About - María Paz

Maria Paz Genisio

I was born on March 28, 1980, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I grew up with my father, mother, two older sisters, and a younger brother. Growing up in close contact with nature influenced my sensitivity and connection with the environment from an early age.


In their youth, my parents embarked on a path towards spirituality, and although they disconnected from it over the years, this planted the seeds of my my own spiritual awakening and marked the beginnings of my journey of self-discovery and personal growth.


Some of the most significant events in my life include my father's passing when I was 14, my mother's relocation to another city when I was 17, followed by the birth of my daughter at 18, and my separation from her father at 22. These events shaped my path and led me to seek therapy and begin a journey of healing and personal development.


Academic Background

My early education provided me with the opportunity to learn English from the age of three and explore various artistic expressions such as theater and music, enriching my personal development. Strictness and high standards challenged me to constantly thrive in evry aspect of my life.


At 22 my therapist encouraged me to take a thorough vocational test, which revealed my affinity for Psychology, Educational Psychology, and Advertising. At that time, I chose Advertising as it was more accessible to study while raising my daughter alone and working full-time. I graduated in 2008 and worked in that field briefly, but to this day, I still apply some of the concepts learned.


My calling to Psychology intensified over time, and at 33, I decided to pursue the career at my own pace. Years in, I started supplementing my studies with a degree in Family Constellations and Cellular Memory, eventually discovering that my true calling was to accompany others from a more holistic and spiritual approach. This led me to abandoning formal University education and specialize in tools that are designed to reveal memories stored not only in the unconscious but also in the body and soul.

Professional Development

My professional carreer includes various fields, from gastronomy and communications to systems and administrative tasks. This experience provided me with a wide range of skills applicable both to my personal and professional lives, leading me to understand that part of my work is to help people improve their quality of life.


In 2011, I started offering massages in my spare time, allowing me to discover my intuitive connection and therapeutic approach, incorporating techniques such as Reiki and intuitive reading (my beginnings in channeling messages).


In 2013, losing my job led me to discover my vocation as a therapeutic companion. Over the next three years, I dedicated myself to offering massages, therapeutic support, and workshops on meditation and cognitive stimulation for the elderly.


In 2017, my fears, insecurities, and scarcity mindset led me back to employment as a secretary in a medical practice for four years. During this time, I experienced significant personal growth and continued my education.


In 2021, I had the opportunity to work as an activities coordinator at a holistic therapy center, where I discovered new tools, had my first experiences as a therapist, and provided my first training in therapeutic massage (which allowed me to discover my vocation for teaching). Within a few months, I realized it was time to fully assume my role as a therapist and resigned to devote myself fully to therapies.


Since then, I have gained experience, defined my work style, and discovered what makes me unique as a therapist. In the "About Portal Shanti" section, you can read more about this latest process.


In 2023, I became aware that every time I read tarot cards, I was actually reading the akashic records of the person, and since then, I specialize in the technique I call akashic tarot.


All this journey has brought me here, and I am certain that there are still more chapters to write in my professional story.


Personal Development

Besides my academic and professional background, my healing process was as fundamentally important, as it shaped my therapeutic approach and provided me with the most valuable tools to accompany you on your personal journey.


Motivated to be the best possible mother to my daughter and wanting to break free from negative inherited patterns of education, over 14 years of therapy taught me how to ask for what I need, express what I feel, manage my emotions in a healthy manner, and set clear boundaries. I also learned plenty of theoretical concepts of Eric Berne's psychology (Transactional Analysis), which I now apply in my practice.


I was able to overcome my low self-esteem and emotional dependency, cultivating a more solid and realistic image of myself, fully trusting in my abilities to overcome all the challenges life presents.


From childhood until recently, I had learned that my intense personality and excessive energy made others uncomfortable, leading me to hide my true self so as to fit in. Today I´ve learnt to embrace my authenticity and shine without fear of being myself.


Family constellations taught me to free myself from judgments and expectations, accepting that everything is perfect as it is, and that the best way to honor my ancestors is to fill in my own place and no one else's, and live my life my own way.


From my teenage years until a few years ago, my relationship with my mother was conflictive and painful, but we both worked in order to heal our wounds and build a loving connection from a place of gratitude, accepting that each of us does the best we can with the level of consciousness we have at each moment.


As I raised my levels  of consciousness, I understood that we are not victims of our past or the result of the actions and omissions of our parents and environment, but that all of that is what our soul chose to learn in this life. We have all the power and freedom to choose the reality we want to live in and we are the main character in the movie of our lives.


I also learned that in order to heal and move forward on our path, it is necessary to lovingly integrate our entire past, embracing both our light and our shadows.


I believe that one of the qualities of being human is that we have the possibility to continue learning until the day we die, so I know that there are still many lessons for me to learn.

  • only your soul knows the truth about what is best for you and what path you need to take,
  • and that my greatest gift is to connect with the soul and guides of people and identify the origin of the issues you need to to work on (whether it is in this life or a past one, and wether it´s yours or from your ancestors)


My mission is to accompany you in your process and help you to:


  • raise your level of consciousness,
  • discover your essence and your gifts,
  • free yourself from limiting beliefs and thoughts,
