Vanessa Del Castillo, is a Peruvian-born, Australian currently living in NYC.

She is an energy facilitator, shamanic practitioner, designer, Reiki master teacher, mindfulness coach, and Q’ero Nation apprentice. Her work focuses on helping individuals remember who they are beyond the conditioned mind by reestablishing a connection with the Mother Earth and our truest nature.

I craft sacred spaces where you can reconnect with your true nature, embrace the flow of energy, and rekindle your profound bond with nature, the source of your inner power.

Why I do what I do?

Something amazing happens when you start facing your deepest fears and addressing the disconnection within you. It didn’t happen overnight—it’s been a long process of unlearning, deprogramming, and integrating the truest version of myself.

A few years ago, life threw me a massive curveball that changed everything. It was a challenging time, but today I know it was necessary to find myself and align with my true purpose.

I’m a former corporate art director and senior designer with seventeen years of experience in graphic design. I was also exhausted, disconnected from my body, and living on autopilot… Deep down, I knew something was missing. When I awakened to universal consciousness, it triggered a journey of self-discovery and transformation. That experience led to the healing of my soul, my ancestors, and a reconnection with Pachamama (Mother Earth) in Peru, where I was born.

I realised that the more I unlearned old belief systems and societal conditioning, the more I accessed joy, expansion, and freedom of expression. Today, I help individuals do the same, using the tools and techniques that supported my own transformation.

It was written in the stars

Air sign, Sun in Libra, Capricorn Rising and Moon in Gemini, my life was destined to unfold in different parts of the world, to be a communicator and a collaborator.

I was destined to break the cycle and empower not only myself but every woman that came before me. This wild journey, with all its crazy twists and turns, was the road my soul chose to show me all the abundance, rainbows, and stars hiding within me.

My curiosity and eagerness to find answers led my own healing journey. I believe in the power of looking deep within, deconstructing the ego to embrace healing and consciousness.

I flow between three realms…

ENERGETICS

Where I coach, teach, guide and facilitate energy using Reiki, Vibration, Sound,
Access Consciousness and Mindfulness tools. I’m an Access Consciousness practitioner, Mindfulness coach and Reiki master teacher.

SHAMANIC PRACTICES

Where I perform rites and ceremonies rooted in ancient indigenous traditions from the Q’ero nation from the highlands in Peru. I work with the elements, stones and alchemy. I’m a shamanic Q’ero apprentice, Womb Health & Healing facilitator, Yoni Egg facilitator, and Munay-Ki carrier.

CONSCIOUS DESIGN

I create Branding and Art Direction for conscious business owners who wish to birth their brands with intention—aligning with Earth’s rhythms and allowing feminine energy to hold space for their business creation. We are the new generation of business owners, the ones helping to shift the energy of our Earth.

Your medicine to the world is the uniqueness of who you are. Where you come from, what you’ve learned, and the experiences that shaped you. It’s all weaved together”
