Camila Sunshine

Camila Sunshine is a meditation teacher on Insight Timer, a somatic therapist and an online course and business mentor for therapists, healers and other multi-passionate "soulpreneurs." Her Insight Timer page describes her as an International Best-selling author and Soul Purpose & Embodiment Mentor, with a mission to encourage each being to find their personal brilliance and place in the world.

Her path began in two worlds. She combines 14 years in information technology, structuring and developing large projects, with a 12-year career as an energy worker: kinesiologist, massage therapist, Reiki practitioner, and wellness and embodiment coach. She says she did not expect the two to meet, until she realised her brain could build structures that help creative, right-brained people turn their ideas into tangible programs. Her somatic work blends massage, kinesiology, Reiki, movement and nervous system reset. She has also created a mind-body modality called Body Alchemy.

In 2018 she moved her in-person healing business online so she could travel from Australia back to Brazil without losing her income. She has since built a following of more than 7,000 people on Insight Timer and created over ten courses. Her work now centres on helping therapists, coaches and healers package what they know into online courses and programs, including through Insight Timer, so they can reach more people with less burnout.

Meditation is also a personal practice. She has sat two 10-day Vipassana retreats, the first in 2011, and has written about carrying their lessons into daily life: time blocking, mindful use of her phone and simpler routines. She describes herself as intuitive, an Aquarian, and drawn to community. Her YouTube channel is a gathering place for multi-passionate rule breakers, change makers and freedom seekers who prefer the beach to an office.
