Holistic Health Through Somatic Wisdom

Welcome to your healing journey

MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Hey, I'm Valerie

I'm glad you're here learning more about what I do and what I'm about!

My professional healthcare focus started in research and various integrative hospital systems, only to venture far off the mainstream model, and into the transformative process of more energetic mind-body approaches.

From the hospital to the jungles of Central and South America, my own healing journey has taken many turns, weaving a story of many ego-deaths, and rebirths along the way.

Through my own healing journey, unraveling my own triggers and traumas, I've fallen in love with the somatic language of the body and more subtle approaches to natural, holistic healing. Our bodies innate ability to heal is truly amazing, calling for a more nurturing and holistic approach to move towards greater health and wellbeing.

What I've been up to all these years:

Doctorate Degree in Acupuncture & TCM (graduation Dec 2025)

Executive Masters Degree in Business Administration (EMBA)

Masters Degree in Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine (M.OM)

NCCAOM Board Certified and Licenced Acupuncturist (L.AC)

Certified Professional Life Coach (PCC)

Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC)

Certified Sound Therapist

Certified Somatic Breathwork Facilitator

Disaster Relief Volunteer with Acupuncture Without Borders

For years, I navigated the challenges of stress, anxiety, cPTSD, and a spinal injury, which sparked a decade long personal journey to reclaim my well-being from the inside out. Along this path, I discovered the profound healing potential of acupuncture, a practice that not only transformed my life but inspired me to help others restore balance to their minds and bodies.

As my passion for natural healing deepened, I integrated sound therapy and somatic breathwork into my practice. These complementary modalities have proven invaluable in helping individuals recalibrate their nervous systems and find relief from the effects of prolonged stress.

My professional journey spans diverse experiences, from hospital settings to community outreach programs, enriching my understanding of the intricate mind-body connection. I’ve seen firsthand how the body retains and responds to pain, stress, and trauma, and this insight shapes the care I provide.

With a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, an Executive MBA, and certifications in life coaching, somatic breathwork and sound therapy, I am dedicated to a holistic and integrative approach to healing. My ongoing education focuses on chronic inflammation, pain management, and cPTSD, enabling me to offer personalized, evidence-based support tailored to each individual’s unique needs.

My areas of focus include:

  • Using sound therapy and frequency to realign the body and release stuck energy

  • Exploring the mind-body and soma-psyche connection

  • Investigating ancestral healing and the impact of generational trauma on the human genome

  • Harnessing the transformative power of meditation

  • Attuning to the subconscious language, emotions, and traumas stored in the body

My ongoing education focuses on incorporating supportive somatic practices that deepen the healing process, in particular for cPTSD and stuck patterns in the body. With continuing education in areas of transformational coaching and mind-body somatic practices, I am truly passionate about the work I do! I love bridging evidence-based approaches with deeper energetic practices.
