Hello, beautiful soul! I’m so glad you’re here and making time to schedule a massage, energy work 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, move our bodies, 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.
My Why
VALO was created in honor of my sister-in-law, who is a survivor of Stage IV Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. As I cared for her during treatment, she inspired me to become a Massage Therapist & Reiki practitioner. She showed me how important it is to care for the whole person - mind, body, and soul.
I come to every session with the intention of helping my clients reconnect to their innate ability to restore their balance of energy and wellness. Through my intuitive abilities, it fills me with immense joy to connect others with messages from their spiritual guides and loved ones who have transitioned beyond the veil. Every day in the studio is rewarding!
About Me
I believe I’ve walked the path of a healer in many lifetimes. My soul is called to serve others - never for personal gain, but always to assist the Collective in moving towards balance and love.
My ability to see, hear, and sense messages from Spirit is one of the greatest gifts I have received. I feel immense gratitude to help others connect to their higher selves, intuition, spirit guides, and loved ones who have crossed over. This often happens during reiki sessions.
I have cultivated this ability through studying spiritual texts, learning from spiritual teachers, Reiki, and deep prayerful meditation. My mind is fascinated by philosophy, culture, tradition, and ancient spiritual practice. Meditation is an important part of my practice in order to stay grounded, open, and in a space of gratitude and love.
I’m inspired by travel, art, books, and the sea. I love to paint, read, hike along a river, and binge a good show. My life has allowed me the opportunity to explore 18 countries, learning all along the way that we are so much more similar than we are different. I’ve also experienced the world is filled with unending, breathtaking beauty if we allow ourselves to be present.
I’m a mom to a beautiful, neuro-spicy kiddo. Dog mom to our adorable shichon fur-ever pup. And, I’m blessed to walk alongside my empathetic, feminist husband, who encourages me to live my dreams and further develop my gifts every day. We dream of retiring in an Irish cottage on the sea.
