Doña Isabel Chinguel and Doña Olinda Pintado are famous curanderas from the North Coast of Peru (Chiclayo), featured in Dr. Bonnie Glass-Coffin's acclaimed book, "The Gift of Life." They work with their mesa and with herbs

Known as “The Twins”, they work in their community as respected healers. They use ancient traditional ways to treat people. The focus of their medicine is to put you at peace with the Spirits of the Universe. Ysabel, from Singo in the province of Huancabamba, and Olinda, from Huancabamba village are soul twins, also known as Yanatin-Masintin, a balanced complementary union of masculine and feminine energy. For 30 years, they have practiced northern ancestral medicine in the city of Chiclayo. Their wonderful working relationship has allowed them to heal many kinds of illnesses- from depression to terminal illnesses.  Traveling to Huancabamba with their clients, Ysabel and Olinda always make use of the sacred waters of the magical Huaringas lakes.

Isabel Chinguel comes from las Huaringas and the sacred lakes nearby Piura, Peru. She is well known because of her “angel hands”.  People from all over the world come and take baths at the lakes in Huaringas, where they are healed and blessed.  When she was 30, she was elected by the divine San Pedro spirit to be a healer.  Ever since this time, she works at Chiclayo, Peru, helping people with terminal and rare diseases, and other disorders.

Olinda Pintado comes from Huancabamba, a village near las Huaringas Piura, Peru. Since she was a little girl, she was interested in the mesadas (San Pedro ceremonies) and began to learn the ways of this medicine.  When her cousin was very sick , Isabel was invited to do a mesada on his behalf.  All were amazed by the results as a deep healing ensued. Olinda’s path was clear after this point;  according to her tradition, she was elected by the Divine spirit of San Pedro to be a healer.  She practices her medicine in Chiclayo, Peru, together with Isabel.

These wonderful curanderas offer us their beautiful feminine healing energy as they teach us how to heal our luminous bodies and reconnect with mother earth. They hold cleansing ceremonies and work with native Andean herbs, and sacred objects.

Dear Earthkeeper and Friend,

I want to invite you to rare and beautiful experience of the heart- an experience of healing your body
and re-vitalizing your spirit.

Referred to as the “Twins”, Dona Ysabel & Dona Olinda were chosen to be healers over 30 years ago
in the small town of Chiclayo, Peru. Their incredible story is one of the main topics of the book “The
Gift of Life” by Dr. Bonnie Glass Coffin.  Once they were “claimed” by spirit to heal, their lives were
never the same again. Today they are some of the most beloved and acclaimed healers in Peru,
having seen thousands of clients from far and wide and healing bodies, minds and spirits with their
“angel hands” using methods that combine their Catholic background with ancient traditional
medicine whose roots are thousands of years old, and trace their lineage back to the Pre-Incan
Moche culture. It was their deep knowledge of this ancient medicine that also lead to one of the
biggest archaeological breakthroughs this decade in pre-Incan culture- which is the subject of the
Discovery Channel documentary, “Secrets of a Moche Tomb” featuring the Twins.

The Twins renown grew rapidly due to their miraculous cures with terminal cancers and disease.
Their cures have been so numerous and successful that the local community health group, including
medical doctors, are studying their methods.  For over 30 years, they have worked tirelessly in their
community to share their healing and love. This is the third time they will make the big trip to the
United States to share their medicine with us.

For the past several years, I have had the honor of getting to know these beautiful women first hand
during the workshops, ceremonies and private sessions they have done with Earthkeepers
Foundation. I have witnessed the power of their work, which is sourced from a sacred place of deep
unconditional love.  I will always remember the time they worked on a young autistic boy who had not
been able to look his mother in the eye since birth. Nor had he been able to stop his hand flapping.
When he came down from his first session, he calmly looked his mother in the eye, hands at his sides
and gave her a hug. The mother was in tears as she said, “this is the first time my boy has looked me
in the eye”.  This young boy had found the Twins after being recommended by another mother whose
son has since “recovered” from mild autism- and this mother directly attributes his steady cure to
the sessions he had with the Twins along with the herbal teas they prescribed.  I personally was
changed by my work with them; after attending two Mesada ceremonies, my heart experienced an
indescribable sensation of rejuvenation and joy that remains with me today. It also enhanced the
healing work I do with my clients.

The Twins attribute their gifts to their guiding spirit of San Pedro, who informs them as to what work
needs to be done on each client to obtain wholeness.  San Pedro is the traditional Saint that “chose”
them as healers and is also represented by the plant San Pedro.  Traditionally, for thousands of years,
the spirit of this plant is ingested to expand ones ability to heal others. The Twins, having worked with
this spirit for so long, can access its guidance at any time without any herbal assistance. The Twins
heal clients by several methods: hands on healing (as in private sessions), the use of herbs and teas,
as well as the traditional core ceremony of the North coast, or Peru, known as the Mesada ceremony.
This ceremony deepens the individual work the Twins do, and helps to rapidly clear the heavy energy
in the client’s field. In this ceremony, The Twins guide a group as they directly experiences the spirit
helper of San Pedro, and in doing so release years of accumulated heavy energy, thanks to the
interaction between the healers and San Pedro as it works with the group.

We hope everyone has the opportunity to experience these wonderful healers,

In Munay,
