“Valerie is a very professional, attentive and caring therapist. She puts you at ease as soon as you enter her office and listens to your needs. I highly recommend her.”
“After spending 5 months trying to have a baby, we had no results, even though our first child arrived very quickly. I did a Breathwork session with Valérie and the following month I discovered that I was pregnant. What can I say except thank you!”
“Great encounter and great session, I can only recommend Valérie! She is super gentle and a great listener. It is the first time I have felt that something was really happening when working on myself. I loved it and I will do it again as soon as possible! Thanks again.”
“Valerie dear, thank you so much for your warm, patient effort and support to make the online breathing session possible. I was unsure of how a virtual one could work. But I was pleasantly surprised by the attention it gave to certain body parts, by the combination of movement and stillness, of sound and silence. All of it helped me look at the body-mind connection in a new way. I now cannot wait for an in-person session with you!”
“The Lahochi treatment made me feel calmer, with natural breathing and an overall sense of calm.”
“Thank you so much, Valérie, for these 2 Transformational Breath sessions! She was gentle, with a powerful empathy and an accuracy in her approach that makes me even prouder of the journey I am on as a future Transformational Breath facilitator, when I see how far she has come. Valérie deploys this tool and its richness with an ease that makes you feel safe and allows you to draw from deep within yourself all the things you need to deep development and the integration of painful patterns. I can only wish you to give it a try and take a step towards yourself.”
“A Transformational Breath that transforms your life through the change it brings about in you. Everything is opening up now, the integration has done its work and I'm going to be able to take full advantage of it. Many thanks to you, Valérie, for your gentleness, for your listening skills, for passing on your passion and, finally, for all the benefits that are beginning to show. Breathing is life, and I'm feeling its full meaning today.”
“Thank you, Valérie, for your commitment. It is palpable, very supportive and, I hope, contagious. I really felt you WITH me during these sessions. Your intuition gives confidence. You seem to know what to do and what to say: sometimes silent, sometimes coaching, sometimes enveloping ... determined to find the right response to whatever comes up. Thank you for that. During the whole week that followed this last session, it was your voice that came in as a resource to give the necessary impetus to sounds that came out a little timidly during the self-sessions.”
“Thank you, Valérie, for introducing me to your practice during a session full of discoveries. Transformational Breath is liberating, and your presence at our side is caring, enveloping and generous. Thank you for this experience!”
“Exceptional in-depth work on our unconscious patterns using our most powerful tool: our breath! Valérie guides us wonderfully through this process ... Thank you so much!”
“I'm familiar with Transformational Breath and was happily surprised by the online session. Thanks to Valérie's guidance, I immediately went into my session and forgot the screen that was in between us. Valérie's professionalism, her listening skills, her gentleness and her kindness enabled me to feel safe, and to feel completely serene and energized at the end of the session. However, I recommand online breathing sessions after having done at least a regular session in order to fully benefit from it. It's an excellent compromise between a self-facilitated breathing session and a group session.”
“I had a great online session with Valérie. She was able to guide me so that I could gradually settle into a deep, fluid breathing pattern. She reassured me with her words, her gentle voice and her kindness. I could really feel her presence throughout the session. She knew how to guide me to press on where it was blocked. It was incredible! I was worried about online facilitation because I am rather anxious, but I do not regret it at all. The benefits and improvements I felt speak for themselves. I will be doing it again soon. Many thanks Valérie! I am so glad I found you! ”
“What an incredible tool Transformational Breath is! As long as we are ready to welcome and accept what comes our way and are surrounded by people who are in tune with us and with whom we resonate. That is what I would like to say about you and how you have been one of the decisive people in my awakening. Your support at the seminar and during the weeks of training was profoundly right, aligned, soothing and reassuring, at a time when that first breathing session awoke old demons and unsuspected anger. I had never imagined I had that in me! How could I have so much anger and sadness when I consider myself rather privileged?! Watching you evolve, seeing your ever-widening smile light up your face, seeing you so free in this flamenco dance moved me: it was so gentle and so powerful! I particularly appreciate your authenticity. There is no pretence with you. You are straightforward, while being kind. I also enjoyed our exchanges. I would like to be closer to you to continue my work, wrapped up in your presence. I can only warmly recommend you to anyone looking for a listening and resourcing place, a comforting and reassuring place to let that part of ourselves that we do not dare to reveal emerge. Dare, yes, finally, and reveal ourselves to ourselves by Unfolding into Being, with the help of your guidance.”
“I was fortunate to meet Valérie at a Transformational Breath intensive seminar where she was part of the team of facilitators. Valérie accompanied me in my process of healing, of emotional release, and of discovering and opening my breath, with a lot of gentleness, a relevant and appropriate touch, and a great deal of humility. She supported me enormously in my breathing processes and was able to act each time with such accuracy, precision, and cogency. Transformational Breath® is an incredible approach, and Valérie embodies it in such a beautiful way! You will be supported on this journey towards yourself, not always comfortable, but so liberating and necessary. Thank you, thank you, thank you again Valérie. I look forward to our paths crossing again.”
“Thank you for the powerful Lahochi treatment you gave me last week. The loss of my father really shook me up and made me question a lot of things. I was glued to my bed and could not move during the 45-minute treatment. There were tears then peace, more tears and then images, concerns and worries came up. And then just calmness. Thank you.”
“After my Transformational Breath session, I felt a deep sense of well-being. Looking forward to another session, I have continued to do Valérie's breathing exercises at home. I feel a powerful awareness that is helping me enormously to get closer to my goals.”
“Valérie, I'd like to express my gratitude for the first Transformational Breath® session I've just experienced! It was intense, pleasant, unpleasant and rejuvenating too! It was a discovery! I had the feeling of unloading the past and its weight, and what a release it was after the movement exercise! When it was time to relax, I felt fulfilled, I felt good in my body and in the space I was in. I was embedded in the mattress: we were one, with deep relaxation. I felt good, serene, and to be in this state of mind is a delight! The integration pause was very beneficial for me, necessary to integrate all this well-being. I felt good and tasted serenity, peace, harmony and union. I was in a State of Grace! When I sat down, I felt my face smooth, a confirmation of relaxation, for me. Your discreet presence was precious for me upon coming back, and I felt so safe! All my gratitude, Valérie.”
“My last Transformational Breath session with Valérie took me where I wanted to go, without knowing how, in search of my unidentified emotional knots. What a joy it was to be able to visit this place, to meet myself, in a context made very safe by Valérie's presence, with real support and genuine availability. Thank you so much!”
“The Lahochi treatment Valérie gave me transported me into a restorative space. It was like being suspended. Nothing to do but receive. A gentle, caring treatment that did me a world of good. I felt as if I had been ‘cleansed’ of outdated energies that it was time to renew. Thank you so much, Valérie, for this wonderful treatment!”
“My first experience with Lahochi was remotely, with Valérie. I was surprised to feel a wave of warmth that went from my hands to my arms. The treatment also provoked sensations I had never felt before. I was able to relax during the treatment and felt soothed at the end. My second treatment was done on a massage table. With my agreement, Valérie also played various instruments before and after the treatment, which I appreciated and which helped me to relax. This time, too, I was able to feel various sensations inside my body that I was not familiar with. The treatment did me a lot of good and I was able to experience a sense of well-being afterwards. Worth repeating!”
“Thank you, Valérie, for your professional and gentle guidance in this Transformational Breath session. I was able to anchor in myself a beautiful insight in line with my intention, and experience a moment of peace and grace at the end of the session.”
“I received a Transformational Breath session from Valérie and really appreciated her kindness and professionalism. This session made me aware of what I wanted to improve and also contributed greatly to improving my situation. Thank you so much, Valérie!”
“At the beginning of October, I received a Lahochi treatment from Valérie. I really enjoyed it because I felt so good throughout the treatment and afterwards. I felt warmth and gentleness. My whole system relaxed and I almost fell asleep. For me, this meant that I felt completely at ease with Valérie. Also, Valérie offered me the initiation to this therapeutic approach. I said YES, because I knew how much well-being it gives. I felt the same gentleness and warmth during the initiation. I did one self-treatment a day for 21 consecutive days and I was able to integrate a deeper state of peace and relaxation. Thank you, Valérie, for your professionalism and kindness throughout this process.”
“My first session brought me a lot of joy. I was surprised by the immediate sense of well-being I felt. I received excellent support and information before, during and after the work. I do the 15-minute breathing sessions regularly. The breathing sessions bring me great inner calm, joy, relaxation, and perspective on external events.”
“I had never heard of Transformational Breath before I discovered this interesting technique practised by Valérie. First of all, I really enjoyed the time I spent during two sessions. Thanks to the breathing, I was able to relax completely and achieve exceptional well-being, which in my case is never easy. What is more, after the first session, I could already see undeniable benefits, including: much less anxiety, which corresponded to the intention defined at the start of the session, and at the same time a significant boost in energy. So, I can only recommend that you put your trust in Valérie. Like me, you will appreciate her ability to listen, her calm and soothing voice, and above all her skills in Transformational Breath.”
“A space of peace, kindness, listening and care. I felt a real listening before the session begins, and was given precise information about how the session will unfold. The aim is to bring out the patterns buried deep within us, and to move towards a liberation of our Being through this particular breathing technique, combined with acupressure points, movements, sound... Then it is up to us to maintain, through this learning process, the pacifying and alleviating benefits of this breath therapy, led with heart and spirit by Valérie.”
“Valérie guided me in defining my intention for the session while giving me freedom to choose it. The sessions took place in a spirit of kindness and mutual support. A presence that was both discreet to keep me focused on myself, and at the same time constantly proactive to help me breathe properly throughout the session. I find this ‘technique’ very intense and effective. I can't wait for the next sessions!”
“A Transformational Breath session with Valérie is a powerful experience. Valérie is a very present and attentive person, who accompanies this unique moment with great sensitivity, gentleness, and depth. I recommend her without hesitation!”
“I was fortunate to experience five Transformational Breath sessions with Valérie. I did not know this approach before and I experienced real changes. My body released tensions that had been held prisoner for a very long time. I experienced visions that gave me messages. I felt accompanied by Valérie and by a powerful and benevolent energy. I encourage you to have a session to find out, because words do not tell you as much as experience does. Thank you, Valérie, for this precious guidance.
“Very beautiful experiences of Transformational Breath, accompanied by Valérie. I felt expanded and more grounded, and I felt the full potential of being able to breathe deeply into every part of my body – a feeling of liberation and power. Thank you, Valérie, for your guidance during these sessions.”
