  • Valerie Haase

    FOUNDER | SOUND HEALING | BREATHWORK | SOMATICS

    Hi, I’m Valerie. I’m a certified sound healing therapist and trauma-informed breathwork facilitator with a long-standing connection to ceremonial cacao.

    My work is rooted in sound, breath, and somatic practices, shaped by years of study and lived experience with vibrational medicine. I work with tools that support grounding, clarity, and nervous system recalibration — guided by the intelligence of the body.

    At the core of my approach is the understanding that breath, sound, and voice play a central role in how we experience safety, resilience, and inner stability. When we listen closely, the body becomes the guide.

    Santulana retreats are designed as intimate, immersive experiences — spaces to slow down, reconnect, and engage with practices that support recalibration and clarity.

  • Rouane Wakim

    COUNSELOR | BIOFEEDBACK & SOUND HEALING THERAPIST

    My name is Rouane. Born in Beirut, raised in Geneva, and now based on Mexico’s Pacific coast, my work is shaped by a life lived across cultures and perspectives.

    After a career in finance, I followed a different calling and earned a master’s degree in Counseling. Since then, my path has led me to explore a range of complementary approaches, including neuroscience-informed training, sophrology, and sound-based practices.

    My work is grounded in presence, intuition, and careful listening. Rather than applying a fixed method, I meet each person where they are and draw from different modalities to support clarity, integration, and self-understanding.
