As an unusually curious child, from a young age, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery and healing, driven by his personal experiences with childhood trauma. His path, marked by a commitment to reflective practices and self-exploration, led him to the powerful realm of plant-based psychedelic medicine. This pivotal encounter unveiled the transformative potential of psychedelic integration, reshaping his understanding of the healing potential and evolutionary capacity of the human mind.

Driven by deep passion, he devoted his life to sharing this journey with other seekers. He founded Evolving Temple, Ignite Global, Awaken Mind Guide, and the Global Center for Reflective Practices and Consciousness, organizations dedicated to exploring the depths of the human mind and its potential.

Building on his expertise, Fernando has completed Medical Psychiatric Coursework with Harvard University. In addition to his academic pursuits, he is currently pursuing a postgraduate degree in Counseling Psychology, Executive Diploma in Clinical Psychology, Certificate in Ayurveda Psychology, and conducts research, focusing on “Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy Integrated Coaching in Treating Childhood Trauma”.

Outside of his professional life, Fernando enjoys the quietude of meditation and the joy of salsa dancing, activities that reflect the embodiment of balance between mind and body.
