Our Practitioners

Valentina Cortini-Nutt is the founder of Wings & Me and a dedicated holistic wellbeing practitioner, educator and author. Her work is grounded in the belief that meaningful personal change begins when we learn to understand ourselves more deeply—our thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, energy and recurring patterns.

With extensive experience in Pranic Energy Healing, Valentina supports people through gentle, non-invasive energy practices designed to encourage greater balance, awareness and connection with themselves. As an instructor, she also helps students develop practical energy-awareness skills that they can use as part of their own wellbeing and personal-development journey.

Valentina is the creator of Somatic Neuroplasticity, a guided approach that brings together body awareness, reflection and experiential exercises. Through this work, she helps people notice the patterns and beliefs influencing their lives, reconnect with their inner resources and explore new ways of responding to everyday challenges.

Her understanding of holistic wellbeing has been enriched by studies in neuroplasticity, counselling concepts, dream analysis and crystal healing. Rather than viewing the mind, body and inner life as separate, Valentina brings these areas together in a warm, practical and deeply personal way.

Clients and students are welcomed into a supportive environment where they can explore their experiences without judgement or pressure. Valentina’s role is not to tell people who they should become, but to help them recognise their own strengths, deepen their self-awareness and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

She is also the author of several personal-development books, including Power Up!, The Quiet Mind, The Ultimate Grounding Guide, The Karma Cure and Soul Awakening. Across her sessions, courses and writing, her intention remains the same: to make holistic wellbeing and personal growth feel understandable, approachable and relevant to everyday life.

When she is not teaching, writing or working with clients, Valentina enjoys walking in nature, cooking for her family and developing projects that support learning, service and unity across Africa.
