ABOUT ANDREA
ANDREA BERNSTEIN — HEALER, MENTOR AND GUIDE
My work is devoted to helping spiritual seekers, healers, facilitators, and leaders clear outdated programming, embody their gifts, and bring their deepest expression into form — grounded, aligned, in harmony with, and in Service to Life.
the path of MY Soul
For over two decades, I have immersed myself in the wisdom teachings, healing practices, and ceremonial traditions carried by the paqos — the high priests — and other medicine men and women of Peru. Through years of mentorship and initiation, this work has become a lived path.
Through this ancient and deeply relevant body of wisdom, I support you in clearing mental, emotional, and energetic patterns, resolving the wounding and conditioning that limit forward movement, and realigning with the life you were born to live.
For those who know they are here to make a difference, this work speaks beyond convention and belief. It reaches something deeper — awakening a remembrance of what is possible and of who you are beneath the stories you were given.
MY JOURNEY
When I first began my path of self-discovery in the mid-1990s, I could barely hear my own voice. I was disconnected from my body, my desires, and much of what brings meaning and vitality to life. While many practices supported me along the way, it was the shamanic path that shifted my world in the most profound and lasting ways.
Through this work, I reconnected with my purpose and gained the tools, vision, and strength to move through the wounds, insecurities, and limiting beliefs that had kept me from offering what I was here to bring forward. Shamanic wisdom supported me in meeting my life with greater sovereignty, clarity, and courage.
The depth of transformation I experienced through my training with the Four Winds Society led me to serve as a staff member and as an assistant to its founder, Alberto Villoldo, PhD. From 2010 to 2017, I also taught Introductory Shamanism through the University of Utah’s Lifelong Learning program.
These roles refined my ability to translate an ancient body of wisdom in a way that is grounded, accessible, and rooted in lived experience.
It is my life’s work to pass on these teachings and to support you in reconnecting with your truth- awakening the full expression of the gifts you came here to share, while honoring your own unique path.

THE HEART OF MY LOVE
Alongside my path in the Andean Cosmovision, Bhakti Yoga is one of the greatest devotional streams of my life.
The common thread is Love.
In the Andean teachings, Munay is understood as love under our will — a frequency of the heart that heals, harmonizes, and brings us back into right relationship with Life.
In the Bhakti path, that same current of love moves through devotion, surrender, remembrance, and service; it has become a foundation for how I walk in the world.
Together, these paths of co-creation, love, service, courage, humility, and devotion have given me the strength to let go, rebuild, and recreate myself again and again.
My devotion to Neem Karoli Baba and Hanuman, and my service at the ashram in Taos, NM, has shaped me as deeply as any formal training. My 2 1/2 years of service as Hanuman’s pujari and tending the temple altars became one of the most sacred rites of passage of my life. In bathing and tending the murti, I was cleansed, humbled, strengthened, and remade through the heart of devotion — and in tending the altars, I came into relationship with the archetypal deities who organize Life.
Both paths have taught me that healing is a path of becoming more available to Love, more devoted to Life, and more willing to serve the sacred purpose we came here to embody.
honoring My Teachers
I hold deep gratitude for the teachers, mentors, colleagues, and Peruvian elders who have shaped my path over more than two decades.
My early training and subsequent staff position at the Four Winds Society Healing the Light Body School grounded my path in the Andean wisdom traditions. I am especially grateful to the Q’ero paqos of the High Andes — particularly Don Francisco Chura — as well as Q’ero Elder Don Mariano Quispe, his apprentice Santiago, and the late Odon Medina, whose healing and mentorship supported my lived embodiment of the Andean path.
The Core Clearing Practices shared through the Shamanic Soul Path are rooted in teachings passed to me by my mentors, the Twin Shamans of Chiclayo, Peru, from the Moche tradition. I have also received Fourth-Level Andean Mysticism teachings and initiations through my colleague and Neuro-Mystic, Christina Allen, as well as through Juan and Ivan Nuñez del Prado — direct recipients of wisdom that speaks directly to these times of transition and remembering.
What is offered through the Shamanic Soul Path is my personal integration of these lineages, shaped through years of lived practice and discernment, and shared with honor, humility, and respect as living wisdom.
