HI, I’M VALISHA.

My work is rooted in a deep love for people, plants and this planet.

I’ve spent years tending gardens, sitting with elders, holding space for living and dying, and supporting others through life’s thresholds.

After owning a wellness center and years of training in breathwork, herbalism, energy healing and end-of-life care, I now offer private sessions and small group experiences for women who feel the pull to live more rooted, embodied and connected lives.

ABOUT

Hi, I’m
Valisha

Beauty has always mattered to me. I worked in fashion before my life led me to gardens, breathwork, and caring for people at life’s thresholds. I still notice color, texture, light, and the feeling of a space when someone enters it. I pay attention to those details because care can be felt before a word is spoken.

READ MY STORY

BEAUTY

To me, beauty is
an expression of care

Flowers gathered for a table, tea made for someone arriving, a room prepared with intention—each says, I thought about what it might feel like for you to be here.

Beauty doesn’t erase what is difficult. It helps me stay present to life, including the difficult parts.

THE BODY

My body changed
the course of my life

I began living with ulcerative colitis at thirteen. For decades, illness shaped my pace, my choices, and how safe I felt in my own body. I became skilled at carrying on, even when carrying on came at a cost.

A breathwork experience became a turning point for me. I felt how much of my life I had spent bracing, and I made a new choice about being fully here in my body. The symptoms that had structured my life for so long have since resolved. That is one of the biggest changes I’ve lived through. It’s part of why I trust that a person’s story can change, even after years of feeling it never will.

FOOD

Food is part of
my story, too

Nourishment has never been a simple subject for me. There were times early in life when I learned not to trust that what I needed would arrive. Later, illness made it hard for my body to receive nourishment even when I ate.

I’m still learning what it means to feed myself with care, to receive enough, and to let enough be enough. This isn’t a lesson I teach from a distance. I’m living it. It has deepened my respect for the many ways a person can hunger—for food, rest, steadiness, beauty, and connection.

PRACTICE

What I bring
into the room

I’ve tended gardens, sat with elders, and been present with people who are dying. Those experiences taught me to pay attention—to the room, to the person in front of me, and to what needs time.

Before you arrive, I prepare the space with care. Once you’re here, I listen. I bring years of study and practice, but I don’t arrive with a script for who you should be. There is room for whatever the day brings.

A PLACE TO BEGIN

You are welcome
as you are

We can begin right there.

A WAY OF LIVING IN RELATIONSHIP

You may not need to do more
You may need another way to meet what is here

Come as you are. Receive what this moment calls for

Reiki, crystals, sound and plant spirit mists come together in a session shaped around you. You may be seeking grounding, clarity, renewed energy or something you can’t yet put into words. I tend the space with care and intention, allowing these practices to meet you where you are. There is nothing you need to do or achieve; you can simply arrive and receive.

Meet what is keeping you stuck. Create the life you want

You may want something different and still find yourself in the same situations, repeating the same patterns. RBM Breathwork begins with what is most alive in your life. Through intention, conscious connected breathing and reflection, you can feel and process what has been shaping those patterns. As that becomes conscious, you can respond differently and actively create the life you want.

EXPLORE RBM SESSIONS

Practice being in relationship with nature

Each month, we spend two gatherings in relationship with one plant. We begin by slowing down to meet this ancient living being through tea, meditation and quiet sensing—listening before asking what it can do for us. When we meet again, we deepen that connection and learn practical ways to engage with the plant. The days between gatherings matter, too: they give the relationship time to grow and find its way into daily life.

From $75 per gathering · Two gatherings each month

EXPLORE THE LIVING APOTHECARY

A place to be together through the seasons of life

Small, intimate gatherings created around season, relationship, nourishment and shared experience. Some may bring several forms of care together. Others may gather us around plants, food, breath, conversation or the changing seasons. The form can change. The intention remains the same: to create spaces where we can be with ourselves, one another and the living world in a more meaningful way.
