 Valerie Debicki

Valerie’s involvement in energy healing began with her interest in Reiki, meditation and yoga. In 2001 she completed training in Reiki level 1 and 2. In her search for more effective techniques, she soon discovered a new and emerging healing system – BodyTalk.

Valerie began her BodyTalk practice in September 2002 after completing modules 1 and 2. Soon she followed up with additional modules 3, 4, 5,6,7,8 and 9 completing all by the end of July 2004.

Recently, Valerie completed the Parama Unit 1 and 2 Practical with John Veltheim, obtaining the highest level of BodyTalk education.

She is also expanding her education in the fields of energy medicine, native Indian techniques of healing and homeopathy. Over the years of busy practice the fields of fertility, family relationships and treatment of allergies emerged as her particularly effective specialties. She is known for her gentle approach and detailed explanations of the treatments applied.

Valerie has obtained her Master's Degree in Economics at the University of Poznan, Poland. Although most of her life she has worked in the Airline Industry, her real passion lies in energy medicine such as Reiki and BodyTalk.
