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 think 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.

February 4.
There’s a subtle shift happening this February.
An ending—not of who you are, but of what no longer needs to be carried forward.
And a beginning—not loud or certain, but true.

The cards today were Love and Shadow.
A reminder that wholeness doesn’t come from fixing or transcending,
but from allowing.

If parts of you are surfacing that feel tender, uncertain, or unfinished—
they aren’t in the way.
They’re asking to be included as you step into what’s next.

This feels like the closing of a long cycle
and the quiet start of another—
one rooted less in effort,
and more in presence.

February invites us to begin gently.

February begins quietly.

Peace doesn’t come because everything gets easier.
It comes when we realize we can stay.

Caution reminds us to move gently now — to protect what has settled rather than rushing ahead.

In some places, people are walking for peace.
In others, peace is kept quietly — through steadiness, presence, and care.

As we settle into the energy of February, sometimes peace is simply knowing: this is manageable.

Last day of January.
Some guidance comes from the higher realms.
Some comes with four paws and a warm body.

Today, Rey and Metatron agree:
Navigate.
Slowly. Trustingly. Without forcing. 🤍

January 30.
Some nights don’t offer much sleep,
but they offer information.

Vivid dreams, sudden emotion, flashes of aliveness—
these aren’t signs that something is wrong.
They’re signs that energy is reorganizing.

When life force begins to move again,
hidden patterns rise to the surface—not to overwhelm,
but to be seen and integrated.

This is strength.
Not forcing. Not fixing.
Just making room.

If your nights feel active lately,
let that be enough for today.
Small acts of steadiness and kindness matter.

THE UNKNOWN + GRACE

Many are feeling it right now —
a quiet uncertainty, a sense that something is shifting without clear answers.

When the larger picture feels unsettled, the instinct is to reach for certainty or conclusions.
These cards offer a steadier response.

The Unknown reminds us that clarity doesn’t always come first.
Grace invites us to remain present, grounded, and humane anyway.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to move with care.

Small acts of steadiness and kindness matter.

Sometimes February isn’t about clarity or answers.
It’s about making room for what wants to arrive next.

If you’re feeling between, unfinished, or quietly becoming—
this message is for you.

January 22.
Playful.
Curiosity.

What if today I don’t fix myself—
I just stay interested?
Not “figure it out.”
Not “be higher vibe.”
Just… soften the grip. Less judgment.
More interest.
A little room to breathe.

Rest.

Not because you’re tired,
but because something is reorganizing.

If it feels strange, that’s okay.

The new year doesn’t ask for urgency.
The new moon asks for space.

Change is forming
without striving.

Trust the pause.

This is what came through when my higher self pulled the cards this morning.
