The Sympatheia Wellness Method ©️
sympatheia. συμπάθεια: word of Greek origin meaning the interconnectedness and interdependence of all things in the universe.
Hi, I'm Cynthia! I am here to be of service as you re-connect with the Archetypal Guidance, Sacred Mythology and Mystical Symbolism that is available to you in support of your Life's Journey.
My heart-centered intention is to create a nurturing, gentle and safe environment for your creative process and alchemical transformation, while applying the Greek concept of sympatheia for inner wellness.
With profound respect, reverence and gratitude, I integrate and practice the wisdom of global healing traditions.
I was born in Perú, but growing up in so many parts of the world allowed me the opportunity to weave common ground between teachings and cultures.
It also allowed me fluency in the languages of English, Spanish, Portuguese and French, but now my favorite language to practice is the universal language of Symbols—through Cosmos, Cacao and Connection.
In sacred connection with intuitive insight, I honor my training in art, mythology, symbolism, Jungian depth psychology, astrology, herbalism and cacao, and combine it with the power of shamanic healing, ritual and ceremony.
Through deep unified intention and synergistic partnership with you, I hold space as you reset your system to become the alchemist—the artist—of your own life, embarking on your quest to create a mythic life map with a meaningful destiny, and in connection with the deep fulfillment of being human.
"Learn to See. Realize that everything connects to everything else."
~ Leonardo da Vinci
“This is why alchemy exists," the boy said.
"So that everyone will search for his treasure, find it, and then want to
be better than he was in his former life.
Lead will play its role until the world has no further need for lead; and then lead
will have to turn itself into gold.
That's what alchemists do. They show that, when we strive to become
better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too.”
- Paulo Coelho

About Cynthia
Kynthía. Κυνθία: word of Greek origin meaning "woman from Kinthos". Kinthos was a mountain on the island of Delos, where the Greek Goddess of the Moon, Artemis, was believed to have been born. The name Cynthia is linked to the Moon.
I am grateful to be the Founder of Hathor Cacao, a space created to be of service to your Connection with your inner wisdom in alignment with the Cosmos, the heart-opening plant spirit medicine of Cacao and the Shamanic Healing Arts.
I was born in Perú, but grew up living in many parts of the world, including the Americas, Africa, and Europe.
After obtaining my degree in Art History, Mythology, and Symbolism from The American University of Paris, France, I worked in the New York City art world for 20+ years.
The year 2020 brought me the special opportunity to reconnect with my Peruvian ancestry and be trained by Dr. Alberto Villoldo, Founder of The Four Winds Light Body School, to become a Certified Practitioner of Andean Shamanic Energy Medicine.
In 2021, I continued my studies in depth psychology via the Centre of Applied Jungian Studies. I also obtained my Medicinal Plants certification from Cornell University and channeled my passion for the alchemical healing power of plant spirit medicine into the study of the heart-opening wisdom of Ceremonial Grade Cacao.
I completed my Cacao Facilitator Training through KAKAO and The Mayan Wisdom Project.
Shamanic Healing, Ritual and Ceremony became my favorite areas of devotion and practice.
In 2022, following my lifelong passion and study of the Cosmos, I aligned with the alchemical hermetic teachings of Matthew Kenney at Ancient Astrology and Jocelyn Star Feather at Sacred Planet. I then also began my service as an Archetypal Natal Chart guide via Sacred Planet.
The year 2023 allowed me the special opportunity to travel to sacred sites in Egypt and Perú with Jocelyn Star Feather, further reconnecting me with the ancient memory of my sacred calling.
The initiations and magic that took place throughout the temples in Egypt were complemented by a powerful reconnection to the Andes Mountains of my childhood.
From those experiences, three words in Quechua kept coming to my heart and mind:
Yachay ~ Munay ~ Llanqay
Right Thought ~ Right Feeling ~ Right Action
Wisdom ~ Love ~ Service
Mind ~ Body ~ Soul
Cosmos ~ Cacao ~ Connection
And through this Alchemical Trinity of Creation, Hathor Cacao was born.
Today, I enjoy being of service via one-on-one alchemical client sessions, and lovingly collaborating with friends in the healing arts to create monthly online alchemical New Moon Cosmos, Cacao, and Connection Circles.
It is also an honor and a privilege to be an in-person Cacao Facilitator and Ceremonialist at Sacred Sites, where I am having an opportunity to guide retreats locally in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, and internationally in places like Egypt, France, Guatemala and my beloved home country of Perú.
