond that date.

Overview of your Edinburgh tour

On this walking tour, you will discover Dean Village, a place where time seems to slow down and the city quietly changes its rhythm. We will walk through streets hidden from the modern world, exploring a lesser-known part of Edinburgh shaped by water, work, and human stories since the 11th century. Along the way, you will enjoy beautiful scenery and excellent opportunities for photography, with stone houses, bridges, and the Water of Leith creating a truly atmospheric setting. As we explore, I will share the village’s history, symbols, and subtle stories that make Dean Village feel so different from the rest of the city. Many visitors describe it as peaceful yet deeply evocative, a place where past and present quietly coexist. This tour is ideal for those who enjoy history, atmosphere, and discovering places that reveal their character gently rather than loudly. Sometimes, the truth of a place is not only what we see, but what we sense.
