Valerie is a certified hypnotherapist, Akashic Records reader and Intuitive healer/Artist. She has been practicing Reiki and other healing modalities for 20 years, and has been working within the Akashic Records for the last 5 years. "Akasha" is a Sanskrit word meaning "primary substance, that out of which all things are formed." The Records contain the record of your soul's existence; you can thi

nk of it like a library where all of the books are about you. Work done in the Records offers powerful soul level healing, and enables us to have a more conscious relationship with our own soul. Valerie is a pioneer in working with past life regression hypnosis within the Akashic Records; extending the scope and depth of healing at the soul level not just the ego level. Hypnosis within the Akashic Records can potentially help heal lifetime patterns. She can also hypnotize groups, work with couples, and help you work through any kind of stress in your life. Valerie paints Intuitive Soul Portraits: They are her interpretation of the energy of your soul. All are abstract, acrylic on canvas, original, healing and unique to each individual. Her artwork is not limited to people; she has the ability to paint energy of places, buildings, animals and anything else that you can imagine. “I offer the unique “side benefit” of being able to paint your Soul. As I open your Akashic records and tune into your energy field in order to help you to heal, I am able to “see” the energy of your soul. I am a painter, and offer this personal and unique visual reminder of the beauty of your inner self as a keepsake and as a tool to help you to delve more deeply into your own soul.”
Valerie speaks to audiences about promoting personal health, wellness, alternative healing methods and expanding consciousness. She enjoys writing about energy healing and how it helps us to help ourselves, and has had articles published in local and national magazines. Valerie is a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, the Association for Research and Enlightenment, and currently sees clients in Charlottesville, VA and by phone. She travels to Northern VA and the Tidewater area regularly to see clients as well.

Notice the stories your mind is rehearsing. Some are inherited from fear. Some are invitations from love. You get to decide which ones become the atmosphere you live inside.

June 8.
The landscape is changing.

Not everything that feels unfamiliar is wrong.
Not everything that disappears is lost.

Sometimes life asks only this:

Can you remain yourself while the landscape changes?

Today’s cards: Intuition + Comfort.

Trust what you know.
Let yourself be held by what you do not yet understand.

You are already here.

You do not need to spend the rest of your life preparing for difficulty. You are allowed to prepare for joy.
I have been working on some things lately, and sometimes I need a reminder that it's OK to take a break. Maybe you do too. ❤️

The catalysts appearing now are not random.

Humanity is activating humanity.

Through presence.
Through love.
Through nervous systems meeting differently than they once did.

Every moment of awareness changes the field.

Not through force.

Through relationship.

May 17
Last night, somewhere between waking and dreaming, I imagined luminous gossamer threads extending from my own divine essence to the people I love… my children, grandchildren, family… and then farther outward, until the entire earth was softly connected in a living web of light.

This morning these cards appeared.

Karma.Strength.

Not punishment.Not fate.

Connection.

The understanding that what moves through one of us touches all of us.

And strength not as force, but as the courage to remain open-hearted inside a world that often teaches separation.

Maybe healing isn’t becoming untouchable.

Maybe it’s remembering we were never separate to begin with.

May 12.
Things feel… different lately.
Not necessarily bad.
Not necessarily clear.
Just different.

More vivid dreams.
More sensitivity.
More emotional static.
More moments of wanting to retreat from noise, urgency, performance.

A lot of nervous systems are trying to recalibrate at once.

If you’ve been feeling oddly tender, restless, emotional, foggy, overstimulated, or deeply reflective lately…
you are not alone.

This may not be the season for forcing answers.

Maybe it’s the season for:
more water
more sleep
more honesty
less noise
less doom-scrolling
less self-pressure
less pretending you’re fine when you’re tired

Sometimes the shift happens quietly first.

Under the surface.
In the body.
In the dreams.
In what you no longer have the energy to carry.

You do not need to rush your becoming.

Gentle is still powerful.

Just a sliver of blue amidst the darkness.
