Ricardo Assis Rosa

I have spent most of my life following an insistent call: the call to understand the human experience at its deepest levels, where mind, body, emotion, spirit, and ancestry intersect. My journey has unfolded across continents, traditions, and disciplines, weaving together paths that, at first glance, seem worlds apart, yet ultimately converge into a single, coherent way of seeing and working with people.

My professional background includes architecture, design, and teaching, fields that have trained me in the art of shaping space and listening to what is unspoken. But beneath all of this ran a deeper current: a desire to understand the invisible structures that shape us from within. These emotional and spiritual architectures hold or hinder our lives. This inner enquiry guided me toward the healing arts, contemplative traditions, and Indigenous ceremonial practices. Over time, these became not interests but initiations.

My work today is rooted in several lineages that have profoundly shaped my perspective. As a certified practitioner of Compassionate Inquiry, I carry forward the teachings of Gabor Maté, recognising trauma not as an event but as the internal separation that happens when one loses connection with their authentic self. Through this lens, I accompany people into the tenderness beneath their defences, meeting them with presence, compassion, and clarity.

Alongside this psychological foundation, I have apprenticed in traditional Andean Q’ero rites, learning from the paqo tradition of living reciprocity, subtle energy work, and harmony with the forces of Nature. I have also been shaped by Shipibo Amazonian cosmology, where healing is understood as a reweaving of one’s energetic and spiritual pattern, and where the natural world is recognised as a living teacher and ally. These traditions have taught me humility, reverence, and the intelligence of ritual as a gateway to transformation.

My path is also deeply informed by Tibetan Buddhist Vajrayana teachings, which I have practised for 20 years, illuminating the nature of mind, the alchemy of emotions, and the possibility of awakening within everyday life. Through these teachings, I have learned that clarity and compassion are not qualities we must cultivate from outside ourselves—they are inherent, revealed when we return to the ground and spiritual essence of our being.

Finally, my training with North and Central American ceremonial practices, including sweat lodges and vision quests, gives me a profound respect for the initiatory power of nature, the resilience forged through simplicity and prayer, and the importance of community in any actual process, feeling myself truly in the human experience.

All these streams come together in my work with people. I do not see healing as a technique or a method, but as a relational journey, a meeting between two people in which something deeper, wiser, and more whole can emerge. My role is not to fix or to direct; it is to hold a clear, grounded presence so you can hear the intelligence of your own system, your own soul, and the guidance that lives within you.

I work with individuals who feel the pull toward greater alignment in their lives, people who have often achieved much yet sense that something essential is waiting beneath the surface. Our work together becomes a space where old patterns soften, where the nervous system learns safety again, where the body’s truth can be heard, and where the deeper purpose of your life begins to clarify itself.

What I offer is a way of remembering, of returning to who you are beneath conditioning, expectation, and self-protection. The process is gentle but profound, grounded yet expansive, psychological yet spiritual. It invites you into a relationship with yourself that is more honest, more compassionate, and more aligned with the life you are here to live.

If you choose to walk this path with me, you are not entering a program or a performance. You are stepping into a sacred, human-to-human relationship, one rooted in the belief that transformation is possible, that healing is relational, and that your life is calling you toward something deeper, clearer, and more true.

I am here to walk with you as that call becomes your path.
