Twenty years of clinical work have taught me one thing above all: the psyche knows the way. My role is not to direct it β but to create the conditions where it can move. That takes depth, patience, and a very different kind of listening.
If you're not careful, this will make you thrive.
Transpersonal psychology holds the full range of human experience β the mystical, the somatic, the symbolic β as valid maps of who you are. Not pathology to be corrected. Information to be read.
The body leads. We follow sensation and emotion alongside insight β because the body often knows long before the mind catches up.
Twenty years of practice across shamanic traditions in Latin America and Europe inform this work. Healing has always been relational. That hasn't changed.
Three ways to begin.
Each offering is designed for a different stage of readiness and commitment.
Discovery Session
An open hour with no fixed agenda. You bring whatever is present β a question, a feeling, a crossroads. We follow the thread. No commitment required.
Transpersonal Diagnosis
A structured session that maps patterns, defenses, and underlying orientation. Includes a 90-minute deep session plus a 30-minute integration call one week later.
Sustained Accompaniment
Four sessions per month in a sustained container. The work deepens over time β patterns surface, threads are followed, transformation unfolds. Priority scheduling included.

"I'm not here to give you answers. I'm here as a witness to your own discovery of limitless love and wisdom within yourself."β Damian OrvaΓ±anos
This work is for you ifβ¦
- You've done talk therapy and feel like something essential is still untouched
- You're navigating a genuine spiritual emergence or dark night of the soul
- You sense that what looks like a problem is actually an invitation
- You want to work with someone who won't pathologize mystical experience
- You're in a life transition and need depth, not just coping strategies
- You're ready to be honest β with yourself and in the room
- You want accompaniment, not advice
This is not for you ifβ¦
- You're in acute psychiatric crisis requiring clinical intervention
- You're looking for a quick fix or symptom management only
- You prefer a structured CBT or protocol-based approach
- You want someone to tell you what to do
- You're not yet ready to look inward
- You need services covered by insurance
Common questions.
Both. We begin in whatever language feels most natural to you. Many people find that certain things surface more easily in one language than the other β we work with that rather than against it.
Both. Sessions are available online via video call, and in person in Playa del Carmen. If you're local, in-person work is available on request. Online sessions require a stable connection and a private, quiet space.
The Discovery Session is open and exploratory β we follow what's present. The Diagnosis is more structured: it produces a clear psychological map of patterns, defenses, and underlying orientation. Think of Discovery as conversation; Diagnosis as cartography.
Yes, and this is often the natural path. The Discovery Session gives us both a sense of whether the work is a fit. If it is, ongoing accompaniment is discussed from there. There is no pressure in either direction.
Four 60-minute sessions per month, held on a consistent weekly rhythm. Priority access to any newly opened slots. Brief check-ins between sessions via written message when something urgent arises. Sessions do not roll over to the following month.
The simplest indicator: if you read this page and something in you said yes before your mind had a chance to evaluate it β that response is worth trusting. The Discovery Session exists precisely to verify or revise that first intuition in a low-stakes way.
Yes. Sessions can be rescheduled up to 6 hours before the scheduled start time. Cancellations or changes made after that window are forfeited. This boundary exists to protect the container and the time held for you.
You schedule your own sessions directly β no back-and-forth coordination required. After completing your purchase, you'll access a booking link where you choose your preferred slot from the available openings shown in the calendar above.
Boost your process. Daily qigong and meditation. Live. No distractions.
The Digital Dojo is a live online space for qigong, meditation, and oracular insight β designed to deepen the inner work between sessions, or to begin it before you're ready for one-on-one therapy.
