About Shaman Vilma
Vilma comes from a long line of Peruvian Andean Shamans on both sides of her family. She was called into this tradition even before she was born, when her mother was struck by lightning while she was pregnant with Vilma.
When Vilma was only 4 months old, another lightning bolt struck her home. It was then that her grandparents said the baby had a very important mission to accomplish and she was raised in an environment to learn from master shamans.
Vilma started her path as a “curandera” (healer) at the age of 12, reading coca leaves and telling people through her intuition what they had to do in order to heal themselves, often with amazing results. At age 22, Vilma was asked to accompany the Dalai Lama on his trip to Machu Picchu.
People come to see Vilma from all over the world and wait in line with the locals who want healing. She lives with her husband Sam and two beautiful daughters near Cusco, in the town of Huasao, which locals call the town of the witches.
Because Vilma speaks English (a rarity in the Andean Shamanic world) she is able to share her wisdom of the ancient traditions with those who do not speak Spanish or Quechua. We are honored to be able to work with this amazing woman and have her support.
