"[Valerie] possesses that wonderful combination of skill, instinct and talent that a care provider needs to have to be excellent."

—Kirsten Pickard, RN-C, BSN

My goal in sharing my work is to help my clients find balance and ease in their bodies. I have helped many people heal from traumatic events or to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I trust the body's wisdom to guide me in the process. I love to work with people of all ages.

My experience includes my private practice as well as twelve years at Jefferson Healthcare's Family Birth Center, in Port Townsend, Washington.

I attended massage school in 1986 and have continued my education through extensive training. I have completed Craniosacral Therapy courses at the Upledger Institute, Visceral and Structural Energy Work through the Zero Balancing Association, Visual Craniosacral Work with the Milne Institute, and Infant Craniosacral Therapy with Carol Gray. I am also a Master in Reiki and a Doula.
