She has immersed herself into the teachings of the Onanya Merraya “Wise Master” in Isa Sina, Pucallpa, in the heart of the Amazon forest of Peru. Silvana has participated in over two hundred Madre Ayahuasca ceremonies. Her exploration of the mystical and spiritual world is ongoing.

Silvana’s love for travel and people has led her to explore nature and other cultures around the world.

She has training in various forms of wellness including basic Ayurveda, massage therapy, Reiki, dance, plant-based nutrition, alternative medicine therapies, and traditional ancestral ceremonies.

Currently, Silvana is studying to become certified in Regenerative Detoxification at the renowned Dr. Morse International School of Detoxification.
