As a traditional shaman and psychotherapist, I bring decades of experience bridging ancient practices with modern depth psychology.

Trained in the indigenous wisdom of Ecuador’s Chachi and other communities, deeply rooted in Jungian and Process-Oriented Psychology, my work encourages individuals to reconnect with their organic wisdom and live with authenticity and purpose.

What Clients Say

  • “Working with Julián for the past few years has been an incredible experience. Not only have I felt compassionately listened to, but I have been gently guided to find answers within deep layers I didn’t know I had access to. Julian has a wide range of knowledge, he works with dreams, art, visions; he holds space for growth to occur, and he is insightful into how to approach what is needed…. He does a dance that reminds me of an orchestra conductor, moving from one view to another, pulling bits from the chaos to where we end up feeling a kind of harmony built by understanding.”

  • “Julian has been absolutely key in my process of transforming my mental illness from a punishment to a journey that shows me my fascinating and deep inner parts…He helped me navigate my own magic, supporting me to find within what at first sight looks as a disorder, the hidden skills to connect to other human beings that has been so fundamental in becoming a good therapist myself.”

  • “Therapy with Julian is like traveling in a time tunnel. His subtle guidance brought me closer to the obstacles I avoided facing for so many years, and with his unique assertiveness he coached me to overcome them and reach my goals. Julian is truly magical, combining tenderness, assertiveness, playfulness, and a deep commitment in the journey we take together. In just a few sessions I successfully got what I wanted. The process with him was very revealing, taking me to a deeper level of self-knowledge, and facilitating my personal development in a unique way.”

  • “Deeply trained in and connected to Shamanic practices of the Indigenous people of Ecuador, Julian has worlds of knowledge to share that we who are trained only in modern, Western approaches to psychology so desperately need. Julian is kind and warm and transmits knowledge in practical ways.”

  • “Julián brings a creative, soulful approach to group preparation, ceremony, and integration. He is consistently kind and professional while ensuring everyone feels included. Julián’s decades of training are evident in how he facilitates group ceremony, sharing songs, teachings, and prayers from his earth-based Ecuadorian tradition. I highly recommend Julián as a facilitator and believe anyone who works with him will be significantly enriched by their time with him and receive powerful support for their healing and growth"
