I'm the Staff

I am Valerie the Spas owner and Sadie is my registered Therapy Dog. I started my training in 2004 at Muller Collage for Holistic Studies under Bill Muller studying Eastern and Western modalities including Asian Theory, Acupressure, Asian Fire Cupping, Sports Massage, Deep Tissue, Swedish, Heated Stone, Aromatherapy and Crystal energy healing. I stared my business in 2006 and continued my studies at Milan Institute and received my aesthetics licenses. I enjoy learning new modalities and eventually trained in 14 century Thai Poultice, Crystal bowl and Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Healing. With my continued education and addition of services I still love what I do!

 I'm recovering from a herniated disc in my lower back.  Valerie introduced me to LED light therapy, which I had never heard of before. The lights provided instant relief to my lower back pain.  And the massage was so therapeutic. I did deeper breathing (guided by Valerie) than I've ever done in any prior massage.  Very healing experience.  Highly recommend.  I'll be going back.

Valerie is awesome. Loved the facial. More than that just the personal connection. I will definitely make this a must for me. Can't wait to tell people about this!!
Thanks!!

I booked a Teen Facial for my son, who has been really struggling with his skin. He left the Spas clinic looking better than he has in months and his skin is so much calmer. One happy sixteen year old, makes for one happy Mom. Valerie is a delight, and really knows skin. You can't go wrong booking with her.!!

Really loved my experience here! Valerie is a master and knew just what I needed and didn't, both with the massage therapy and the facial treatment.
I was super-pregnant during my visit and Valerie was just amazing at working with me, letting me be comfortable, and still getting all of my tense spots.
When it came to the facial, she used pregnancy-safe products and recommended a few things for me to keep using at home. My skin has never looked better since!

Definitely looking forward to visiting Balance Health Spa next time we are in the area!
