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.
