Practitioners


Our practitioners in residence are Valery Mathews and Elvina Jessica who have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with our guests.
Valery is a certified breathwork and ice bath facilitator, and teacher trainer. Her life purpose is to spread the healing power of breath and help others find their way back home to themselves. She believes that self-development is a beautiful, never-ending journey and looks forward to daily integration of all the different aspects of herself, light or dark that makes her original, unique imprint in this world. Valery is ecstatic to share the breath with Sanctuary guests and assist in your transformative journey.
Edoardo Ponticelli is a world musician, multi-instrumentalist, and Handpan player who transforms sound into a healing journey. Guided by intuition, he weaves vibrations that resonate with the energy of each space, touching hearts and opening pathways of connection. With years of experience across Europe and now based in Bali, Edoardo explores sound as both an art and a medicine—creating experiences that are as immersive as they are transformative.
