Hello love!

My name is Valerie Van Ryn Berselli.

I am a Somatic Womb Alchemist, Kundalini Yoga and Meditation Teacher, and Polarity Therapy Practitioner. 

I help those who feel disconnected from themselves and their true nature, find their radiant and alive spirit again.

My gift is bringing out the playfulness and joy in the process while witnessing and honoring all of what is YOU.

The journey of healing can be complex and intense, and I believe a little fun and celebration are necessary elements along the way!

If you are experiencing discomfort within your womb space or feeling separated from yourself or the world, Somatic Womb Alchemy can help you access more harmony and ease.

Just imagine feeling more centered, connected, and alive...
With compassion and love, I guide people to meet where they are finding dissonance to reconnect with their aligned and empowered selves.

I assist clients in building a loving relationship to their womb, experiencing their inner sacred feminine, and embodying their authentic selves. 

Somatic Womb Alchemy sessions may include somatic experiencing, ceremonies, rituals, plant spirits, guided meditation journeys, individualized spiritual prescriptions, and more!

My story is one of a lost soul and the journey of finding myself. Isn’t that all of ours? 

After being burnt out working at a news station and experiencing intense sudden loss, I quit my job and began a radical quest to reorient my life.

This brought me to a messy but beautiful journey of traveling the world and searching for ways to soothe my aching heart.

I course-corrected from partying to meditating in the Himalayas, joined a mystical pilgrimage in France, apprenticed beside a traditional Balinese healer, ecstatic danced my pain away, spent all of my money, and still found a way to keep going... experiencing many highs and lows on the way. Ironically, it was at home in San Francisco where I found what I had been looking for.

This was where I deep dived into a practice of Kundalini yoga and meditation which led me to the cliche but very real discovery that what I was looking for had always been within me. 

As I experienced undeniable results, I felt a calling to help other lost souls. In addition to teaching yoga, my heart was pulling me towards holding one-on-one healing space.

I knew the truth that YOU are always your own greatest healer, and also that there are amazing ancient techniques and modern guides who can help you access that space within yourself when you get lost.

So I found myself dabbling in as many healing modalities I could get my hands on, including learning Bali Usada, Reiki, Sat Nam Rasayan, and Polarity Therapy. 

On this journey I began having health issues which my doctor, specialists, and numerous tests could not answer.

It was incredibly frustrating and I felt like I would never get back to my normal self again.

After a lot of searching, with the help of Wise Womb Medicine Path and a skilled acupuncturist, I was able to find some relief and alleviate my symptoms.

The blessing of this experience was finding my own empowerment within my healing journey and seeing my body, even when it caused me pain, as my helping ally.

Naomi Love’s teachings have been fundamental in my experience of integrating the sacred feminine within myself and also showing me a slow, earth-based, feminine way of spirituality which I had been deeply longing for.

All of my experiences, adventures, and spiritual teachings have played a role in my own journey of coming home to myself and healing with self-love: the never-ending path.

So, it is with great gratitude that I share these sacred practices with you.

Email me to book a remote or in-person session. I look forward to hearing from you.

With Love, Valerie

“Val, thank you so much for your loving kindness and care for me over our sessions together.

I truly felt heard, held, and supported in our sessions. I was able to open up to you freely and deeply in a very short amount of time.

I appreciate that you honored where I was at and did not give me more to do or overwhelm me or judge me. The practices you chose for our session were very beautiful and perfect for me.

The suggestions you had for me were very insightful. Your calming voice in the groundings and journeys took me to a deep meditative space immediately. I really felt a shift of the energy with each of our sessions.

I’m so grateful for your time and care, and I’m so happy you’ll be out there helping more people with this medicine. Thank you for checking on me after the sessions and being so gentle with me.

It’s just what I needed.” - Jennifer Straw
