Testimonials

  • “Working with you was such a wonderful experience. I felt so safe and comfortable in the space you created and was happy to open up because I knew it’s be welcomed and encouraged. It truly changed my perspective and opened my eyes to a lot. I can’t wait for the next opportunity to work with you!”

  • “One of my favorite healing moments with you was an ancestor meditation we did together in your altar space at your home. It was so beautiful and powerful connecting with my male ancestors, since I just had a relationship with my female ancestors at that point. Thank you for opening my eyes to judgement I had inherited and showing me there is so much more to enjoy and learn.”

  • “Mi testimonio in participating in the women's circle was simply beautiful. It was a space for us mujeres to focus on our breathing. Something we take for granted and we unconsciously do everyday. But when you hold a space like this one where you can take the time to feel yourself breathing among other mujeres it is so powerful. We constantly go through oppressive systems where we do not take 1 minute to pause and just breathe.”

  • Extremely grateful for the experience! Inspired deeper reflection and spiritual wellness. Valeria helped me lean into something I had been interested in focusing on but just needed a little push to step into it. The healing, sisterhood & spiritual guidance was everything I needed. I look forward to working with V in the future and can't recommend her enough. <3

  • I loved the grief/letting go ceremony. I was having a lot of pain in my left hip and I haven't felt the same pain since. I also have been feeling lighter, no more deep anger that would pop up. I'm still peeling back other layers and working through them, but the anger was a big layer I had a hard time peeling back and off of my body/spirit. Thank you for that!

  • “Working with Valeria has allowed my soul to expand and my aura to shine brighter. She has a kind and warm heart, like an older sister looking out for you. All her offers are planned with so much detail and passion, and every offer is unique. She is my soul sister, and I genuinely love being in her space”- Joissy
