VALARIE WILSON

Founder & Co-DIRECTOR of Golden AURA

Welcome! My name is Valarie Wilson. I practice, demonstrate and teach techniques for stress relief, relaxation, embodied awareness and connection. 

My Services, Classes & Appointments

I uniquely personalize and blend yoga, meditation, energy, sound and vibrational wellness practices to provide in-studio private appointments and small group classes at Golden Aura and within our local community.


I teach children’s yoga, and private family yoga classes in-studio by appointment. I have 20+ years experience and immense dedication to working with children, individuals and families experiencing special needs, neurodiversity, mental health and mobility challenges. 


I am available in-studio for private Reiki energy healing appointments throughout the week. I teach Reiki training classes at Golden Aura several times throughout the year.

COMMUNITY WELLNESS STRATEGIST

 I am also a holistic educator, business consultant and community strategist. I design innovative programs aimed at cultivating resilient individuals, organizations and communities. 


I develop and facilitate on-site classroom and outdoor programming for schools, youth groups, sports teams, professional organizations and non-profit foundations by request. 


I design and facilitate unique fundraising, promotional and team-building activities, events and programming. 


I am passionate about developing and facilitating therapeutic yoga classes and programs for survivors of child abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, human trafficking, addiction and suicide.
