What is Core Wound Healing?


Core Wound Healing is the process of remembering who you were before the world told you who to be. It reveals and releases the unconscious patterns inherited from family and culture that shape how you love, lead, and live.

By meeting these patterns with awareness and compassion, you reconnect with your authentic nature, and are freed to create, choose, and relate from truth rather than conditioning.

Val and Ariel did an excellent job at creating a safe space and guiding us towards finding freedom from our stories.

What this work can support over time

Each person’s experience is unique. Participants often describe shifts such as:

  • Greater clarity about formative wounds, protective strategies, and unconscious patterns

  • The capacity to honor what came before without being bound by it

  • Reframing wounds as sources of wisdom rather than deficits to be fixed

The content shared was extremely practical and applicable to daily life.
