  • Valerie Haase

    FOUNDER | SOUND HEALING | BREATHWORK | SOMATICS

    Hi, I’m Valerie, I am a certified sound healing therapist and trauma-informed breathwork facilitator with a deep love for cacao.

    In January 2020, I embarked on a healing journey to the Himalayas, where I connected with the ancient sounds of Tibetan singing bowls. Since then, I’ve been on a quest to explore surrender and transformation through vibrational medicine.

    Through my journey, I’ve come to appreciate the profound impact of nervous system regulation.
    Reclaiming our own sovereignty and inner power is at the heart of my work, helping others find grounding, resilience, and true connection within themselves.

    The breath and voice are powerful tools available to us all, guiding us toward transformation and growth.

    Santulana retreats are more than getaways—they’re adventures designed to uplift, expand, and elevate your frequency.
    Together, we reconnect with the wisdom of ancient techniques, harmonizing body and spirit for the greater good.

  • Matthäa Mollenauer

    YOGA | MEDITATION TEACHER

    My name is Matthäa, I am a Yoga and Meditation teacher based in Berlin. Yoga has been close to my heart since my mother introduced me to it years ago.

    After completing my first 200-hour teacher training in Hatha and Vinyasa Flow, I felt my self-practice reach new depths, and I discovered the joy and calm that teaching brings. Since then, I’ve pursued numerous trainings, immersing myself fully in sharing these holistic practices that are a vital part of my life.

    In my Vinyasa classes, I focus on intuitive movement and the body-mind connection, combining āsana with prānāyāma and guided meditation.

    My approach prioritizes safe alignment and respect for the body’s limits, while still incorporating challenging sequences to help students feel the strength within themselves.

    My deepest passion is Yin Yoga, where I create a safe space for surrender and softness.

    Through Yin, I aim to foster the flow of Chi and work in tune with the Meridians, incorporating Acupressure techniques rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine to enhance the experience and nurture holistic well-being.

  • Rouane Wakim

    COUNSELOR | BIOFEEDBACK & SOUND HEALING THERAPIST

    My name is Rouane. Born in Beirut, raised in Geneva, and now settled along Mexico’s Pacific coast, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing diverse cultures that continue to shape my work and life.

    After a fulfilling career in finance, I felt drawn to a new path, ultimately earning a master’s degree in Counseling.

    This transition marked the start of a journey that led me to explore a range of healing modalities, including neuroscience training, sophrology, and sound therapy.

    Each of these approaches deepened my understanding of the mind and body, equipping me with versatile tools for supporting personal growth.

    With a foundation in intuition and empathy, I’m dedicated to finding the approach that best fits each individual’s unique journey.

    My work is about helping others discover the pathways that lead to healing and self-discovery.
