Dr. Viviana Zenteno: My Story

I studied at the University of Concepción, Chile, obtaining my professional degree of surgeon in 1979.

Later I specialized in Internal Medicine and rheumatology at the Hospital San Juan de Dios in Santiago de Chile.

Already at this time the concern to heal my patients beyond what was achievable with the tools of conventional medicine arose in me.

This is how, after 15 years of care and teaching work at the Felix Bulnes Hospital, also in Santiago, I dedicated myself to my consultation and to deepen into my personal process. This process led me to explore my past lives and my life mission with Dr. Ronald Schulz (RIP), a pioneer of this therapy in Chile.

Following these signs, I contacted Dr. Jose Luis Cabouli, an Argentine doctor who trains therapists and is the author of famous books on Past Life Therapy with whom I completed my training as a PLT therapist in Buenos Aires (1999-2000).

Once I graduated and applied the technique I felt the absolute need to spread it, teach it and to ensure the ethical and first level exercise of Regression Therapy.

 Thus in 2005 I founded the Dr. Viviana Zenteno Academy of Regression Therapy, providing Professional Training with a unique standard in Chile and at the same time time disseminating the benefits of therapy to the general public.

 In 2013 a group of professionals who graduated in my Academy and myself created the Chilean Association of Therapists ACHEVIP , being myself its first president and current Vice President.

 Uniting my vocation as a healer with that of a writer, I have published 3 books: 

“Regressions: Therapy of the Soul”, 2004

 “PLT Instruction Manual for Professional Training Courses”, 2008

 “The Soul Knows: A Method of Healing through PLT”, 2015

 I have also published in the most prestigious International Journal of Regression Therapy:

“Loss of the Soul, a model for Post Traumatic Stress”-Viviana Zenteno- The International Journal of Regression Therapy , Volumen XXIII, 2015

Soul Loss, a Model for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder – Viviana Zenteno (Is.27)

“Seven visions of the practice of Past Life Therapy in Chile”-Viviana Zenteno et als- The International Journal of Regression Therapy , Volumen XXIII, 2015

Seven Visions of Past-Life Therapy Practice in Chile – Viviana Zenteno (Is.27)

The advent of the pandemic with all its sorrows and difficulties meant anyway a learning and an evolution for the Academy and for the Association (something that is very consistent with what we learn in our therapy).

 That is how the Professional Training Course became a hybrid course that combines virtual teaching modules with experiential practice modules maintaining the high level of learning that characterizes us. 

On the other hand our association ACHTEVIP® has positioned itself internationally with connections and recognitions that have allowed us to be present at the AETR Symposia, Spain, and at the Mexico Conference, in which I have participated as a lecturer.

 Also next year 2023, I am one of the teachers who will participate in the International Advanced Training Course in Regression Therapy, aimed at therapists trained in regression therapy of training schools recognized by associations from Chile, Argentina, Spain, Europe (Earth), and other schools of recognized prestige.
