Meet Valentine

Valentine (aka Stephanie) Giambattista is a Canadian-raised soul whose journey has always been guided by magic, healing, and high vibes. With a heart open to the wonders of the universe, she was nurtured in a world of mermaids, unicorns, and the timeless energy of the Spice Girls. From the very start, Valentine’s path has been woven with cosmic threads, leading her to discover the transformative power of Yoga, Reiki, Astrology, and all things mystical + artistic.

In 2013, she founded Yogi Moviestar, a personal brand where ancient wisdom meets modern magic. Through unique magical Workshops, Reiki courses, Sound healing, Astrology readings, and global events, both online and in-person. Valentine helps others reconnect with their own inner Magic and unlock their true authentic Self.

Her adventure began in 2011 when she first dipped her toes into the world of acting, studying Film, Television, and Theatre at Humber College in Toronto. During her preparation for roles, she began practicing yoga and breathwork to center herself. It wasn’t long before she became captivated by the high-vibe feeling that these practices brought, an energy she now shares with the world.

In 2013, Valentine began her formal Yoga Teacher Training at George Brown College, embarking on a journey that would lead her to merge yoga, Reiki, astrology, and the mystical arts into a seamless practice of healing. Her teachings are a unique blend of traditional wisdom and otherworldly energy, designed to help others elevate their vibrations and align with their highest selves.

The magic deepened when Valentine completed an 80-hour Restorative Teacher Training at Yoga Space in Toronto (2014), followed by mentorships and certifications in Yin Yoga and Hot Yoga at Yyoga, one of Canada’s most renowned yoga studios. It was here that she began Energy Exchange and then quickly began teaching full-time.

In 2016, the universe called her across the ocean to Edinburgh, Scotland, where she spent almost 2 years teaching full-time at Tribe Yoga. She also completed certifications in Kids & Teens Yoga in Glasgow and Yoga Nidra Foundations Course in London. Valentine also co-founded Rock a Barre Pop Up Studio in Edinburgh (2017)

In 2018, Valentine’s journey took a surprising turn when she found herself moving to Zurich, Switzerland for love. It is here that she taught sold-out Magical Workshops, Reiki Courses, and Restorative Yoga Teacher Trainings. She also launched The Golden Vibe Podcast in January 2021. Through the podcast, Valentine shares her passion for astrology, healing, and keeping your vibe high, always with a touch of humour and enchantment.

Her toolkit continued to expand during 2020-2022 with certifications in EFT Therapy Levels 1, 2 + 3 (2021) and becoming a fully Certified Gene Keys Guide (2022), as well as completing a Gong Sound Healing Training. Valentine facilitates transformative Gong Sound Healing classes with her beloved Jupiter Gong, “Lady Jupiter”.

In 2023, Valentine returned to her Canadian roots, settling in the Blue Mountains of Ontario. She began offering Restorative Yoga with Reiki Healing, Reiki Courses and magical workshops at studios like Everlove, Cedar + Sage, Schoolhouse Collingwood, Lab studio and Iwa Spa.

From 2024, she worked as Head Wellness Facilitator (She was known as the C.V.O- Chief Vibes Officer) at Vildhus Blue Mountains, a magical wellness retreat center in the heart of nature, where she guided souls through transformative experiences, was in charge of hiring and created Studio Scheduling.

Mid 2024, Valentine returned to Toronto, where she now teaches her ever-popular The Magic Hour class at Chi Junky Studio as well as Soundbaths and Yoga Classes. She also guides Sound + Restore classes at Sweat + Tonic, infusing each session with Magical healing vibes. 

Valentine is preparing to launch her new podcast, The Crazy Ginger Podcast, in 2025. This podcast will dive deep into her personal journey, explore living authentically, and share soul-stirring conversations with friends.

Currently she is hosting monthly Magical Workshops in Toronto and offering many Sound Healing, Astrology and Oracle Card Reading Parties + Events!

Wherever she is, Valentine is always vibing high, pulling oracle cards, talking astrology, and laughing as much as possible. 

Her guiding mantra is:

“The most spiritual thing you can do is be your most authentic self and live life! "

Universe, show me how good it gets…
