Valerie Holbert,
NBC-HWC | REIKI MASTER | RYT-500 | INNER PRESENCE COACH
Weaving Quantum Energy Healing | IFS | Shamanic Practices | Somatic Exploration
Transforming our struggles into our strengths is where we all have the opportunity to find both power and peace. Like many other healers, my deepest traumas and wounds led me to discover my gifts and calling as a healer. We are living in a time where the call to move through old patterns and reconnect to ourselves, to each other, and the planet is getting stronger, louder, and more intense. Now more than ever, we need trusted guides, sacred spaces, and community to support our transformation as individuals and as a collective.
“As within, so without, as above, so below, as the universe, so the soul.”
- Hermes
Our internal world is connected to what is created in the world around us. By regulating our nervous system, expanding our consciousness, and finding personal meaning and peace within, we can change our frequency. That frequency has a ripple effect that extends in all directions and is healing not just for ourselves but also for our ancestors, our descendants, and the planet as a whole.
It may feel selfish to do deep inner work when it seems like the world is on fire—but it’s actually the medicine. It’s easy to feel stuck, sad, angry, overwhelmed, constricted, and even afraid. For many of us, we’re finding we are no longer willing or able to stay stuck in that place. Old ways aren’t working anymore.
In my own journey as well as in my work with clients, I've found that integrating multiple modalities like intuitive energy healing, breathwork, guided meditation, movement, parts work, and other mind-body practices provides the safety and space to regulate our nervous systems and cultivate extraordinary growth, healing, and spiritual connection.
Together, we’ll assess what blend of services will work best for you according to your needs and level of comfort, including intuitive reiki and energy healing, somatic tools, breathwork, mantra, goal setting, coaching, movement, and parts work. It will look different for each person and even different in each session. All of my services can be offered in individual, single sessions in person or distance by phone or Zoom. My favorite is to integrate them in what I call Soul Alchemy sessions over multiple weeks or months, where we can go deeper over time and allow integration between sessions.
If you’re not sure where to start or have questions, I also offer a free 20-minute discovery call. I’m excited to be working in Black Mountain again in this beautiful space with so many gifted healers, and I look forward to connecting. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me kayaking on a local river, walking trails within view of the water, snuggling with my crazy dogs, spending time with friends and family, staring at the moon and clouds, or planning my next adventure.

Abigayle Amara Blanton
Ayurvedic Practitioner
My name is Abigayle Amara (middle name meaning eternal). I’m in my early 30s, and I have a subtle, burning desire to find depth, meaning, and connection in this life. It comes as no surprise to me that I have found Ayurveda while being guided by this desire.
I grew up in Springfield, Missouri, and left at 18 to attend cosmetology school in Dallas, Texas. Since then, I have been wandering around the U.S., enjoying music in Austin, hiking nearly 500 miles in Colorado, and now being nourished by the Appalachian mountains.
Many years into doing hair life, something tugged at my attention, whispering, “Let’s take this deeper.” Most of us would agree that a salon chair can be an oddly intimate and safe place to express and tell a third party all of your deepest, darkest secrets. So several years into creating this safe space–almost accidentally–I desired to be more intentional and dive into something with deeper roots.
Ayurveda found me. I had never heard the word, and yet, as soon as I did, it was as if the little fire within me burned brighter. I had no doubt this was the way to flow. I discovered the Ayurvedic Institute and moved to Asheville, North Carolina, to attend the two-year Ayurvedic Practitioner program. So here I am, ready, eager, and honored to share the knowledge I have learned.
I pair consultations with Ayurvedic hands-on modalities, helping individuals reconnect to the elements within and without while creating a safe space where your true nature can express. I can promise you I will do my very best to create a safe environment, leave my ego at the door, and allow life to guide us to balance.
My intention with my practice is to create an expression of new depth to being seen and connected to the true essence of life. So if this intrigued you enough and you feel a little sense of curiosity, or HELL YES, then please reach out to connect. I truly look forward to hearing from you.
ABIGAYLE'S OFFERINGS
MARMA TREATMENT (60 MIN) – $85
A gentle Ayurvedic therapy using intentional touch on vital energy points (marma points) to release emotional blockages, calm the nervous system, and restore energetic balance.
SHIRODHARA – $100
A deeply meditative treatment where a continuous stream of warm oil flows over the forehead to quiet the mind, relieve stress, and support hormonal and nervous system regulation.
INITIAL AYURVEDIC CONSULT – $125
A comprehensive one-on-one session to assess your unique constitution (dosha), imbalances, and lifestyle, with personalized recommendations for diet, routine, and lifestyle.
3-MONTH AYURVEDIC COACHING (3 sessions) – $385
An ongoing supportive container with three personalized sessions to help you implement Ayurvedic practices, deepen self-understanding, and create lasting balance in a sustainable way.
