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.
I wasn’t born in a spiritual or shamanic household. I was born in Lima, Peru, I’ve lived in Brazil, Australia and now NYC and I have a corporate background in strategy, graphic design and art direction. It was when we tried to have a baby when things changed. A few years ago, life threw me a massive curveball that changed everything. It was a challenging time, but today I know it was needed to find myself and align with my truest purpose.
I was exhausted for so long, disconnected from my body… Deep down, I always knew something was missing….I just kept the autopilot going.
Years of doctors, diets, surgeries, mental health issues, spiritual awakening and inner healing shifted my consciousness, it triggered a journey of self-discovery and transformation. That journey led to the healing of my soul, my ancestors, and a reconnection with indigenous traditions from my country. I started learning from the Q’ero elders from the Andes and the Shipibo-Conibo maestros from the Amazon rainforest.
The Light Arts was created from the alchemy of my own journey of self-transformation. A multi-passion business where design, meet earth based spirituality, shamanism and empowerment.
I learnt that the more I released old belief systems and societal conditioning from my mind, the more I was able to access 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 in the darkness that it all started, within the depths of my own womb. I descended into my underworld to transmute energy and heal myself, and I returned with the brightest light to share with the world. That is the truth—it was my womb that awakened my soul’s conscious remembrance”
–Vanessa
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’m a multi-passioned individual
In my work, I weave intuitive guidance, energy facilitation, and shamanism. I walk alongside those who are ready to transform—who feel the pull toward a new way of being, one that is in deep alignment with their true nature, the Earth, and a higher consciousness.
I also support conscious business owners in bringing their visions to life, mentoring them in brand strategy, design and coaching.
My method is who I am—it’s all woven together. Energy, coaching, my years in the corporate world as a businesswoman (thank you, Capricorn rising!), and my inner fire of creation, guided by my connection to nature and my shamanic path under the Q’ero lineage of the Andes.
I share how I got here, with those who feel the call. For the ones ready to remember, to reweave, to return to wholeness.

“Everything you are seeking elsewhere is within you.
Your contribution to the world is the uniqueness of who you are. The unique tapestry of where you come from, what you’ve learned, and the experiences that shaped you. It’s all weaved together. My mission is to help you access that”
