When I first started Valavero with our flagship experience MediPaint, I had always envisioned a bigger picture - a space where creativity and mindfulness could come together to help people restore inner balance, gain clarity, and realign through art in a way that’s both relaxing and deeply healing.

My early mindfulness practice reshaped the way I moved through life, gradually changing the way I react to and interact with others. As my relationships and life improved with this practice, I got starry-eyed with the idea that the world would truly be a better place if self-awareness, focused reflection, and meditation were widely taught and practiced. So much of what we experience in the world is internal attitude and perspective.

But how do we make mindfulness feel approachable.. something people can genuinely connect with, rather than retreat into? Especially when we live in a time where people are feeling more lonely than ever.

I envisioned a collective of artists and facilitators transforming creative expression into pathways for healing and growth, offering experiences that awaken presence, connection, and emotional balance.

Through Valavero, we’re redefining what a mindfulness practice can look like: less about solitude, more about shared energy and creative flow. We use different forms of art to help facilitate the process of meditation and get you into a flow state, and these creative experiences, or practices, make mindfulness tangible. 

Valavero was created as both an entry point and a return. An invitation that meets you where you are through a guided practice, and a place to return to whenever you need to realign, reconnect, or rediscover yourself through creativity. Every session we offer follows the Valavero Experience Arc, creating a welcoming and familiar atmosphere no matter which modality you choose to practice. You can drop in whenever you feel called, or make it a rhythm, returning each month or season to explore new forms of creative mindfulness. Over time, it becomes a practice that deepens presence, creativity, and connection with oneself and others.

Our work sits at the intersection of art, wellness, and community - for individuals seeking inner regulation, creative expression, and connection in a time when loneliness and overstimulation are far too common. And while each journey is personal, it unfolds within the collective. Because healing doesn’t have to happen alone. Valavero is meant to bring people together. We create space for genuine connection. A community where growth - moments of insight, release, and renewal - are shared and celebrated.

In all of these sessions, our inner state is the main focus, with creation being led by intuition. Sessions are completely guided and require no experience or artistic skill.

To be more present in life, to seek out what is truly aligned with you, to feel like you belong. This is the experience I hope Valavero offers you. That you are empowered and inspired to live better, stronger, and happier. Valavero was created for YOU. 

with love,
