What if healing began from within?
Imagine your body equipped with an inner healer that helps you stay healthy, and recover from illness and trauma. How would you care for this healer?
Visualize yourself following a healthy diet, healthy routines, and then, assess the quality of your relationships with self, with others, and the planet itself. It would help you keep you optimally healthy, rebound faster after a crisis, and experience true wellness. The process of staying healthy often requires a mentor, patience, gratitude, self-compassion, persistence, and acceptance of what you can’t change. More…

A service call took her to live and practice medicine in remote areas of Colombia — often communities with no access to public services — an experience that transformed her understanding of health and healing.
In those isolated villages, medical brigades volunteers met curanderos who practiced a form of healing rooted in careful observation of the natural world. She also understood how profoundly the conditions of daily life shaped health — and felt, for the first time, the pull to explore alternative systems of care that eventually reshaped her understanding of health and healing.

A child who rarely felt seen grew into an adult committed to helping others find the courage to walk challenging paths. From the age of nine, she dreamed of becoming a doctor, writing stories, and championing an education that provides safe spaces for children to freely express themselves.
It took years, detours, and a few meaningful and illuminating encounters to trust that her dreams were worth pursuing — and to recognize that her struggles were not unique, but deeply human. Compassion — first received, experienced and practiced, then taught — became both her path and her purpose. More…
Writing became a medium for encouraging others to believe in themselves, break restrictive patterns, live healthier lives, and reflect on their potential to express empathy. Her first published book, Si el Arco Falla, la Flecha no volará, (1997) examined the conundrums of adolescence through a pyschoanalytical lens. It was published with the Cartagena City Hall ‘s support – a fitting institutional home for a book born from her experience coordinating youth programs in the city. More…
ABOUT Dr. Silvia Casabianca
My life is an organic collage of vivid snapshots: a privileged child who knew herself through mirrors and the eyes of those who tended to her. A small person not yet herself, she gradually faced fears and tasted unfamiliar waters before conquering independence. Where was she going?
She didn’t know. Would she become an educator? A medical doctor? A writer perhaps?
This child experienced life in wild areas, gained a sense of community and understood the meaning of solidarity while serving as a doctor in remote locations. She moved through the stages of love: from loving family, to choosing friends, to falling in love, to forming her own family, to accepting herself with all her flaws. Further down the path, she dedicated her life to acts of service and explored a path as an educator and counselor. She helped raise children in love and not in fear.
The girl I was, the paddler, the young doctor—evolved as a conscious, compassionate person to walk down the path less traveled, until she became this woman who is now writing to you.
TESTIMONIALS
Tom Wallace
Editor - SW Florida
In her book Heartminded: Conscious Evolution from Fear to Solidarity, Dr. Casabianca’s argues that we humans are, in fact, hardwired for love an compassion… Her message is one of hope for all.
We’re mired in strife. Sometimes it almost seems a part of who we are as species. But is that really our natural state? Could we put aside our grievances–in our families, our jobs, and our personal associations – and learn to approach the other with love.
The author argues that we indeed can embrace our loving nature.

“In Homo Amandi, Casabianca weaves together politics, economy, psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and personal experience into a coherent and deeply researched whole. From the evolutionary roots of empathy and compassion to the fractures of modern life, she moves seamlessly between the individual, the collective, and the universal — and arrives, ultimately, at love as a path.”

Regaining Body Wisdom offers medical, personal, and spiritual perspectives to explain the human body and illness. The author did an awesome job at combining years of research (facts) with personal anecdotes from her career as a medical doctor. It was really useful in understanding things I never thought about twice before. I strongly recommend the book!
Carlene Thiesen
Writer and Editor SW Florida
“This is the best overview of holistic methods of healing and the balance between the body’s organs and systems that I have ever read. Silvia Casabianca is to be commended for her knowledge, insight, and ability to explain it all in a beautiful way that also just makes sense. I recommend this book highly.”

A comprehensive explanation of the relationship between mind, body and spirit. As a bodyworker and Reiki practitioner, I have sought the right words to help clients understand how the different aspects of our humanity influence each other and that change is always possible. In simple language and with great respect, the common ground between Western medicine and the spirituality of ancient healing methods is explored. Casabianca’s career path provides a uniquely qualified perspective. Her work is a synthesis of her personal journey. Enjoyable and fascinating. I’d recommend this book to anyone in the health professions or simply interested in deepening their understanding of what it means to be human.

Insightful and mind blowing. Easy to read with deep, though-provoking concepts. Makes you wonder about yourself, your lifestyle and offers clear ways to change that which needs to go in order to improve your quality of life. I really loved this book.
