Our mission
At Spirit of the Inca, our mission is to guide individuals beyond their conditioned beliefs to uncover their true, authentic story. Through ancient wisdom, healing practices, and sacred ceremonies, we help people reconnect with their deepest gifts and step into their power. Rooted in the knowing that love lives within us all, our work is about coming home—to ourselves, to each other, and to the sacred. We are here to support those who feel called to make a difference in the world but have yet to discover how. This is a journey of transformation—awakening authenticity, purpose, and the love that has always been within.

FOUNDER, SPIRIT OF THE INCA SCHOOL OF ENERGY MEDICINE
Hello, I’m Chris. I’ve spent the last 25 years helping people from across the world heal their mind, body, and soul and rediscover their sacred journey towards a life of wholeness and beauty. I’m honoured you’re here now.
My healers journey began, leading me to explore all kinds of modalities, with counselling, yoga, and dance and then finally to shamanic medicine, where I trained directly under Alberto Villoldo. This inspired me to develop a holistic training that blends the ancient with the modern.

Every aspect of our work invites you to feel more alive, connected, and at ease in your mind and heart. There are opportunities to join us at any level of engagement, from joining an online class from the comfort of your own home, to experiencing a healing session, to joining our training, or walking with us in the land that birthed this tradition – Peru’s Sacred Valley. A warm welcome!

jOIN US IN PERU
This ‘Sacred Journey’ is a highlight of our calendar. It’s an extra-ordinary and unmissable opportunity to connect with the land and the people that birthed this tradition.
free resources
There are lots of free resources to enjoy – from meditations on Soundcloud, to our Podcast and our YouTube channel, plus our free newsletter. No charge – it’s on us!
SHADOW WORK
For us, Shadow work isn’t about things we don’t like about ourselves – it’s what we can’t see; unconscious habits, thoughts, and other patterns that may be running our life.
FIND A PRACTITIONER
We are developing a directory of the School’s most experienced practitioners from around the world, to provide local links and connections to the services that we offer as a school.
MUNAY KI
The Munay Ki are nine energetic transmissions that are downloaded into our luminous energy field. In May, our Q’ero shamans will be visiting Romania to share the rites with us.
NATURE CONNECTION
The core routines of nature connection are a core element of our Medicine Wheel training, helping us feel reconnected to self, others and the world around us.
ADVANCED TRAINING
We are always growing our medicine, and our Masterclasses (Shadow Work, Space Clearing and Advanced Practitioner) are there as we become more experienced and skilful.
MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME
The support offered by Mentorship plays a crucial role in our training programmes. The support of an elder who has walked the path many times before has proved invaluable to our students.
Get started by experiencing it for yourself!
The journey of 1000 miles starts with the first step. You don’t have to make a risky, long-term commitment to shift your destiny in powerful ways. In just one healing session, we’ll identify an old story your soul is ready to release, align your energy centers, and discover a new personal map to step into who you’re ready to become.
I’m Ready To Take A First Step“Life Changing!
A lot of programs out there talk about rediscovering who you are and saying yes to change. But they don’t really give you a map for how to find your way from there. What Chris and her team taught me was not just how to find my new path, but actually align with it day-to-day in the midst of all kinds of stress, responsibilities, and uncertainties. I have so many reliable tools that have stood the test of time, including my Bands of Power and my archetypes. No matter how dark my life may get, this medicine is like a shaft of golden sunlight helping me continue my hero’s journey. Thank you Chris for bringing this into my life!”

What other CLIENTS say
In Their Words, Not Ours
This medicine gave me the start to life. My real life. The life that fills you with joy inside. The life lived in passion, in crazy courage, beyond all constraints and limitations, in total presence, in beauty and especially love…that expansive, all-encompassing love, one with all that is.
