About Your Instructor, Valerie

Valerie Sanjali Irons is a masterful sound alchemist, intuitive artist, and breathwork practitioner who has been transforming lives in Sedona since 2014. Her approach to healing integrates ancient wisdom with modern understanding, creating a unique bridge between science and spirit. Through her signature “Soundwave Journeys” using her innovative Soundwave Bed™, Valerie guides clients to access their own innate healing abilities, helping them navigate physical, emotional, and spiritual transitions.

In 2017, Valerie’s practice expanded to include specialized womb healing work, where she assists women in releasing ancestral patterns, processing trauma, and rekindling their creative power. Her acquisition of Aumbase Sedona in 2019 allowed her to create a sanctuary where sound healing, breathwork, yoga, and connection to the land weave together in perfect harmony.

Valerie’s own healing journey through relationship wounds, abandonment, and worthiness challenges culminated in divine union with her beloved in late 2019. This personal transformation infuses her work with couples, offering authentic guidance for those seeking conscious partnerships. Following her 2022 breast cancer diagnosis, she expanded her practice to include holistic support for cancer patients, bringing profound empathy and practical wisdom to those navigating their own healing journeys.

As a multi-disciplinary artist who continues to paint and sculpt, Valerie understands the deep connection between creativity and healing. She views sound as a divine artistic medium, using frequencies to paint healing experiences unique to each individual or group she serves. Her work is a living testament to the transformative power of sound, breath, and creative expression.

Inspired by divine love and driven by genuine compassion, Valerie continues to evolve and expand her healing offerings while remaining deeply grateful for the opportunity to facilitate others’ healing journeys.

Visiting from Montana and did the Vortex yoga event.  Yolanda did a great job of navigating a busy yrailhead.  She found the perfect spot for us and allowed plenty of time at the end to take pictures.

I booked a vortex yoga with Chuck.  It was my birthday day that day.   No one else had booked a session so it worked out perfectly.  I had such a great session.  Chuck is amazing at what he does.  It truly was a treat.  He is very knowledgeable and nice.  I couldn’t have asked for a better yoga session.   If you ever book a session ask for Chucks schedule.  You won’t be disappointed.  And that view was breathtaking.  #Namaste.
