Caro Pampillo shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Hi Caro, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
I feel I’m finally being called to be completely myself — as an artist, a woman, and a guide.
For many years, I felt like a dolphin in an aquarium — performing, achieving, doing what was expected, but not fully free to express my true essence. I don’t think it was fear holding me back; it was more a quiet belief that I had to ‘earn’ my voice or prove myself. Life offered me deep challenges — moments that broke me open and forced me to start again from zero — but through those experiences, I found my purpose.
I’ve always known I wanted to create something that goes beyond entertainment — something that heals, empowers, and awakens. I began my spiritual journey at eleven, and I’ve worked in the entertainment industry since childhood, so for a long time I struggled to merge those two worlds. Now I realize that’s exactly my calling: to bridge spirit and artistic expression — where music becomes medicine and creation becomes a path of healing.
Today, I’m doing that through my Coaching — guiding singers, artists, creators and sensitive people to reconnect with their authentic soul expression, not just vocally, but energetically and spiritually. Each session is an invitation to align voice, body, mind, and soul, to rediscover the freedom to be fully oneself.
And through OCEANISM — a movement and philosophy I’m developing here in Hawai‘i — I explore the connection between the Ocean and our inner waters, merging science and spirituality through holistic healing, coaching, reflections, immersive music, meditation, storytelling, and a podcast that dives deeper into these themes.
My dream is to bring together the right team to grow OCEANISM into an organization that creates experiences, programs, and artistic projects designed to awaken awareness, honor ancestral wisdom, and inspire reconnection with life — and with our true essence.
In a way, I’m finally swimming free — in the open Ocean of creation, service, and truth.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m deeply grateful for my acting career — it allowed me to embody so many characters and emotions, to explore the vast tapestry of human experience. I began performing professionally as a child in Buenos Aires, training in ballet, contemporary dance, gymnastics, singing, and acting. By the age of seven, I was already appearing in commercials, and as a teenager, I starred as a lead in a musical series on national TV. Over the years, I continued as a lead in prime-time series, soap operas, and feature films across South America.
My stage work includes portraying Lucy in the legendary Drácula musical and Inga in Young Frankenstein alongside Guillermo Francella — performances that earned me A.C.E. and HUGO Award nominations, Argentina’s equivalent of the Tonys.
In 2014, after a life-changing event, I moved to the United States to support my son’s path. Leaving behind everything I had built, I started again in Los Angeles. I worked as a voiceover artist and gradually made my way onto Hollywood sets, joining SAG-AFTRA. Drawing from my kung fu black belt, extreme sports background, and experience performing my own stunt scenes in the Peruvian action film La Gran Sangre, I became a stunt double in several CBS shows — which led me to portray the badass Andrea Medina on NCIS: Hawai‘i.
Living in Hawai‘i has been such a blessing — surfing, freediving, and connecting with the mana of these islands. It’s where I found deep healing through nature, and during a three-month sailing journey around the islands, I received the inspiration for what would become OCEANISM.
Alongside acting, I’ve always been a self-taught, intuitive singer, songwriter, and producer. My debut album SINDHU, released in 2018, was independently produced and considered for a Grammy®, and my second album OMYSTICA (2025) is an immersive musical experience for deep ancestral healing.
All these experiences — from the sets and stages of Argentina to rebuilding in Hollywood, from facing life’s most painful challenges to the sacred journey of motherhood (my greatest teacher) — have shaped who I am today.
My calling now is also to help others through my coaching work, Empower Your True Voice, Path & Spirit, supporting artists and sensitive souls to reconnect with their authentic expression. And through OCEANISM, a movement and philosophy that honors water as the source of life. I’m creating music, meditations, and a podcast in both English and Spanish, to inspire reconnection with our true essence — through the wisdom of water, and with the Ocean within and around us.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
That’s what I’m still figuring out… haha! Based on how the world taught me to express myself, and the human need for meanings, names, and roles, I’d say I was… a loving soul, open, curious and playful. It’s a lifelong journey — learning to unlearn what we’ve been taught, so we can simply be: experiencing human life, love, and all the gifts each breath brings, being in tune with nature and remembering our essence. For me, it’s also about reconnecting with the life source from which we entered this human form — our mother’s womb, through water — and with the memory and wisdom of water, our planet’s womb, our Ocean.
What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
A repeating pattern in my life has involved rejection, abuse, manipulation, and destruction — a generational family wound that keeps showing up until it is consciously healed. I would calm my nervous system, almost without realizing it, through sports, dance and artistic expression — allowing me to express, release, and become a vessel for emotions. As our voice is central to the healing process, unhealed wounds and traumas can create blockages in both the voice and the body. Sometimes, while on stage or recording, it was hard to sing; my voice would break and I know it was emotional blockage. Meditation became an anchor, and the ocean — even just a few days at a time, when I lived far from the coast — has always been profoundly healing. For me, therapy, plant medicine with the right integration, nature, and music are essential tools for understanding, releasing, and transforming wounds.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What important truth do very few people agree with you on?
I like to say the Earth should really be called Planet Ocean — after all, it’s more water than land. But deeper than that, I believe water is consciousness itself — memory, emotion, and connection. As humanity, we have so much to learn from nature.
I feel the Ocean holds both feminine and masculine energies in harmony without ego. We humans carry both within us too, and healing means restoring that balance. The feminine energy — the life-giving, intuitive, nurturing force — has long been suppressed, just as the Ocean has been used and abused.
Reclaiming and restoring that balance — without ego — is part of our evolution, both individually and collectively.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What false labels are you still carrying?
I think false labels I might be carrying come from my acting career and the image the world expected: polished, high-heeled, and constantly in the spotlight. In reality, I’m mostly barefoot, happiest living off-grid, immersed in nature, and far from the city’s noise and crowds. While I can blend into any situation when needed, my soul thrives in simplicity, freedom, and connection with the natural world.
