SESSION
-
This work is for those navigating everyday struggles—fatigue, overwhelm, anxiety, worry, irritability, and emotional heaviness—as well as those caught in deeper, more persistent patterns. This includes illness, disordered eating, disrupted sleep, and addictive behaviors, alongside the weight of abusive relationships, unhealed trauma, unresolved grief, and the loss of self-esteem, motivation, and joy.
-
Designed for those willing to dive into their depth and emerge transformed—seeking expanded awareness, ancient knowledge, and mastery over intrinsic faculties. This work utilizes an individualized mix of techniques, rituals, and insights drawn from diverse spiritual traditions and modern neuroscience.
-
For those ready to earn a thriving living through meaningful work—whether you are building something of your own as a healer, founder, freelancer, or artist, or seeking a new professional direction. We work to sharpen your strategic clarity and reclaim a stronger sense of agency in your career.
-
A path for those seeking deeper connection with a partner—physically, energetically, and spiritually—or healing the wounds of a relationship in transition. From redefining a shared path to helping former lovers uncouple consciously and build a stable alliance for their children, this work restores clarity and harmony to the bond.
-
Supporting mothers navigating the foundational transitions of pregnancy, birth, and early bonding, alongside the profound weight of the primary caretaker role. This path also guides mothers and their adolescent or adult children as they work together to recalibrate relational patterns—honoring the shift into adulthood to nurture a resilient, lifelong connection.
-
For those navigating a confrontation with mortality who seek to meet this passage with awareness rather than resistance. This work provides orientation at the threshold, viewing death as a sacred movement in the flow of manifesting and unmanifesting. We focus on letting go consciously rather than being torn away—releasing the body and leaving the world with dignity and calm at the end of this cycle.
Paths
build the life
you were built for
From the moment you arrived, the world started shaping you. It’s like wearing a shoe that’s two sizes too small—you adapt, you adjust, and you keep walking, but the friction is constant. It hurts.
Pain is a symptom. It is not the problem; it points to a problem. Like an infant, it’ll only get louder until tended to.
A wound is an opening—a gateway to the depths. Beneath everything you’ve learned, inherited, and absorbed lies something that cannot be changed. The more we honor it, the less we struggle.
Essence cannot be trapped—it is designed to expand. My work is to help you uncover it and build a life that grows from it.
It’s time to reverse the flow: live from the inside out.
All things are possible. Who you are is limited only by who you think you are.

I’M ANA – A GUIDE IN SELF-DISCOVERY
AND AUTHENTIC SELF-PROJECTION
My path has been a bridge between two worlds. I spent years navigating international law and global policy across the US and Europe, working alongside the OECD and the UN—all while immersed in spiritual practice. A Kundalini awakening dissolved the boundary between those worlds, pulling me deeper into contemplative inquiry. In time, I trained as a Yoga teacher in India and went on to teach and coach.
I was born in Uruguay, where I studied Christian theology. I later engaged with Pagan and Shamanic traditions in the United States, and Islam and Sufism in Turkey and Germany. I regularly travel to India to learn Tantra, Vedanta, Yoga, and Ayurveda; to China, Thailand, and Cambodia to explore Taoism, Buddhism, and Zen; and to Egypt and Greece to study Kemetism, Hermeticism, and Hellenism.
As a child, I hoped to find one tradition that contained all the answers. But along the way, ancient paths and modern disciplines revealed themselves as threads of a hidden fabric. Like Isis, who travels the world gathering the scattered pieces of Osiris to make him whole again, my work uncovers and weaves those threads.
What you believe yourself to be is likely just a reflection shaped by the gaze of others. But beneath that borrowed identity, you have always known who you are.
Humans have always sought the same things: peace, strength, clarity, joy, and freedom. As tool-makers, we have built physical instruments to master the material world and spiritual ones to navigate the unseen.
These truths are encoded in sacred books, ancient rituals, and modern inquiry—all different languages for the same human needs. Listening closely, we can assemble the tools that work, peel back the layers, and reveal the form inside the stone.
THERE IS MORE TO YOU
THAN WHAT THEY TOLD YOU
-
Ānandamaya Kośa (Bliss Sheath)
The Plane: This is the Source—the first level of individuation where universal consciousness becomes you, adopting a specific blueprint (logos) and purpose (dharma).
The Practice: Uncover the baseline of who you are before the world told you who to be and experience the power and freedom of your potential. By clearing the cognitive, psychological, energetic, and physical static that obscures this core, we allow your original intelligence to drive your life again
-
Vijñānamaya Kośa (Wisdom Sheath)
The Plane: This is the Interface—the upstream channel to the knowledge you were born with, to the wisdom of the Source, the Self, the Akasha, the Void.
The Practice: Separate the “learned mind” (internalized concepts) from the “wise mind” (innate knowledge), and the “low mind” (thoughts and emotions) from the “high mind” (direct observation). Through the practice of Jnana—shifting the mind through direct realization—we reconnect you with intuition, natural discernment, and symbolic intelligence to navigate life from clarity rather than conditioning.
-
Manomaya Kośa (Mental Sheath)
The Plane: This is the Program—the generative loop where thoughts and emotions feed each other and build the scripts that run your life.
The Practice: Debug your system through a mix of absorption techniques—such as meditation, visualization, trance states, and sensory control—with approaches informed by trauma healing, archetypical patterning, neuroplasticity, subconscious reprogramming, dream work, inner-child work, and shadow work. By stabilizing the mind and regulating the nervous system, we de-escalate the inner struggle and restore choice in thought, feeling, and behavior.
-
Prāṇamaya Kośa (Energy Sheath)
The Plane: This is the Current—the kinetic power supply and subtle engine that stores and regulates the life force (prāṇa, qi, rlung, ka, pneuma, spiritus, wakan), bringing the system online.
The Practice: Activate and restore energy flow to move past exhaustion and move through the day with ease. We restore your energy flow through chakra healing, mantra and yantra practices, Yoga Nidra, deep relaxation, somatic awareness, and precise energetic activation—complemented by long-distance Reiki.
-
Annamaya Kośa (Food Sheath)
The Plane: This is the Framework—the densest expression of your consciousness and the physical anchor of all other layers, shaping your capacity for thought, feeling, and action.
The Practice: Strengthen your system through structural integrity and rhythmic alignment. Tailored nutritional guidance and sleep-healing techniques help you balance eating and sleeping patterns, while somatic introspection and individualized yoga practices (āsana, bandha, mudra) improve your condition and release pain. We support health with timeless natural remedies drawn from Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, and Hermetic Herbalism.
-
Vyavahāra (Social Sheath)
The Plane: This is the Nexus—the feedback loop where your inner world takes shape through relationships, work, and creative expression, and where you gather the raw materials to fuel your system and the experiences to feed your mindset.
The Practice: Translate inner clarity into outer agency. Set healthy boundaries, leave oppressive relationships and situations, and create new bonds and opportunities. Through a mix of strategic, entrepreneurial, and communication skills—including branding, negotiation, incentive analysis, public speaking, visibility, and leadership—we ensure your external projection reflects your inner truth.
