Hailey Holl-Valdez

“Working with Hailey over the past year has been truly transformative. She is such an understanding, patient, and knowledgeable guide who creates a space where I feel completely safe and comfortable. Through her gentle yet powerful approach, I’ve been able to connect more deeply with myself, uncover the roots of old traumas, and discover my own inner strength. Hailey’s presence in my life has been a gift, and I’m deeply grateful for the growth and clarity she has helped me find.”

“Embodied Poetry allowed me to access a creative part of myself that I’ve never accessed before. Hailey’s gentle guidance through movements, meditations, and writing exercises inspired comfort and freedom for me to express a creativity living deep within me. The shared creativity that Hailey cultivated throughout the class culminated with a beautiful work of poetry which I truly cherish. I’m now incorporating the tools of embodiment I learned in the class, into my own life and feeling excited about these new connections to my creative self”

“Move As You Feel is a perfect combination of comforting, loving safe space with gentle warming of the body and lots of silliness and joy. It’s a lovely chunk of time totally free of other constraints to be gently guided through learning more about the softness and strength of your own body. Hailey is such an intuitive & caring facilitator, she meets you where you are and responds to your energetic level. I always leave class feeling empowered, confident and relaxed. It’s a great reminder that when we’re stuck in our own loops sometimes all we have to do is get up and move our body.”

“Hailey is one of the most intuitively gifted listeners I’ve ever talked with. She has an uncanny ability to repeat back to you exactly what you just said but in an entirely different way. Her kind restructuring of my own thoughts always helps me reflect and grow.

She is deeply anchored in herself so that while she is deeply empathetic and gentle she is also indomitable. Her capacity to hold such toughness alongside such vulnerability makes me trust that she is always a safe space.”

“Reflecting on my experience doing Move As You Feel, I think about the power of playing with my shape, moving with my feelings through dance/music & how the practice awakens me to my shape, the power I have to shift & expand & contract with my feeling, how much I have to do with the culture held within myself. With a curated playlist & gentle guidance into body, this offering is a space where that practice & awakening takes place”
