When her first child experienced a lot of health issues and ear infections, Valarie sought a way to help her newborn son without medicine. She took him to get craniosacral therapy, a gentle technique, which was able to help him tremendously.
A Foundation in Education and Family
After earning her psychology degree and completing additional science coursework, Valarie initially pursued a master’s in education and taught fifth grade for five years. She then dedicated a decade to raising her four children while developing a growing interest in holistic health approaches. When her youngest turned three, she attended massage school during evenings and weekends, laying the groundwork for her current career.
Specialized Therapeutic Approach
“I’m a big anatomy buff,” Valarie shares, highlighting her enthusiasm for the investigative aspects of therapeutic massage. She specializes in both traditional massage therapy and craniosacral therapy, focusing on helping clients with injuries and chronic conditions. Her practice emphasizes a holistic approach to pain relief, offering massage and craniosacral as alternatives to over-the-counter medications, which come with various side effects.
In addition to working at inBalance Chiropractic and Wellness one day a week. Valarie has had her own massage practice for about 12 years.
Balance Beyond the Practice
A California native who has lived in different towns in Massachusetts with her husband, Valarie maintains a flexible schedule that allows her to prioritize family time with her four children, including one who is still at home.
When she’s not at the practice, Valarie enjoys doing yoga, which she refers to as her peaceful time, and is active in her church community. She also values quality time with family and friends, which helps her recharge.
