Dr Vanessa Leon-Sulca

Holistic Medicine & Cultural Advisor

Dr. Vanessa Milagro Leon-Sulca is a Medical Doctor and Psychotherapist with expertise in Ayurvedic traditional medicine and psychedelic therapies.

She trained at Barts and The London School of Medicine. Originally from Peru and of Andean Quechua lineage, Vanessa has deeply immersed herself in Peruvian shamanic traditions and Andean cosmology.

Vanessa also holds a BA in International Relations and Political Science. Prior to her medical career, she was a Chartered Accountant and worked as an Internal Auditor in banking. This diverse background and experience provide her with a deeper understanding of patients' challenges, considering not only medical and scientific perspectives to illnesses but also social, cultural, and economic factors, as she recognises that illnesses develop within a larger context far beyond only individual factors.

With over 15 years of exploring unconventional healing methods, Vanessa runs her private practice, Gnosis Clinic, integrating conventional and traditional medicine. Vanessa has also written on the Historic Trauma of colonisation in Peru from a psychotherapeutic perspective and is conducting ongoing research in this area.
