About Val“I believe there are many paths to wellness and that all healing is self-healing. We are all one. As we heal ourselves we heal the world.” After spending years of hinging my happiness star on others, and literally watching my body age from the stress of a divorce and relationship losses, I realized and accepted the fact that my state of happiness and wellness could only come from me. I was responsible for my own well-being. It was then that I began my holistic self-care journey in earnest. As I learned and saw the benefits of the wellness techniques in myself and others, I realized first-hand that when you step into your power by releasing limiting beliefs, becoming educated, and accepting responsibility for yourself, life is richer. You feel happier, healthier, more at peace, and in control of your own life. You notice opportunities and are more likely to move forward in all areas of life. I also learned that life and wellness is a journey and an evolution. There are extreme challenges to face and joys to be savored as well as the "everydayness of life". And with all of that comes deeper levels of healing and growing work to do. A lot of "love and accept myself and my body" healing work took place over the last few years when I was faced with a major health challenge. A ruptured disk left me with fairly extensive nerve damage, pain issues and physical limitations. One day as I was lying in bed because of pain again, I realized I was riding that spiral into depression. This was the point of choice. I made the choice to forgive my body for "failing me" and the medical people for "steering me wrong". I decided to adjust and be thankful for what is, and make the best of it instead of feeling sorry for myself for what was lost. Unlike my divorce days, when I felt like I was at the mercy of my negative emotions, stress and circumstances, I now had a toolbox full of well used spiritual and energy healing techniques to help me shift my perspective and embrace my life. So yes, I can tell you that the energy techniques I share really do work. And I know how to work with them. I’m my own best living example.

On a Personal Note...I live in Northern New York near Lake Ontario with my husband and very spoiled French Bulldog, Louis. During the school year I teach reading recovery to struggling first graders. It’s a challenging and rewarding job.My passions are holistic health and healing along with conscious awakening and spirituality. When I'm not working, I spend a lot of time researching related topics that interest me and can help others. I am spiritual, but not religious. Since publishing this website in 2009, I spend a lot of time writing and publishing articles. That’s been a lot of fun- especially getting to “meet” you, my readers, and read your comments. I’ve even posted a few videos for you to enjoy and learn from. Not bad for someone who is still a techno-kindergartner! And since I’m a teacher, of course I enjoy teaching and helping you to use the healing techniques to get the results you want. And we usually have fun doing it! When the weather allows, I like ride my bike, take walks and visit with my neighbors. On chilly days (a lot around here) I like to curl up with a good book, watch TV, or enjoy a movie while sipping a cup of hot tea. Of course there’s also Twitter, Facebook, surfing the web and working on this website to keep me busy. If you are on any of these social networks look me up and send a friend request!
