Raquel Turci Pedroso
- Psychologist


Born in the Brazilian Amazon, my path has been shaped by heartfelt experiences that bridge cultures and perspectives: a bachelor’s in Language & Literature, governmental projects with Amazonian communities, a specialization in Mental Health and Human Development, certification in facilitating women’s circles, and leadership insights from HarvardX—all of which have opened doors to diverse ways of being. I’ve lived and learned at Loyola University Chicago as a non-degree Fulbright scholar and explored international education at the University of Zagreb in Croatia through a Be Mundus scholarship, enriching my appreciation for global diversity and strengthening my ease with English.
Since 2020, the Amazon’s sacred ayahuasca traditions have been my deepest teacher, guiding me through every hands-on step—from tending the soil and nurturing vines to preparing ceremonial brews with care. Along with Gabor’s teachings, these immersive experiences have honed my intuitive ability to hold space for others, fostering genuine curiosity, empathy, and a commitment to connection.
As a certified Compassionate Inquiry® practitioner, it is my joy to honor your unique truth, gently bringing compassion, cultural sensitivity, and an open heart to support your journey.
