“I can’t say enough good things about Val. I started seeing her for stress and mental health support, and the difference I’ve felt is truly amazing. After each session, I walk away feeling lighter, calmer, and more grounded. Val has such a warm, comforting presence—it’s easy to feel safe and understood with her. We’ve built a really special bond, and honestly, she gives the best hugs ever (seriously, they’re magic). If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and knows how to help you heal from the inside out, I absolutely recommend her.”Read moreShow less

“I’ve had back and neck pain on and off throughout the years, and western medicine has not helped me much. I wanted to try acupuncture for quite some time, but I was sceptical about it and didn’t really know anyone I was willing to trust. Val was highly recommended to me by my sister and my first visit was great. Not only did she help alleviate the pain, she educated me about the root cause of it. I will definitely keep going back for more treatments and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Val.”Read moreShow less

“My legs and feet have been hurting for over a year now, and I wanted to turn to Chinese Medicine to treat them. Several months passed before I finally decided to look seriously for a professional. I was immediately inspired and attracted when I discovered the Synthera Therapeutics website, and my first appointment with Valerie confirmed my initial impression: her professionalism, values and authenticity are quite remarkable. She has all the qualities I could hope for in a practitioner: kindness, compassion, empathy, wisdom, expertise and knowledge. Valerie has been treating me for almost two months now. I can confirm a marked improvement, both physically and mentally. During the sessions, I really appreciate her holistic approach, her gentleness, her sincere and attentive listening, her explanations about the areas of the body that she is treating. To be honest, I feel very lucky and blessed to have met Val. I am constantly looking forward to my next appointment with her, because I always leave full of energy and optimism.”Read moreShow less

“Val has helped me so much. I have suffered with migraines, eczema, and for the last decade often painful, uncontrollable twitching and numbness in my hands; I'm not entirely cured, but my symptoms and quality of life have been drastically improved by regular treatments, and my day to day functioning is so much better. Val really listens, and works to find and treat the heart of the issue. I can't recommend her services enough.”Read moreShow less

“Val is an amazing acupuncturist, she is very knowledgeable of what she does and very gentle and she always checks on me on how my body reacts to the treatment. The holistic approach that she used during the treatment opened up myself of my past traumas and she always looks for the cause of my symptoms holistically. Thank you Val 💗❤️”Read moreShow less

“Don’t walk, run to see Val! If you are working on your holistic health, Val has to be on your team! I’ve had the privilege of knowing her for 6 years. Words cannot describe how blessed I feel to have met her! My life has been transformed thanks to her exceptional skills and knowledge. I call her a bottomless well of experience and wisdom regarding many forms of medicine and therapy. Val practices with unrivalled empathy and self-awareness. Over the years, she has helped me with many ever-changing mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health issues. As I grow and change through life, her guidance has been invaluable. A family member referred me to Val in 2017 when I started yoga therapy and wasn’t even seeking acupuncture. “Just go see Val, she is amazing!”. I’m sure glad I did! Val has redefined Chinese medicine and acupuncture for me. I walk out of her appointments feeling more empowered than when I arrived. How my mind-body processes life has never been the same! Val is the real deal and a rare gem in this world of healthcare practitioners. I would give her 10 stars out of 5 if I could!”Read moreShow less

“I was a client of Val's back in 2010-2011, she was the first acupuncturist I had ever seen. Was amazed how she was able to help with a complicated nerve issue that no other modality could even touch. So, when another medical issue came up in 2021, I did not hesitate to start seeing her again. And what a difference it has made in my life. I highly recommend working with Val. She is very knowledgeable, caring, gentle and compassionate---and she listens. She is a credit to the healing arts and I wish more practitioners were like her.”Read moreShow less

“I have been seeing Val for years! She is amazing. She is the most knowledgeable in her practice but also outside in so many aspects. My health is always the best when I'm seeing her on a regular basis. 10/10 I recommend to everyone. You will not only feel so at ease with her calm demeanor but your health is being taken care of full circle.”Read moreShow less
