Silvia Casabianca, Reiki Master/Teacher, Board Certified Professional Counselor, Trager practitioner and Holistic Counselor, is the author of Heartmined: Conscious Evolution from Fear to Solidarity (2020) and Regaining Body Wisdom: A multidimensional Approach (2008), among other books both in English and Spanish. She graduated as a Medical doctor in 1972 and practiced Medicine in her country of origin, Colombia, for 28 years (as a community doctor first and then as a psychotherapist). While working closely with underprivileged communities, she learned how fundamental lifestyle is, and especially nutrition, to maintain optimal health. In 1992, she was awarded a Master in Art Therapy from Concordia University (Canada). Currently she is a Doctoral candidate (EdD) at Nova Southeastern University. She is also the Advisory Chair for the Florida Gulf University's Roots of Compassion and Kindness (ROCK) Center.

Back to her country as a psychotherapist, she found how her client's physical symptoms usually dissolved when achieving resolution of emotional conflicts, which reinforced her idea of the unity of body and mind. After experiencing a hands-on healing on herself, she started to explore the field of quantum mechanics and vibrational medicine in search for explanations to phenomena that her medical training did not have answers for. She studied with Taoist masters, with Jorge Carvajal M.D., who used bioenergetics and esoteric healing, and also studied with two different REIKI Masters who initiated her to the three levels of REIKI.

After moving to Florida in 2000, she became a licensed Massage Therapist (In Florida, a prerequisite to practice Reiki), was certified in Psychophysical Integration (Trager Approach) and in Medical QiGong. She also became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. Since 2000, she has taught REIKI, the therapeutic use of art, and movement to energize your body, among other seminars, around Florida. She has also become a Medical QiGong practitioner with the International Institute of Medical QiGong.

Silvia Casabianca supports an integrative approach to healing.

She also authored El fin de la Enfermedad. Otra visión del cuerpo humano (Colombia, 2005 and Spain, 2008), which is the Spanish version of Regaining Body Wisdom; Si el arco falla, la flecha no volará, a book on Adolescence as a second opportunity for ego maturation and the use of Art Therapy with adolescents (1997) and Stress management for Massage Therapists (also available in Spanish).

 
In her books, Silvia proposes a different approach to health and illness, looking at the intelligence of the body from a multidimensional perspective. Silvia Casabianca writes featured articles and columns for different local papers in the Southwest Florida area.
