Valerie Holbert,
NBC-HWC | REIKI MASTER | RYT-500 | INNER PRESENCE COACH
Reiki & Intuitive Energy Healing | Inner Presence IFS Coaching | Health & Wellness Coaching | Yoga & Somatic Tools | Living Design | Soul Alchemy Sessions
Transforming our struggles into our strengths is where we all have the opportunity to find both power and peace. Like many other healers, my deepest traumas and wounds led me to discovering my gifts and calling as a healer. We are living in a time where the call to move through old patterns and reconnect to ourselves, to each other and the planet is getting stronger, louder and more intense. Now more than ever, we need trusted guides, sacred spaces and community to support our transformation as individuals and as a collective.
“As within, so without, as above, so below, as the universe, so the soul.”
- Hermes
Our internal world is connected to what is created in the world around us. By regulating our nervous system, expanding our consciousness and finding personal meaning and peace within, we can change our frequency. That frequency has a ripple effect that extends in all directions and is healing not just for ourselves but also for our ancestors, our descendants and the planet as a whole.
It may feel selfish to do deep inner work when it seems like the world is on fire—but it’s actually the medicine. It’s easy to feel stuck, sad, angry, overwhelmed, constricted and even afraid. For many of us, we’re finding we are no longer willing or able to stay stuck in that place. Old ways aren’t working anymore.
In my own journey as well as in my work with clients, I've found that integrating multiple modalities like intuitive energy healing, breathwork, guided meditation, movement, parts work and other mind body practices provide the safety and space to regulate our nervous systems and cultivate extraordinary growth, healing and spiritual connection.
Together, we’ll assess what blend of services will work best for you according to your needs and level of comfort including intuitive reiki and energy healing, somatic tools, breathwork, mantra, goal setting, coaching, movement and parts work. It will look different for each person and even different in each session. All of my services can be offered in individual, single sessions in person or distance by phone or zoom. My favorite is to integrate them in what I call Soul Alchemy sessions over multiple weeks or months where we can go deeper over time and allow integration between sessions.
If you’re not sure where to start or have questions, I also offer a free 20 minute discovery call. I’m excited to be working in Black Mountain again in this beautiful space with so many gifted healers and look forward to connecting. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me kayaking on a local river, walking trails within view of the water, snuggling with my crazy dogs, spending time with friends and family, staring at the moon and clouds or planning my next adventure.
