My Story

Emanuele Righes

Holistic Therapist · Tulum, México

Emanuele Righes is a meditation teacher, hypnosis expert, and passionate advocate for human potential and soul purpose. Born on March 13, 1988, in a small village in northern Italy, Emanuele's journey has been defined by an insatiable curiosity for the mysteries of the mind, the subconscious, and the connection between inner peace and human transformation.

From an early age, Emanuele was drawn to practices that explore consciousness. At just six years old, he began practicing Karate, which instilled in him discipline and a reverence for the mind-body connection. By 15, he was meditating regularly and immersing himself in healing modalities, psychology, neuroscience, and Eastern and Western philosophies under the guidance of wise mentors.

At 18, Emanuele became one of the youngest meditation teachers in Italy, certified by the Art of Living Foundation. That same year, he completed his first silent meditation retreat at the Art of Living International Meditation Center in Germany. The profound stillness and insight he gained during this retreat left him with a deep sense of inner peace and sparked a lifelong commitment to self-awareness and self-inquiry.

In 2010, Emanuele traveled to Bangalore, India, to deepen his knowledge of Vedic traditions under the guidance of his mentor, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Immersing himself in Sanskrit mantra chanting, advanced meditation practices, Jyotish (Vedic astrology), Ayurveda, and ancient scriptures, he built the foundation of his transformative approach to self-awareness and healing.

Emanuele's journey continued as he explored other modalities of inner work. In 2017, he earned certification from the ISI-CNV International Institute for Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnosis, Communication Non-Verbal (CNV), Leadership, and Coaching under the mentorship of Marco Parent. This broadened his understanding of how the subconscious mind shapes human behavior, adding powerful tools to his practice.

Today, Emanuele resides in Mexico, where he continues his exploration of local shamanic traditions while offering his unique blend of teachings. With nearly 20 years of experience traveling, learning, and teaching, he creates transformational experiences for individuals and groups.

I believe that healing is not a destination. It is a daily return — to the body, to the present, to the truth of who you are beneath the stories you've been told.

How I Work

Guiding Principles

Holistic Vision

Every person is a living ecosystem — mind, body, emotion, and spirit are inseparable. Healing one thread heals the whole.

Non-Judgment

In this space, there is room for all of you — the light and the shadow, the wounds and the gifts. Nothing needs to be hidden or performed.

Empowerment

Therapy is not about fixing you — you are not broken. It is about remembering your innate wholeness and reclaiming your power.

Deep Collaboration

You are the expert on your own life. I am a compassionate companion on the path — present, curious, and deeply committed to your growth.

Begin the Conversation

Reaching out is the first act of courage. A session is waiting for you — no pressure, no commitment.
