Valentina Cortini-Nutt

Valentina’s teaching style is warm, direct and deeply human.

She often begins with the everyday experiences people recognise in themselves: emotional overwhelm, stress, grief, fear, exhaustion, old wounds, family conditioning, self-protection and the feeling of being disconnected from oneself. From there, she helps people understand how energy, emotion, body responses and old patterns influence the way they live, relate and react.

Her teaching is grounded and practical. She does not present healing as something abstract or unreachable. Instead, she helps people recognise what is happening within them and gives them language, awareness and tools to begin working with it.

Her approach encourages self-responsibility without shame. Students and clients are invited to observe themselves honestly, understand their patterns with compassion and begin making different choices from a place of greater awareness.

Valentina also brings joy, laughter and lightness into her classes and individual sessions. She believes that healing does not always have to feel heavy and that moments of humour, warmth and genuine human connection can help people feel safer, softer and more open to change. For her, joy is not separate from healing. It is part of the energy that helps people reconnect with life.

Valentina’s healing work first found expression through Wings & Me Holistic Centre, a space dedicated to emotional healing, self-awareness and personal transformation. Through this work, and through her own continued inner development, her path naturally expanded toward Pranic Energy Healing Africa.

PEH Africa became the wider expression of that growth: a non-profit educational and service platform created to make energy awareness, meditation, healing and spiritual education more accessible to people across Africa.

Valentina is the creator of Somatic Neuroplasticity Therapy, a healing approach that works with emotional patterns, nervous-system responses, body awareness and personal transformation. Through Wings & Me, this work supports people who want to understand the connection between their emotional history, protective patterns and the way they experience themselves and their relationships.

She is also a published author. Her writing forms part of her wider commitment to making healing, self-awareness and emotional transformation easier to understand and apply in daily life.

Through PEH Africa, Valentina helps shape the organisation’s mission, public education, outreach direction, donor-facing vision and long-term development. Her commitment is to help PEH Africa grow into a movement where healing, meditation and spiritual education can reach families, students, practitioners and communities across the continent.

Valentina’s wider background includes energy healing, emotional healing, somatic awareness, writing, education, community vision and organisational development.

Her work is especially concerned with the relationship between energy, emotion, the body and the inner stories people carry. She helps people understand how old experiences can shape reactions, stress responses, protective patterns and the way they relate to themselves and others.

Through Wings & Me, Valentina’s work focuses more specifically on emotional transformation, Somatic Neuroplasticity Therapy and individual healing sessions. This complements her role within PEH Africa, where her focus is on education, spiritual learning, community service and the long-term vision for Africa.

Alongside her healing, teaching and writing work, Valentina brings experience from entrepreneurship, property, hospitality, design, community building and organisational leadership. This background supports her ability to hold both the human and practical sides of PEH Africa: the vision, the structure, the non-profit mission and the strategy for future growth.
