Meet Kendra Valentine...Spiritual Badass

My Story - My Journey - My Gifts - My Bliss


 

Let  me start by saying that I was born with a depth of ability that I have  not always understood but I had a strong lead and teacher in the form of  my Grandmother, Petra Valentine.  Thank Goddess for that!


My  life has not always been living in my purpose.  In fact, at various  points in my life, it was more like living in a dumpster fire.  A fire I  set, a fire I tended to and a fire that was extremely uncomfortable and  not at all in alignment with my highest self or my purpose.  Married  and divorced three times.  A (now proud) card carrying member on the  road of recovery I walk.  A survivor of sexual trauma as a child and  professional re-traumatizer of that wounded inner child as a result of  my coping mechanisms.  I collected "things" and "experiences" as a way  to numb out all the shit that was going bump in the night for me.  Those  things became so loud, I finally had no more *viable* or healthy  options to continue that behavior.  I needed to get to healing or get to  dying...pretty much that simple (and that complex simultaneously). 


Now,  healing is not linear - at least I have never experienced healing in  that way.  I started *doing* yoga somewhere around 1995.  In 2000 (ish),  I went to school to become a Licensed Massage Therapist in WA State.   That was the first time I remember being - what I refer to as - gutted  open.   See, our muscles hold memories - good and ugly.  Once you start  moving those...whelp - let's just say stuff comes up.  In 2012, I  embarked on my journey to learn how to *teach* yoga as opposed to just  practicing it.  Yup - another gutting.  I cried pretty much every day of  that month long immersion.  See our energy bodies also carry memories  and stories and narratives and a whole host of things of which we may  not be consciously aware.  I was moving my physical body and also  shaking up my energy body a little also.  I came out the other side of  that and tried to step back into my "old" life and took another  corporate job.  When I was let go from that position (I mentioned  dumpster fires, yeah?!?), I dove into my (then) purpose and opened a  yoga studio.  I was living my best life.  Flash forward to 2016 ish - I  am running my studio, I am engaged in my healing, I am walking my path -  AND - I am feeling an increasing level of discomfort and discontent.  I  am setting dumpster fires left and right and I am baffled by myself and  my actions.  I mean, WTF?!?!  I am a healer, I am a business owner, I  am "in it" and I am - - - confused.  


In  walks Grandmother medicine - Grandmother Ayahuasca.  I had never even  HEARD of that medicine prior to then and I certainly did not know the  powerful healing that she could help facilitate.  I sat in my first  ceremony and what I had previously thought of as being "gutted open" was  fully and wholly redefined.  Without going into the whole shenanigans  of it all, I will say that I walked out of that ceremony with a knowing  that I cannot un-know.  I was super happy that I had all of my past  experiences so that I could navigate the post-ceremony work that I have  done as a way to BEcome the person I am today.  Not to say that I  haven't lit any dumpster fires since then...I mean, I am human after  all.


Now,  I find myself happier, more grounded, able to navigate the shit that  life throws at me in a more peaceful way, and more "in charge" of myself  and my life.  Being in charge means ownership of where I am on my path  and knowing I can change that as I desire.  I am thriving and more  comfortable in my skin than I have - well - ever been and I am so  excited for all the many adventures yet to come to me in this life!  


So,  after trying to figure out how to marry all of these seemingly  different parts of myself into something that is a benefit to those who  wish to work with me while working on themselves, I have settled on my  coaching and shamanic work offerings.  I am a big fan of the mantra  "make your mess your message" and as someone who knows how to make a  helluva mess, I am also a fantastic lead in finding your own medicine  inside of you to help clean up and love up those parts of you that made  those messes in the first place.  


There  are SO many more blanks to fill in - - - there always are.  I am sure  there are blanks that I am not currently consciously aware of that will  be danced with when the time comes.  What I can say is that I will dance  with those with as much grace as I have, with love, with compassion and  with a knowing that all of my answers reside inside of me.  


My passion is to help you find yours!  Let's dance!
