Who I Am

Hello, beautiful soul. I’m Val, founder of V.A.L — Venture Awake Liberates.

I am a Shaman, Spiritual Awakener, Certified Life Resilience & Conflict Resolution Coach, Author — and someone who’s walked through grief, trauma, divorce, parenting, and deep transformation.

My journey wasn’t easy. Life asked me painful questions. But in the ashes of survival, I discovered a truth: healing doesn’t have to feel sharp or forced. Healing can be gentle, grounding, and deeply human.

Through my own healing, I learned how to blend ancient wisdom with modern sensitivity — to meet trauma with compassion, to trust the body’s language, and to weave ancestral remembering with somatic presence. This path awakened in me a calling: to AWAKE others back to their essence.

Now, I offer you not a fix — but a remembering . A safe, grounded space where you can reclaim your voice, feel seen, and reconnect with the deepest roots of your soul.⸻

My Path

For many years I searched for healing outside of myself. What I learned instead was this:

Healing happens when the nervous system feels safe.

Power returns when shame dissolves into compassion.

The soul speaks clearly when the body is allowed to breathe.

My work blends:

• Trauma-informed embodiment

• Nervous system regulation

• Ancestral and shamanic wisdom

• Intuitive guidance

• Somatic and emotional integration

This path did not make me “above” others.

It made me the Awakener the one that help you see your truth and essence.

My Mission

I believe every human being deserves to feel seen, safe, and whole — not just in their mind, but in their body and soul. I believe that survival need not be the story we carry forward. And I believe that our deep pain holds seeds of power, wisdom, and transformation.

I’m here to guide you in:

  • Turning shame into compassionate strength

  • Reconnecting with your innate intuition and ancestral lineage

  • Creating a life rooted in grounded presence, soulful truth, and embodied integrity

Because healing isn’t a burden — it can be a homecoming.
