OWL WISE - Holistic Life Coaching & Integrative Wellness - Martinez, California

Velina at Owl Wise Wellness is nothing short of amazing. I started working with her in the spring of 2023 after spending two years with a traditional talk therapist. While therapy was helpful, Velina brought an entirely new level of care and effectiveness to my healing journey.

Her approach is warm, genuine, and selfless—she truly sees and supports you as a whole person. She introduced me to a variety of healing modalities that were not only effective but also opened up new pathways for growth and understanding. Beyond that, Velina connected me with a network of incredible healers and resources, giving me the opportunity to deepen my support system in ways I never thought possible.

There were times when I felt like Velina quite literally saved my life. Her guidance, compassion, and insight have been a lifeline, and her support has profoundly shaped my journey. Words can’t capture how much she has helped me, but I can confidently say she is one of the most impactful practitioners I’ve ever worked with. If you’re seeking holistic wellness and coaching from someone who truly cares and has the tools to help you transform, Velina is the one to see. Highly, highly recommend!

I found Velina in a time in my life where I was faced with immense grief and loss. I had an instant connection with Velina as if we had been old friends for years and it brought me a sense of trust and comfort. Velina was a huge part of me learning how to cope with my new chapter in life. She is truly one of the kindest and purest souls I have come across and she helped me in many ways beyond what she offered as a life couch even when she didn’t have to. I’m so happy to have found her and I cannot wait for many sessions to come. She has become my outlet where I find peace among the chaos and for that I am blessed.

Velina is a rock star! She has a lot of different skills and talents and she sees you as a unique individual vs just another client, trying a one size fits all approach. She understands that we are all multifaceted and that this work requires a multifaceted approach. No two sessions are alike. I feel heard, supported and respected. Thank you for being you, Velina! I look forward to more of our sessions! 🙂

Velina is a gentle, deeply caring provider that made me feel accepted and safe. Her space is nice, clean and quiet. The table work we did was very helpful. I can feel the increase in productivity since having completed our sessions. Velina provided me with countless resources for the many items I brought to our sessions and met me with eagerness to help me along my way. The assistant dog Betta was also a huge bonus. He too is a healer. Thank you for your strong and good intentions Velina! You are a beautiful, fiery light in this world.

I was referred to Velina by a good friend. I wish I could give her 6 stars! Her kindness and professional demeanor made me feel comfortable immediately. Velina's vast experience and knowledge were extremely helpful in aiding me to solve not just one, but several issues. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, I would refer Velina to anyone looking for a strong yet caring coach.

We had a great time at our Couples Massage Class! We learned a lot about how to give a good massage and we both felt so relaxed after. Velina teaches by doing, so we were following along with her to mirror her movements. Nothing like having two people massage you at the same time! I recommend it for a fun, relaxing, connecting date night.

Velina is seriously the best! She is incredibly knowledgeable and truly gifted in what she does. She gave me the insight and tools to completely change the way I identify and deal with the stress and anxiety in my life. I am very grateful to have met her and look forward to every visit!

Velina is very insightful and her knowledge and experience is helping me to see and understand the kinds of trauma I have encountered in my life and how those past experiences still affect my thoughts, emotions and behaviors.
She is helping me to better understand myself, to become more aware of my repressed emotions and to recognize when I am reacting unconsciously to situations and people around me.
She is a refreshing light, showing me how I can see myself more clearly and how to become more present, authentic and empathetic in difficult situations.
Thank you so much Velina!!!
