It has taken me decades to come to a place where I recognize and receive myself as a woman fully embodied and whole. However, I also know that a woman cannot be fully whole until she also welcomes the deep connection she has with her sexual organ, the repository of her creativity, power and intuition. This has perhaps been the hardest aspect of my healing journey.
It was until I was in my mid 30s that I remembered some extraordinarily painful memories of childhood and adolescent sexual abuse. I had been raped and abused several times in my 20s, but did not know that it was only a continuation of decades of abuse. I stepped boldly onto a continued healing path and explored multiple modalities including talk therapy and cognitive therapy as well as energetics, breathwork and yoga. I knew that having a loving sexual partner might eventually happen, but I wasn’t fully ready to receive until I made amends with myself.
I don’t even know how I discovered Valerie, but I trusted Divine Intervention. The sacred container that was created by Valerie from the very start of our meeting was maintained until the very end. While I know that everyone will experience something different, I do believe it is vital to express that not only did I feel safe to relax, release and stay open to receive the delicate, subtle and beautiful healing of my session, but I also felt that I was given permission to cocreate the experience.
There was never a moment when I felt I was left wondering what was going to happen. There were moments when I journeyed deep within my body to understand where the blockages were, and what they were connected to. I was able to release them with gratitude and sometimes tears. The reverence and compassion with which Valerie honored my body and my sacred vagina restored a level of trust that I had perhaps given up on. I went from black and white to technicolor by the end of the session and was overwhelmed with sensations of blossoming life, hope, creativity, and endless gratitude. I have endeavored to use my deep traumas as portals through which to gather medicine, and was ready to move to the next level; therefore, I am incredibly grateful to Valerie for holding the space and being the loving and gentle midwife of calling me back home to my wholeness through this precious ceremony.
I highly recommend Valerie and this experience for any woman who is ready to step into her fullness while knowing she is lovingly held in tender arms
