Meet Your Practitioner
Joe Cianciulli | Founder of Yupaichani Center for Healing
Ayurvedic Practitioner • South American Medicine Carrier • Licensed Bodyworker
With a rare blend of clinical training and deep spiritual lineage, Joe Cianciulli brings one of the most comprehensive healing approaches available in the West today.
Joe’s journey began not in a clinic, but on the stage—as a professional ballet dancer, opera singer, and pianist. These years immersed in elite performance gave him a profound understanding of the body, discipline, and energy. But it was through healing that he found his true calling.
After earning a degree in Speech Language Pathology and completing a decade of vocal pedagogy training under voice builder Dan E. Montes, Joe shifted toward integrative medicine. He undertook a three-year professional apprenticeship in Ayurveda under renowned physician Dr. Alpa Bhatt, while completing his massage therapy licensure and training in marma therapy and cupping.
His path then led to the sacred traditions of South American Curanderismo, where he became the first American man trained in a private lineage of Ecuadorian abdominal alignment—a rare system offered only in two other North American clinics. Joe studied this lineage intimately within a women's health clinic before founding his own practice.
Today, Joe is one of the only practitioners offering a truly integrated system combining:
- Ayurvedic diagnostics and bodywork
- South American abdominal realignment
- Energetic healing and organ detox
- Education for self-regulation and long-term vitality
Clients trust him for his clinical skill, emotional wisdom, and life-changing results.
“I’m not here to treat your symptoms—I’m here to help your body remember how to heal.”
