Hello, beautiful soul! I’m so glad you’re here and making time to schedule a massage, energy healing session, or connecting with others through our classes and workshops.

VALO is my response to the quiet knowing that we need places where we can slow down, rest, and come home to ourselves. I chose to root my practice in my hometown of Ashburn, the community that helped raise me.

VALO is a space for reconnection through bodywork and energy healing, and also through shared experience. It’s a place to gather in meaningful ways, to learn, be supported, and to support one another. VALO exists because community care matters, and because healing is not meant to be done alone.

I am honored you are choosing VALO and allowing me to walk beside you on your holistic path.

About My Work

I am a lightworker.

That's the truest word I have for what I do. I've been deeply spiritual for as long as I can remember, and over the years that has grown into a clear sense of purpose: to help people reconnect to themselves, to a source of love greater than all of us, and to the guidance that is always available to them.

When I was a little girl, I asked my mom what the Holy Spirit was. She couldn't quite give me a definitive answer, and the question stayed with me for years. Then, during my Reiki attunements, something clicked. Reiki means universal life force; the energy that moves through, around, and within all of us and all of creation. I realized: this is the Holy Spirit or what I believe to be the essence of our Creator. Everything that exists in our universe is vibrational, and this is the vibration of love and life itself. That understanding is the foundation of everything I do.

So every session begins the same quiet way. I welcome in the life force energy to become a channel of divine light and the frequency of love. My intention is to bring the highest, purest light into the space so it can move through me and you. I've come to understand that I'm not the one doing the healing. My work is to create the conditions for it.

I hold a steady presence of peace, love, and compassion, and I create a place of deep rest; a space safe enough for your nervous system to settle and for you to reconnect with your breath, your body, and your spirit.

What happens next is something like resonance. When a steady, high vibration is held near another, it invites the other to rise and meet it.

As I hold that frequency of love, your own system is welcomed to attune to it. In that sense, you are the healer. Your body already knows how to return to balance; I simply offer the light, the safety, and the presence that help it remember.

I also invite angels, spirit guides, and ancestors to come forward. They arrive with love and compassion to support the healing, never to perform it. When messages come through for you, whether from your guides or from loved ones who have crossed over, I share them with care.

My Foundation

I'm a trained Usui Reiki Master, and I love Reiki deeply. Reiki created monumental shifts in my spiritual and mental clarity and physical health. What I offer has grown into something of its own. I don't hold rigidly to any single method. I follow the light and the guidance I'm given, and I bring my whole self to each session. It’s like…Reiki-Plus.

This work is not based on any religion. It's open to everyone who comes seeking connection to Source, to their own intuition and higher self, and to a place of rest and balance. My own path began in the Roman Catholic faith, and I'm grateful for the foundation it gave me: a lasting trust in a divine source of all creation, and in the teachings of Christ-consciousness; compassion, forgiveness, and unconditional love.

That foundation has grown through years of travel, study, and mindful meditation. Exploring cultural traditions around the world, and learning from Buddhism and Celtic Shamanism, has expanded my perception of religion and spirituality. What I've found again and again is how much these paths share. Today, I follow that thread in my own way, guided by these many teachings and by direct experience rather than by any single tradition. You are welcome here exactly as you are, with whatever you believe or don't.

I offer is presence, attention, and the highest vibration of love I can bring into the room. Everything else follows from that.

My Why

My care isn't only energetic; it's also deeply physical. I'm a licensed massage therapist, and I specialize in oncology massage and manual lymphatic drainage: gentle, skilled bodywork for people moving through cancer treatment and recovery. This part of my path began when I cared for someone I love through her cancer journey, and it taught me that the body needs tending as tenderly as the spirit. Whether I'm working through my hands or through the light, the intention is the same: to create safety, ease, and rest so the whole person can begin to restore.

VALO was created in honor of my sister-in-law, Nikki, who is a survivor of Stage IV Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. She showed me how important it is to care for the whole person - mind, body, and spirit.

Together, we created Portia & Pete a greeting card company providing cards for people navigating cancer, illness, and caregiving. These are cards that say what everyone is thinking but nobody knows how to put into words. Born from personal experience, every card is made with humor, honesty, and the quiet belief that showing up for someone matters more than saying the perfect thing.
