Your Instructor: Valerie B. Irons

Valerie Sanjali Irons is an artist, sound alchemist and breathwork practitioner practicing in Sedona, AZ since 2014. Immersed in the world of sacred sound, she offers private sessions – “Soundwave Journeys” – using her Soundwave Bed™, as well as breathwork for individuals and groups. Her work expanded to include womb healing in 2017, helping women address and clear issues related to pregnancy, ancestral imprints, abuse, creativity and more. She purchased Aumbase Sedona in 2019, incorporating sound healing, breathwork and healing sessions into the already established yoga and land journey studio. Her personal healing path deeply revolved around the healing of relationship wounds, abandonment and worthiness, which set the stage for her divine union with her beloved in late 2019. Together, they enjoy sharing their gifts and knowledge with couples aspiring towards conscious relationships.

She has been a holistic guide for cancer patients since her 2022 breast cancer diagnosis (she is continuing to thrive while healing). Valerie continues to paint and sculpt as she is dedicated to divine healing through the arts. Inspired by divine love, she is deeply grateful.
