Yoga

‘Valerie’s classes are always interesting and fresh, because every time she either focuses on a different body part or offers a new approach. I find her way of guiding us through poses both calming and attentive, since besides caring for the whole class she also makes space for individual adjustments. Valérie takes into account how we are on the day and takes time after class to address individual queries or issues. She has a calm and gentle way that makes me feel safe and good. The space made for emotions to also be addressed alongside the physical aspect of the practice is very supportive of my personal development, and after a stressful day her class helps me find my way back to myself. I can only truly recomment her classes” – Judith

“I thoroughly enjoy taking Valérie’s yoga classes and look forward to it every week. For those who haven’t experienced yoga, you must go; your body and soul will thank you! Valérie takes you miles away to a calm, relaxing, uncluttered head-space and with the ability to walk downstairs to achieve this before work one evening a week, it is a luxury to take advantage of.” – Nick

“I have been valeried. That means relaxed, soothed, my body has moved with mindfulness, gentle and deep awareness, and I am ready to go to bed to start the week afresh.” – Andrew

“Val’s  tremendously  developed  intuition  enabled  her  to  create  tailor  made  Yoga  sessions  for  me,  which  changed  my  life.  As  a  result  of  the  way  she  prepared  me  I  recovered  my  strength,  both  physical  and  emotionally.  Without  ever  putting  any  pressure  on  me  –  merely  by  being  herself  –  she  taught  me  valuable  lessons  about  acceptance,  presence,  patience  and  love.    She  also  insisted  and  succeeded  on  teaching  me  to  self  heal,  a  most  delicious  and  invaluable  tool. ”  Marta

What people say about my massage work

“When I first came to Val I was in dreadfully poor physical and emotional shape. The very first treatment she gave me was soothing beyond my expectations on both realms of my pain. By the time she was done with me I was in physical bliss. For the first time since I could remember I felt no pain. I remember the heavenly feeling like it was today. A breather from chronic pain is something one doesn’t forget easily. ” Marta

“Just to say thank you for all your help and support this year. I’m immensely grateful. And much of what happened in those sessions had a big impact on my understanding of my body and what was stored deep in me.” Amber

“Oh my goodness… Firstly, thank you again. I’ve never experienced anything like that massage yesterday. After I left, I was very aware that my neck felt very ‘long’ and my shoulders felt like they dropped about 5 inches! I slept very serenely. Also, I’ve been working with the exercises. I became acutely aware today, as I started to practice them, that I felt quite emotional and of the release they brought about! I’m sure this isn’t a surprise for you, but it was to me!  I’ll keep at it… ” – Rachel Martino

“I have had numerous deep tissue massages with Valerie. Her firm pressure combined with her knowledgeable and intuitive approach, have greatly assisted in easing tension in my shoulders and back , loosening up my knees and hips, increasing my overall flexibility/well-being. Her knowledge of yoga has also being useful. I look forward to every appointment, and I would recommend Valerie’s treatments to anyone. ” – Chris

“Valerie’s warmth and friendly nature instantly made me feel at ease and in safe hands – literally! She communicates with genuine care and her knowledge and passion for her work is clear. I came with neck pain that was bothering me and the massage worked into all the nooks and crannies that were tight and sore. Valerie weaves her way into the release, encouraging you to let go as she works her magic. I felt peaceful and lighter afterwards, and a real sense of relief from the neck pain. I am already looking forward to another massage to help with the rest of my aches and pains!” – Nathalie

“Valerie is an AMAZING Massage Therapist! her knowledge of human physiology, energetic anatomy and her skill set is second to none! if I want to have a truly stress busting, energizing & refreshing session whilst lying down doing nothing, I go to Valerie! I’d highly recommend her services.” – Sean

“I found valerie to be highly supportive, she was immensely in tune with what I required, giving space and direction in order for me to push myself to achieve the healing I required. Her ability to pinpoint which areas needed working on meant I could continue the work she started after the treatments. I would recommend her to anyone.” – Samm

“I visited Valerie once and to be honest I can’t wait to go back. I don’t normally relax therefore it is quite difficult to give me a good massage but Valerie was wonderful. Not only using the right techniques but feeling how I receive it so knowing exactly what she needs to do in which moment and when to change. I highly recommend Valerie work from my heart.” – Barbara

“My session with Valerie was an absolute treat.  Her touch varied from that of a sculptor moulding clay to the light blessing of a mother’s caress, adjusting to the needs of different areas of my body as she went along.  She was undeterred when my foot cramped up for no reason and was able to tune in and set it straight again – a rare skill.  I left the session feeling relaxed and more connected to my body.” – Justine Lutterodt, Life coach
