We recently connected with Margherita Proietto and have shared our conversation below.
Margherita, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
In the depths of my soul, a light flickered, nearly extinguished by the shadows of depression, secrecy and abuse. Yet, it was in these darkest moments that I discovered my greatest strength.
Growing up, I hid my true self, trapped in the closet, fearful of rejection. The weight of secrecy fueled my depression, a constant companion that whispered worthlessness. But it was only the beginning.
A relationship that promised love turned into a nightmare of domestic violence. Broken and shattered, I lost sight of my identity. However, in the midst of chaos, a spark within me ignited.
One fateful night a spiritual awakening occurred, I surrendered to my inner voice, embracing my true self. The floodgates of emotions opened, and I confronted my pain. In this vulnerable moment, I discovered my source – my spirituality.
As I embarked on this journey, I uncovered my purpose: guiding others through their darkness. No one should traverse the path I walked alone.

Empowering Spiritual Growth: Intuitive Healing & Holistic Wellness an intuitive healer and Curandera
I’m Donna Espiritista (Margherita), an intuitive spiritual life coach and healer. Born on the enchanting island of Sciacca, Sicily, Italy in 1982, I was divinely called to spiritual service and here is how:
My adolescent years were marked by feelings of isolation and disconnection, which later contributed to my struggles with depression. Seeking validation, I made unfulfilling choices and struggled with self-identity. The discovery of my sexuality brought additional pain, forcing me to conceal my true self. This silence led to suicidal contemplation. Subsequent relationships lacking boundaries further eroded my self-worth, culminating in a traumatic partnership marred by domestic violence. Hitting rock bottom, I lost everything: job, friends, love and hope.
In a transformative moment, I surrendered to a higher power, sparking my spiritual awakening. This pivotal night granted glimpses of a future filled with purpose and healing. Through diligent self-work, I came to understand the lessons hidden within my darkest experiences – depression, abuse and trauma. This realization ignited my passion to support others navigating similar struggles.
Now, as an intuitive healer and spiritual life coach, I live my purpose daily. My practices empower individuals to overcome trauma, find self-love and discover their path. Having walked the darkness, I offer compassionate guidance and healing support.
From darkness to light, my transformative path has revealed the intricacies of human nature,
Guided by ancestral wisdom, my own spiritual quadrant and Ochun’s loving energies, my journey weaves self-discovery, healing and growth. Embracing my spiritual gifts, I dedicate myself to illuminating paths and fostering progress for all.
