Hey there! I'm Vivica, and I'm so excited to meet you!
Imagine growing up under the warm Italian sun, then deciding the whole world is your playground. That's me! My life's been quite the adventure – full of twists, turns, and beautiful lessons that have shaped who I am and the work I love to do.
You know how sometimes life throws you curveballs that end up being blessings in disguise? Well, my journey's been full of those, and they've led me to become a holistic healing guide. It's like I've collected a toolbox of amazing techniques to help people just like you find their way to healing and self-discovery.
I'm all about that Internal Family Systems Therapy (it's not as complicated as it sounds, promise!) and trauma-informed care. I've got a special place in my heart for folks who've had mind-expanding psychedelic experiences and are trying to make sense of it all.
But wait, there's more! (I've always wanted to say that!) I've dipped my toes into all sorts of healing pools – from geeking out on functional nutrition and brain-boosting neuroplasticity tools, to diving deep into physical nervous system healing and balancing those tricky neurotransmitters. And if that wasn't enough, I've even ventured into the mystical world of Amazonian plant medicine and shamanic practices.
It's like I've been on a mission to gather all these amazing healing ingredients from around the world. And now? I get to mix them all together in a special recipe, just for you and your unique journey.
So, what do you say? Ready to embark on this wild, wonderful adventure of healing and self-discovery together? I can't wait to get to know you and your story!

Vivica's Core Skills & Modalities
Classic Internal Family Systems (IFS)
A compassionate, evidence-based therapeutic approach that helps clients identify, understand, and harmonize the various 'parts' within themselves. Through IFS, Vivica guides clients in healing past wounds, creating internal harmony, and strengthening self-compassion.
Shamanic IFS (School of R. Falconer)
This unique adaptation of IFS incorporates shamanic perspectives, acknowledging the spiritual dimensions of self-healing. Inspired by the teachings of R. Falconer, Vivica combines shamanic practices with IFS techniques to offer clients a holistic, soul-centered healing experience.
Amazonian Shipibo Curanderismo
Drawing on years of apprenticeship with Shipibo healers, Vivica offers traditional Amazonian shamanic practices that honor Indigenous wisdom. Through Shipibo curanderismo, she provides a grounded, sacred space for clients to explore plant medicine integration and spiritual healing.
Functional Nutrition
Vivica offers targeted nutritional guidance aimed at nourishing and regulating the nervous system while supporting hormonal balance. This approach strengthens the body’s resilience and stability, providing a solid foundation that complements emotional and spiritual healing.
What is Internal Family Systems Therapy?
The Internal Family Systems Model (IFS) is a non-pathologizing model of psychotherapy created by Richard Schwartz in the 1980’s. IFS is based on the premise that similar to the complex external family system, individuals are composed of separate and multifaceted internal parts in relationship with each other. Underlying them is a person's Self, which can be called one’s true or eternal essence.
In the IFS model, there are three types of parts:
- Exiles represent the wounded parts of the system, often from childhood, which have been exiled to the basement of the psyche; they carry the pain, fear and anger of the trauma. Managers and Firefighters try to protect a person's consciousness by preventing the Exiles' pain from coming to awareness.
- Protectors: Managers take on a preemptive role. They influence the way a person interacts with the external world, protecting the person from harm and preventing painful or traumatic experiences from flooding the person's conscious awareness. Their motto is; “Never again!”
- Protectors: Firefighters emerge when Exiles break out of the basement and demand attention. They work to divert attention away from the Exile's hurt and shame, which leads to impulsive and/or inappropriate behaviors like overeating, drug use or violence. They can also be called distractors because they distract a person from pain by excessively focusing attention on other activities such as overworking or overmedicating.
The 8 C’s of Self
These are the qualities of Self energy, innately present in every person, even when not consciously available.
- Curiosity
- Calm
- Confidence
- Compassion
- Creativity
- Clarity
- Courage
- Connectedness
A core principle of IFS is that every part has a positive intent, even if its actions are counterproductive and/or cause dysfunction. There is no need to fight with, or eliminate parts; the IFS method promotes internal connection and harmony to bring the mind back into balance. Through IFS we get access to Self and then, from there, we witness and understand the different parts in order to heal them.

Vivica has a consistently gentle and kind manner coupled with deep listening skills and strong intuition. She quickly created a safer container in which I felt seen, heard, relaxed and very safe.
Her knowledge and application of IFS is thorough and insightful.
Over the course of our short time together Vivica guided me to a place of more self acceptance, compassion and energy for which I am incredibly grateful.
Edward F.
The IFS, (Internal Family Systems,) therapy model has proven to be an effective strategy in terms of self development. Specifically, with Vivica's help, we have worked through past traumas relative to overcoming fears regarding interpersonal relationship building.

I know you said you get so much out of helping others but I wanted to say again how thankful I am to have come in contact with you. I'm very thankful for the knowledge and passion that I do have and I wish everyone could at least even make the changes I have made and I'm so passionate so many people could get healed with just lifestyle changes. I've healed so much and come so far and feel great. So, thank you for being there for me and I'll do whatever I can to support you as well and recommend you. I have faith and I have been praying for this and I will continue to pray for me, and our journey but also you as an individual. Whatever you believe, know there are good vibes coming your way!
