"I believe that healing comes from connection with nature".
It is through this close connection to the plants, to the land, and to the people who tend to the gardens and to the wild and sacred places with nature that true transformation occurs.
If we are seeking greater levels of health and consciousness, we must look. We must look to our relationship with life, to nature,
and how we can reclaim and return to the true nature within us.
It is through taking into our bodies a part of the wild and beautiful gifts of nature that we come home to a sense of
belonging to this earth

Gisela (48) – Biography
Global Exploration: At age 19, I embarked on travels across America, South America, Europe, and Egypt, immersing myself in diverse cultures and communities to learn about natural healing.
Native Medicine: In the soaring heights of Argentina, my cherished homeland, I have been blessed with the guidance of a descendant from the Comechingones tribe, renowned for their profound herbal wisdom. Under their tutelage, I have honed the art of recognizing, communing with, and harvesting wild herbs in their pristine habitats, forging a profound spiritual connection with each plant on this transformative journey.
Alchemy and Spagyric Medicine, my journey began with the creation of mother tinctures and herbal concoctions. Amidst this process, I realized the remnants of the plants—their physical bodies left behind post-extraction—held untapped wisdom. It felt contrary to the cycles of nature to simply discard them. Guided by the ancient alchemical principle, “As above, so below; as without, so within,” I was drawn to the holistic art of **Spagyric Medicine**.
This venerable practice honors the entirety of the plant, distilling its essence into purified components, which are then alchemically reunited. This sacred union births medicines of profound potency, embodying the spirit, soul, and body of the botanicals.
My dedication to Spagyria deepened in 2008 when I encountered Palmira Ponzuelo, a revered Spagyric practitioner whose teachings in Spain illuminated my path. The wisdom imparted during her courses propelled me to pursue a **Professional Formation in Spagyric Medicine** under the tutelage of Eloy Saenz at the Andalusia School of Spagyria. Eloy, a distinguished protégé of the celebrated Spagyric sage **Abu Omar Yabir**, guided me to a certification by COFENAT.
My educational voyage continued at the School of Kheper Espargiria, where Pedro Cano's mentorship enriched my understanding. Complementing this, I engage in ongoing laboratory courses to refine my craft, including, Spagyric modules led by the American herbal vanguard, Sajah Popham. My quest also encompasses the integration of **Spagyric Medical Astrology** and therapeutic practices, weaving the celestial tapestry with alchemical lab work to create harmonious remedies aligned with the cosmic and earthly realms.
Teaching and Healing: Since 2003, I’ve been teaching medicinal plant workshops, guiding others to connect with plant spirits, embark on plant spirit journeys, and create herbal preparations.
In 2005, my journey led me to the mystical town of Glastonbury, England, where I embraced the role of co-director at Shekinashram, a sanctuary dedicated to the practice of Bhakti yoga. Over the span of 16 years, nestled in the heart of Avalon, I deepened my teaching and expanded my expertise in various modalities of natural healing. My quest for knowledge was enriched by extensive plant medicine studies and a comprehensive exploration of Ayurveda, which included becoming a certified yoga instructor.
My Holistic approach: weaves together the rhythmic cycles of nature, the fundamental elements, and the guiding forces of planetary energies. This fusion forms the essence of my Synergy Alchemy, through which I craft remedies and elixirs for the Body, Soul, and Spirit as a practitioner of natural medicine and traditional alchemy. Sharing my teachings at festivals and gatherings is a joy that enables me to disseminate my insights and foster connections with those on a similar path.”
Additional Studies and Practices:
Ayurvedic Lifestyle Coaching: I’ve delved into Ayurveda, helping individuals align their lifestyles with their unique constitutions.
Naturopathy Consultation: I offer naturopathic guidance, emphasizing natural remedies and preventive care.
Tissue Salt Preparations: I specialize in creating tissue salt remedies for holistic well-being.
Crystal Healing: Crystals play a vital role in my healing practices, harmonizing energies and promoting balance.
Yoga Training: As a certified yoga teacher, I integrate yogic principles into my healing work.
Astrological Assessments: I use medical astrology to assess health conditions, diving deep into the root causes of symptoms.
Flower Essences: I harness the healing properties of flowers to support emotional and mental well-being.
“With Pure Devotion and an Open Heart”
My journey with herbs and Spagyrics is more than a profession—it’s a calling etched into my soul. Guided by the wisdom of the Earth, I walk alongside those seeking healing. For each person who decides to embark on their self-care journey, I am honored to be a part of their path. Healing begins within, and I am here to support and empower everyone on their quest for well-being.
True to the Alchemical tradition, each step in the creation of these Spagyric Essences has been prepared in accordance with the planetary ruler of each specific herbal remedy. This drives the action of the herbs deeper into the organ systems, while also activating the spiritual potencies and initiatory qualities within the plant and its planetary archetype.
Our Spagyric elixirs contain the crystalline mineral salts of the plants, a unique process specific to the Alchemical tradition. These mineral salts increase their physiological potency, making them more bioavailable and effective at lower doses.
By working with Spagyric herbal preparations that have been prepared with that level of integrity and alignment, I believe a deep level of transformation will occur within your life, bringing you closer to the life you dream of, the vitality you are seeking, and the balance you are yearning for within.
