Hi, I'm Valerie AlkenI'm a lifelong dancer, teacher, spiritual explorer and guidance in the world of holistic wellbeing. I weave together movement, sound, and energy healing to reconnect to the essence and power of our bodies, mind and soul.
I provide a safe and compassionate space where I channel for those who seek reconnection, exploration, balance and radiant transformation. I'm certified as a Sound healer, Yoga teacher, Reiki Master, and Dance instructor- specializing in Salsa, Bachata, Afro-Latin dance, and specific Dance Healing practices. I also have a background in Social Work and Bodywork and before my move to Koh Samui, Thailand I ran a beauty- & wellness business where I integrated Pranic & Crystal healing. All main threads of my life - dance, yoga, sound healing, psychology and spirituality - became one living , breathing tapestry of empowerment and soulful healing and I believe the path to wellness and wellbeing can be both sacred and joyful. |
Service areaI am mainly based in Koh Samui Thailand, where provide in-person sessions, and I also travel for retreats and workshops all around the world. Online sessions from anywhere are also available, so feel free to reach out to me and we can schedule a session of your interest. My studio in Koh Samui is also available to those who are looking to join group classes while on the island.

Testimonials
I was fortunate enough to spend quality time taking care of body, mind and soul. Valerie was my Yoga Teacher while I stayed at the Kamalaya Wellness Resort. She is such a great, gentle and considered person - who always tweaked the morning session, based on what I needed on that particulate day. Till today I cherish my time with her-and it had a lasting effect. - Lilian R.
Valerie is such a lovely, kind, and knowledgeable teacher, I could not recommend her more! I took her salsa and bachata dance classes which were structured and instructed really well, and also attended sound healing sessions with her which were meticulously crafted to create a serene and safe space, where people could feel held. Such beautiful experiences! - W.T
Amazing experience! Valerie is very professional and attentive guide. My husband has never practiced yoga before and he learned a lot in one class. - אודיה
Valerie gently introduced what we were about to experience. Her voice was steady and soothing. For someone like me, whose mind is usually buzzing in high Beta due to a thirst for learning and a tendency toward overthinking, finding inner stillness is a challenge. But just minutes into the session, with the help of my breath and the surrounding resonance, I felt my mind soften and release. My body melted into the floor, grounded by the earth, and for the first time in a long while, I felt true peace. What truly surprised me were the visions that came vivid, spontaneous, and full of meaning. Insights surfaced that my waking mind had long buried or blocked. It felt like a gentle unlocking of something deeper.
This was more than a relaxing experience it was transformative. I’ve never had anything quite like it. ’ll absolutely be making this part of my weekly routine - Rob B.
simply the best!! full of spirit, knowledge and soul! - Sandra H.
