Meet Valarie Budayr
Sound Healer, Breathwork Facilitator, Human Design Specialist, Community Maker
Valarie Budayr is a musician, sound therapist, contemplative arts educator, and founder of Mongata. She holds an MA in Piano Pedagogy from the Mozarteum University Salzburg and is a board-certified sound practitioner and trauma-informed breathwork facilitator. She also studied therapeutic musicianship with Don Campbell.
Drawing from decades of musical study, therapeutic musicianship, mindfulness practice, and sacred sound traditions, Valarie creates restorative sonic experiences that cultivate deep listening, presence, resilience, and inner transformation. Her work integrates sound, breath, movement, Human Design, and contemplative wisdom practices.
As an oral song and tradition keeper connected to the cultures of Gotland, Sweden, and North Karelia, Finland, Valarie weaves ancestral wisdom, nature-based practices, and improvisational music into both her teaching and creative work.
Through online programs, retreats, private sessions, and immersive sound experiences, she guides others toward a more resonant, creative, and embodied way of living.
