nice to meet you
Hey there, I’m Isa —a soul on a mission to blend science, spirituality, and a touch of magic to help you manifest the life you've always envisioned. If you’re looking for someone who’s walked the path of transformation (balancing between barefoot freedom and designer shoes, across four continents), then you’ve found your guide.
The Science Behind the Spiritual
Before diving into the world of spirituality, I laid a strong foundation in science. With a Master’s in Biomedical Engineering and two parents as medical doctors, I grew up surrounded by scientific rigor and curiosity. This unique background gives me a deep understanding of both the body and mind, allowing me to bridge the gap between scientific principles and spiritual practices. For me, true transformation comes when science and spirituality work together in harmony.
From Corporate Life to Mastering Manifestation
Once upon a time, I was on the fast track to a high paced corporate life, complete with boardroom meetings and power suits. But deep down, I knew there was more. After finishing my MBA and realizing that success wasn’t just about titles or a corner office, I took a leap—a really big one. I traded spreadsheets for spiritual wisdom and and self-development practices grounded in both science and soul and went all-in on manifestation.
So… What Have I Actually Manifested?
Most people want to manifest one of the following things: Love, Health & Wealth. And I am no exception. Of course, spiritual evolution is definitely also on the top of my list.
I’ve manifested a thriving business that gives me the freedom to travel to the most exotic locations, focus on my spiritual development, and live life on my own terms.
In addition, I’ve manifested not one, but three homes—one in the serene landscapes of Bali, another in the vibrant streets of Barcelona, and a peaceful retreat in the coast of Mexico - yes, you guessed it right, I am a big fan of beaches.
These homes aren’t just properties; they’re reflections of my inner journey. They remind me daily that the external world is a mirror of our inner state, and with the right mindset, we can create the life we desire.
Speaking of journeys, I’ve been through quite a few myself. From overcoming an eating disorder to healing deep family wounds, I’ve learned that true transformation starts from within. It’s not always easy (trust me, I’ve had my fair share of breakdowns), but the rewards? Life-changing.
Bufo Alvarius: The Journey of a Lifetime
Let’s talk Bufo Alvarius. This isn’t just a job for me; it’s a calling. I’ve dedicated my life to working with this sacred medicine in its purest, natural form. I’ve witnessed firsthand how it can crack open the heart, dissolve the ego, and connect us to the divine. It’s not a path for everyone, but for those ready to dive deep, it’s nothing short of miraculous.
Why I Cherish Personal Connection Over Group Ceremonies
I’m a firm believer in the power of community, but I’ll be honest—group ceremonies aren’t my thing. Don’t get me wrong; I respect the sacredness of shared space, but the idea of energy transference in large groups gives me an icky feeling. I prefer one-on-one sessions where the energy is pure, focused, and all about you.
Why Work with Me
So, why should you trust me as your guide? Because I’ve been where you are. I know the yearning for something more, the frustration of feeling stuck, and the excitement of discovering your true potential. I’m here to walk with you every step of the way, blending my unique mix of spiritual wisdom, scientific knowledge, and personal experience to help you create a life that’s not just successful, but deeply fulfilling.
Ready to Transform? Let’s Do This.
If you’re ready to step into your power, manifest your wildest dreams, and live a life that’s authentically yours, I’m here for it. Let’s make some magic together.
