Valerie Krause, SIH, SEP
Advanced Practitioner

Val first discovered Somatic Intuitive Healing (SIH) as a client in 2020 and found it grounding and transformative in a way she had never experienced before. For over 20 years, Valerie worked as a Family Practice medical doctor at a community health center when a sudden health crisis ended her Western Medicine career. This opened the door to her ongoing pursuit of somatic work, through which she had experienced innate safety, resource, comfort with her whole self, and was simply able enjoy life more. Valerie loves guiding and sharing SIH with her somatic clients and grateful to offer the support she was able to receive. Val is certified a Somatic Intuitive Healing Practitioner since 2024 and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner at the intermediate level. She is an Embodied Guide facilitator in Somatic and Restorative Yoga therapy and is currently earning her certification in somatic dialogue as a Polarity Life Coach at the Colorado School of Energy with Anna Chitty and will be earning her national certification in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy there beginning in 2027.
