TIME TO TAKE A BREATH

“Valerie has the rare gift of making you feel completely at ease while she is astutely pulling together a comprehensive and thorough picture of what is going on with you holistically. Through questions, discussion, on the spot activities, and exploring you begin to see patterns, themes and metaphors that shift into a personal clarity so that you are able to address what's at play. When you arrive there together, Valerie helps to tease out suggestions and strategies for moving forward day to day. It's a true collaboration. It was incredibly helpful, revealing, empowering and fun! My recommendation? Go for it!”

“You somehow made it easier for me to be uncomfortable and trust that everything would be ok, it may just take awhile & be messier than I’d like, but it would be ok. You are such a great listener and helping tease out what matters, I value the ‘get to the bottom of what we know’ attitude that you always have…There is this kind way of reminding everyone that it is ok to feel whatever is present that you have, even when it is uncomfortable…You have helped me immensely in gaining a sense of confidence and ownership in all the wisdom I have & the hurdles I have had to overcome.”

“THANK YOU SO MUCH.  On so many levels big and small.  The work that you have guided me through this year has been transformative and so deeply impactful.  There were many weeks when I felt like I was in hip deep mud.  I wasn’t sure if it was healing mud or pulling me under like quick sand.  There were weeks when I simply didn’t want to do the work or I was resistant and bristly.

We worked through behaviors big and small and for that I am truly grateful. “

“I like to have a treatment every other week, increasing the frequency if I have any pressing problems that need adjustment. Since I've been seeing Valerie I've seen big improvements in my sleep, energy and digestion. I seem to beat myself up pretty regularly, but no matter what sort of ache or pain I've brought in Valerie has been able to turn it around.”

“Acupuncture is the only reason how I was physically able to operate my cafe. Valerie is the other reason why I will come back to Boston biannually. If I could take her with me to LA, I would. Her skills as an acupuncturist are incomparable. She’s in a league of her own. “

“Valerie is an incredible acupuncturist with 20+ years of clinical experience. She helped me many times with neck and shoulder pain as well as with some sleep issues I was having. I can't recommend her enough!”

“Can't say enough about Valerie as she is amazing at her line of work. Have anxiety and depression as well as carpal tunnel have been well treated by Valerie. She is a fantastic acupuncturist.”

“I highly recommend Valerie to anyone seeing a compassionate and experienced acupuncturist.”

"Valerie...is so personable and one is at ease in the learning process. One has the sense that she has positive unconditional regard for her students, peers and people in general."
