Valorie has a special affection for the elderly, helping patients cope with cancer, pain, trauma, and the importance self-care.

In the early 1990’s as her life and career developed she began to search for deeper meaning and purpose in life because she felt like “something was missing.” After experiencing Reiki I/II and other integrative approaches to health she was introduced to Healing Touch in 2002. In her first class she felt like she had finally “come home” and knew one day she would teach this work. In 2007 she received her Certification as a Healing Touch Practitioner, and had a private practice in the Village of the Arts in Bradenton, Florida where she and her husband owned The Village Bookshop and The Healing Cottage, 2005-2010. In 2012 she received her Certification as a Healing Touch Instructor for Course 1. She currently teaches classes in Sarasota, Fort Lauderdale, and James Haley VA hospital in Tampa, and has a Healing Touch practice in her home.

Valorie is passionate about HT and teaches with wisdom, compassion and an open heart. She believes that we all have a divine light that is within us and Healing Touch is one way that allows the individual the ability to ignite that light to its fullest potential so we may have greater meaning and purpose in life. As a Healing Touch instructor it is her desire that each student grow to their fullest potential and “BE the light they are meant to be in the world.”
