Release stress and shift into healing mode.

REALIZATIONS

I’m a native New Yorker, and I’ll be honest here – I started out skeptical about the healing arts. Coming from a high-pressure job in the NY fashion world as a casting director and photo shoot producer, I used to say (not-so-jokingly) that I felt like I was the “manager of the worry store.” Healing was not exactly on my radar. 

 

Then on New Year’s Eve of 2006, I was invited to a Zen Buddhist monastery for a 5-hour meditation experience. Up to that point, I hadn’t meditated for 5-minutes, let alone 5 hours -- but something in me knew I needed to go that night. While sitting on a wood floor that night, I heard guidance tell me that I needed to learn Reiki (a form of energy healing).

 

Learning Reiki changed my life. Not only did I learn how to ground anxiety and shift painful patterns, the biggest gift it gave me was that it helped me reconnect to the magic of life. That wonder we all felt as kids.

 

 In 2011, I officially opened my energy healing practice

 
 
 

 ROOTS

My paternal great, great-grandfather came from Laos where he was the dream advisor  to the King (yep, the actual King). My great, great-grandfather’s work involved listening to the dream world and coaxing the shadowed meanings of the subconscious into the light. 

I think about this with amazement, because my own work feels connected to this healing lineage. My work is based on a principle of deep listening – listening to our dreams, to our bodies and to our emotions in order to find answers. In addition, my work also weaves in many other elements of holistic healing. 

I’m certified as a Reiki Master, NLP, Hypnosis, Yoga and Meditation teacher, and in my 12 years of professional practice working with holistic modalities such as flower essences, sound healing and craniosacral work, I’ve developed my own Integrative Energy Healing modality.

Integrative Energy Healing supports you in transforming stuck patterns at the root level, so you feel more energized, inspired and connected to your life purpose.

RITUALS

I founded Modern Ritual NYC to create a sanctuary where my clients could experience even deeper, transformational healing.  

Clients say that the experiences they have with me at Modern Ritual NYC can be life-changing. Why? There are two main reasons: 

One, we’re able to work on the deepest level of the body where patterns start – the energetic level. This means that we get to the source of imbalances, and shift them at the root. 

And two, we’re working in a committed healing container. At Modern Ritual NYC I specialize in guiding clients through a comprehensive healing journey that delivers exciting, empowering results that go way beyond ordinary sessions. If you’re someone who wants to create a powerful core shift in yourself and open to your dream life, this might be exactly what you’ve been searching for. 

 
 

Modern Ritual NYC is dedicated to helping you unlock the healing magic that lives within you.

 
 
 
 

 Reiki with Valerie is nothing short of miraculous.

She’s a gifted healer, who’s kind heart and soothing presence make it easy to relax and trust the process. I booked our first session together during an especially stressful period in my life and was blown away by the results. After just one hour, I was lighter, happier and more at peace. Even my friends and family noticed an instant shift in my energy. With follow-up treatments, I’ve been able process and release difficult emotions, while discovering a renewed sense of presence and optimism. Bottom line: reiki works and you’re in excellent hands with Valerie!
