Hi! I'm Val, a Licensed Massage Therapist and trauma-informed Yoga teacher with nearly a decade of experience as a body worker.  I found Yoga and massage around the same time, over 20 years ago. I've continually benefitted from both practices, ranging from injury recovery to stress management to increased overall wellbeing, and I'm grateful to be able to share those same benefits with others. The longer I'm in practice, the more I'm in awe of the body’s innate ability to repair and recover, and the way our nervous systems are involved in what and how we feel. I'm passionate about how the body works and repairs as a whole, and approach each treatment with the full body in mind, blending modalities to achieve personalized, lasting ease and relief.

She listened in a non-judgmental way. She was open, honest and has a very warm and kind manner and personality.

Wonderful massage by Valerie! She is a highly skilled and warm person who works according to one's comfort level. For me, manipulating trigger points worked well to release stress and tension. Was walking on clouds for 2 days after her massage!

She always listens to my needs for each massage and perfectly focuses on them.

Val took the time to ask questions and be sure she treated the areas that needed the most attention. I appreciate that she confirmed what I wanted and needed. It was a truly excellent massage and I can't wait to go back.
