Background
I’ve lived many lives in this one precious life, and I’ve never fit neatly under one title. I’m a teacher, guide, ceremonialist, musician, artist and dancer. Above all, I’m a lifelong student of what it means to be human.
I didn’t come to this work because I had it figured out. For years my relationships were broken. I’d explode, cut and run, shut down, or give my power away just to keep the peace. Stress was my baseline, and I had never really felt safe. Those hard lessons, painful awakenings and ways of coping eventually asked me to choose another path.
So I did. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been on a path of healing, learning and remembering. Psychotherapy, alternative medicine, breathwork, somatics, psychology, movement and art each became a way of coming home to myself. I don’t offer what I haven’t embodied. What I share, I have lived.
I’m a certified Conscious Connected Breathwork practitioner and Psychic Reiki Master, and I trained as a coach and leader through Landmark. I guide community gatherings, workshops, retreats, festivals and trainings, and I’ve worked with thousands of people around the world. Alongside this, I’ve built businesses, developed programs and helped others bring their visions to life.
Movement and music have carried me through every chapter. I’ve taught dance and fitness for more than 20 years, owned a dance studio for eight, trained in ballet through the Royal Academy of Dance and completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training. Music came into my life early and is still one of my greatest teachers. My voice is my primary instrument, joined by the handpan, shruti box, drum and guitar.
Every chapter has deepened my compassion and shaped how I meet the people I work with. Now I hold the kind of space I once needed, where you can come as you are and feel safe enough to come home to yourself.
It’s time to live as the light you are.

My mission is to help create a kinder, more conscious and more loving world by changing the way we understand and relate to ourselves.
I believe healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s a process of coming home to our bodies, our breath, our needs and the wisdom that has always lived within us.
With awareness, we begin to meet our emotions, patterns and survival responses with compassion. We learn to stay with ourselves through discomfort instead of running, to listen to what our experience is telling us, and to remember that we have a choice in how we respond.
This is the heart of my work: creating spaces where people feel safe enough to feel, remember and reconnect with their wholeness.
Because when we change our relationship with ourselves, we change the way we meet one another, and that ripples out into our relationships, our families, our communities and the world we share.

What our people are saying
"I felt safe enough to experience things I might otherwise have held back from, and to share in ways I rarely do. I left with a cougar as my spirit guide, more clarity about what I want for myself, and a deeper trust in my own inner knowing. Thank you for creating something so thoughtful and so human."

"She guided me through a magical experience that could be compared to a psychedelic journey — but without any substances. I recommend a breathwork journey with Vela to anyone, any day!"
