About me
Skye Gibson
Modern Medicine Woman
My name is Skye, and I live with my family in beautiful lutruwita/Tasmania, Australia. I am a mesa carrier, practitioner and teacher in the Andean mystical tradition and sacred healing arts. My work is devoted to supporting people on their journeys of conscious evolution, particularly those seeking a path that honours our sacred relationship with nature and the world of living energy.
I guide people in processes to reconnect with and attune to the deeper layers of their inner landscape, supporting them to remember their luminous essence and ignite the heart’s fire! In the Andean tradition, this is about developing kanay – the capacity to know who we are, and to have the power to be who we are in the world. It is the time of meeting ourselves again.
My approach is grounded in the understanding that each of us is a drop of the Mystery who carries their own inner medicine - a source of healing, timeless wisdom, and unique soul gifts. This seed of pure potential is like a sacred song, which can be awakened and embodied through energetic practices, and remembering our interconnectedness with the web of life. I weave earth-based wisdom and practices from the Andean tradition with liminal journeying, song, myth and storytelling, and intuitive guidance. I hold a gentle, attentive and grounded space that meets each person where they are, honouring their unique path of unfolding.
Through commitment to this work, we can discover how it feels to meet life with greater clarity, presence and trust – embracing times of disruption and uncertainty as gateways for self-discovery and deeper alignment. What may feel stuck, heavy or fragmented can soften as energies harmonise, and coherence is restored. Patterns of limitation can be understood and reimagined, allowing for a more authentic relationship with the whole self to emerge.
I have trained extensively as both practitioner and teacher within the Andean mystical tradition and sacred healing arts - a body of teachings shared by the last generation of master paqos (healers/mystics) from Q’ero and Wasao. My primary teacher and mentor in this work is Joan Parisi Wilcox. Through this path, I have been initiated as a mesa carrier (medicine carrier) into these living lineages. I have also learned from other teachers such as Don Juan & Don Ivan Núñez del Prado, and Puma Fredy Quispe Singona. I have also trained in shamanic earth-based healing and eco-somatic practices aligned with Andean cosmology. I am also continually learning, practicing and evolving.
My personal medicine weaves together sacred energy practices, liminal journeying, visionary guidance, sound, and storytelling. Over years of working with energy and intuitive perception, I have developed a strong visionary sensitivity that informs how I work. This may support reflective insight and can offer different ways of perceiving and engaging with personal experience, sometimes opening a sense of expanded perspective or possibility.
I hold a gentle, attentive, and grounded space for people - a space where you are invited to be exactly as you are. I encourage curiosity, honesty, and laughter. Laughter can be so powerful all on its own. Within this space, there is room to notice parts of yourself that may not have been fully seen, met, or acknowledged. There is room to just be.
About me
Skye Gibson
Modern Medicine Woman
My name is Skye, and I live with my family in beautiful lutruwita/Tasmania, Australia. I am a mesa (medicine) carrier in the Andean mystical tradition, a visionary guide, and a practitioner and teacher of energetics and earth-based wisdom.
I see my life as an epic adventure of self-discovery, and a devotion to the deep inner work of reclaiming and embodying wholeness. I am a wild-hearted wanderer of the realm of the soul and have been into the abyss and back many times over. Walking this path has taken me through many cycles of dissolution and re-formation, learning, unlearning, falling apart and re-membering, descending, rising, and returning. This has led to the awakening of my own inner medicine - the culmination of alchemising my lived experiences, and igniting my heart’s fire.
I now work with people from all over the world, guiding and supporting them on their journeys of personal exploration and transformation so they can experience greater joy, ease, clarity, connection, and wellbeing in their lives. The energetic work I offer is a way for people to awaken their own inner medicine, as they journey into the deeper layers of their experience, and remember parts of themselves they may be yearning to know and express - their unique soul gifts. Working at the energetic level can often expand our awareness around our patterns, beliefs, emotions, and inner dynamics so that we may reimagine ourselves. It can also support us in moving through times of discomfort with embodied presence and understanding, and a sense of inner trust.
At the heart of my work is a profound love for our humanness - from our messiness and fallibility to our infinite potential as creative beings. My work is not about bypassing our humanness, but about descending into it to experience and embrace it more fully. I view the human experience, with all its challenges, as the gateway to embodying our luminous essence. Perhaps most importantly, I absolutely love what I do and the people I work with.

This is the work of re-weaving the fabric of the soul so that our true self, our wholeness, can emerge and be expressed and embodied at a deep, cellular level.
About my approach
Sowelu Soul Medicine
Soul medicine is a gentle and powerful approach to supporting wellbeing through working at the energetic level
Imagine your whole Self as a fine tapestry, a completely unique creation woven with the greatest love and care. It is infused with the essence of your spirit - a vibrant life-force energy that contains your infinite potential, and all your precious gifts. Your soul is an energetic imprint weaving through the physical form. It is your humanness.
But you feel that the tapestry has faded in parts, leaving the whole image obscured and dull, though somewhat recognizable in parts. In certain places there are patches that have been roughly stitched, hiding something underneath. There are plenty of loose threads and some very threadbare parts. In other places the thread is completely unravelled. Some of the edges are frayed. Maybe it feels like it’s in tatters! But there’s a glimpse of something luminous, something a little otherworldly, ethereal. You want to see it. You want to know what it is. You want to remember.
And so our work begins…
We snip the threads of things that do not serve us. We take shimmering thread of many colours, and we lovingly and gently restore the fabric. We remove the patches with care, unpicking the hasty, coarse stitches one by one, to reveal what’s underneath. We get curious. We look, we see, and we touch these tender and forgotten places that we covered up. As we lovingly observe them, we find that they don’t need the patches anymore.
Gradually, as we breathe life into the fabric, as we reweave and remember…as we love, and learn and care, the tapestry is restored. It is whole again. In soul medicine we feel a song arising from within us, reminding us of who we truly are. We listen to the song and let it guide us home.
You see…everything we need is already there. It just needs our love and our energy. You are already everything you need to be. When we shatter the illusion that there was ever anything ‘wrong’ in the first place, we have discovered the path to our empowerment and the embodiment of our soul.
