🎙️🎙️Aloha and welcome to today’s conversation, where we are honored to share space with the remarkable Valerie Beltran—a healer, therapist, and compassionate guide who has redefined what it means to hold space for others. Valerie’s journey into the world of therapy feels almost preordained, driven by her lifelong fascination with people and their stories. Her superpower? Being super at being human.

Known for her unique ability to create a safe, judgment-free environment, Valerie is the confidante for life’s most vulnerable moments—the person you can trust with your deepest truths. Her presence is both grounding and empowering, offering a balance of strength and surrender, gentleness and directness. In her sessions, you’ll find not just a therapist but a collaborator, a cheerleader for your inner healing, and at times, a friend who knows the power of simply listening.

Valerie’s approach is a masterful blend of Western psychology, Eastern and Indigenous traditions, and cutting-edge research on the mind-body connection. She sees humanity through a lens of neurodiversity, rejecting the outdated notions of “normal” and instead celebrating the vast and creative potential of human differences. Her work is compassionate, collaborative, and deeply informed by both science and spirit.

Today, we’ll dive into Valerie’s world—exploring her journey, her wisdom, and her commitment to helping others uncover their most authentic selves. Let’s welcome Valerie Beltran to the conversation!
