- I was born in Peru into a family steeped in the traditions of natural medicine. One of my great grandfathers was a locally celebrated healer, who used plants and herbs to treat patients in rural Ica, Peru. Fascinated by his legend, at age 18 I found myself drawn to a renowned medicine man in the Rain Forest, who started me on my life long training (and searches) in the world of natural healing and body work.
- For two and a half years I lived in Holland, there studying mainly holistic body therapy.
- When I moved to New York City in 1994 I began to work with Gina Michaels at “Millefleur”, an alternate medicine health spa in Tribeca. There I enhanced my understanding of intuitive energy work, adding acupressure and reflexology, learning, through touch and vibration to identify bodily afflictions – and possibilities – and learning, through the same means how to affect and modify them.
- Soon after that experience “Allure Magazine” identified me as the Best Masseur in New York City. (A much appreciated citation, probably influenced by some of my famed clients: Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Donatella Versace, and Andrew Lloyd Webber.)
- And after that came my Journey with Astrology. It was an awakening but an inevitable one, observing how it had become a tool for people to make better balanced decisions in life’s cycles. I was shown how the energy created by the positions of two planets, whether by transit, or natal, mirrors the differing possibilities and levels of consciousness, as expressed in the particular lifestyle reached in someone’s current evolution. I said inevitable awakening, above, because the positive energy of Jupiter intercepting my Sun Sign in the 8th house had taught me about my own cycles and possibilities.
- Since then, my teachers and mentors have included Melba Ortiz, Kathy Rose, Shirley Softer and Noel Tyl (Master Program for Astrologers), and Lee Lehman (STA Medical Practitioner’s Course).
- Among numerous seminars and classes have been important ones in Baltimore, Washington, New York City, Lima (Peru), Madrid (Spain), and UAC in Chicago.

- My therapeutic regimen is a unique restorative one combining massage, Astrology, cupping, a shiatsu machine, magnetic therapy, detox liver cleansing, and natural shamanistic treatments (acquired during my Peruvian rain forest training).
- I use Astrology to reinvigorate my clients’ mental/emotional balance, guiding their recognition and understanding of choices and life missions.
- And that is my Mission: to help others to restore that balance, plus the strength and vitality of the body, by means of the disciplines and techniques I have learned and absorbed (and others yet to come – to teach is to learn!).
