Organizational Healing/Consulting.
With over 20 years of experience supporting progressive organizations and leaders to effect transformative social change, I have been described by previous clients as a “healer of organizations,” and “a spiritual leader with an MBA.” I bring a wealth of knowledge and healing wisdom to organizations seeking not just technical expertise in all aspects of organizational development, but also a multidimensional healing justice framework. With a sharp anti-oppression analysis coupled with a powerful intuition, I address the complex and myriad impacts that intergenerational trauma and systemic oppression can have on organizations and social justice movements. My services focus on the integration of cultural change, conscious communication, wellness plans, self-care through regenerative practices, and heart-centered leadership development coaching.

“Amadeo did healing justice work with the board and staff of Byrd Barr Place. We are a 56 year old civil rights organization that learned renewed ways of social activism that is body centered. Amadeo’s years of experience specializing in trauma, body-centered therapy, and healing, helped us explore how healing begins with our bodies.
We were taught to acknowledge our human selves and each other and find pathways to heal. Amadeo did a wonderful job of unpacking valuable insights & opportunities for us to use as we go about our everyday lives.”
— Andrea Caupain Sanderson, CEO, Byrd Barr Place
Group Experiences.
Using a liberatory spiritually-based social justice framework, I create powerfully healing and transformative gatherings that create a safe space for all to process, grieve, connect, laugh with joy, and move from pain to action. I am passionate about supporting communities to reconnect to our ancestral wisdom and to the vast multitude of spirits and divine beings always on call to guide and help us.

Individual Healing and Coaching.
Coming from a lineage of powerful healers from the mystical islands of the Philippines, I proudly continue my family’s legacy of healing and empowering the committed souls who seek my help. I am passionate about working with changemakers and spiritual seekers who long to embody their highest values and are equally devoted to creating a life of deep purpose and joy, and a more just and humane world, knowing that the two are interdependent. I have over 15 years of experience offering soul-centered leadership development coaching and spiritual healing.
My approach integrates the depth and mystery of a lifelong study and practice of shamanic and spiritual arts with the grounded practicality that several Business and Masters degrees, and a lifetime of experience as a queer, gender non-binary child of immigrants teaches a human. The transformation of our deepest wounds into the unique healing medicine we can offer to the world is the greatest adventure we can embark upon, and as your loving guide, I promise it will be a ride that you will never forget.
“I first saw Amadeo from a friend’s referral. Amadeo has assisted me with learning and connecting to my spirit, intuition and spirit guides. They have taught me techniques to connect to my ancestors, move “stuck” emotions and techniques on how to meditate, allowing myself to trust my senses and following my gut.
After working with Amadeo for three sessions, I truly believe they have healing powers. They have an open, genuine quality which helped me feel instantly comfortable working with them. I have since referred them to my friends and family, all having different experiences and reasons for coming. But we all have one thing in common, we all believe that Amadeo has shed light on ways we can move forward, become inspired and encouraged in different aspects of our lives by helping us navigate and find the root of issues in our lives.
I highly recommend seeing Amadeo because they have changed my life in many positive ways.”
