About Me
Valerie Zabinski is a licensed massage therapist with over 15 years of experience, specializing in CranioSacral Therapy and Mercier Therapy for both fertility and non-fertility clients. Her work is deeply rooted in a holistic, trauma-informed approach to reproductive and pelvic health. Valerie is passionate about supporting women through all stages of their reproductive journey—from conception and pregnancy to postpartum integration—helping them reconnect with their bodies and inner wisdom. Her nurturing presence and intuitive touch create a safe space for deep healing, balance, and embodied wellness. Valerie also provides therapeutic massage for anyone seeking support for general wellness, stress relief, or injury recovery.
Valerie was drawn to this work through her own fertility journey. She is currently a teaching assistant and student with the Upledger Institute, where she continues to deepen her knowledge of CranioSacral Therapy. She also leads book clubs focused on postpartum healing and motherhood, creating meaningful spaces for connection and reflection in community.
My Skills
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a light-touch approach that can create dramatic improvements in you life. It releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction, and improve whole-body health and performance. A typical CranioSacral Therapy session takes place in a quiet, private setting. You remain fully clothed as you relax on a comfortable, padded table. I begin by gently touching various parts of your head and body to monitor the rhythm of the fluid that is flowing around your central nervous system.
CranioSacral Therapy assists with the following:
- Migraines and Headaches
- Chronic Neck, Back and Joint Pain
- Stress and Tension-Related Disorders
- Motor-Coordination Impairments
- Infant and Childhood Disorders
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Post-Concussion Symptoms
- Chronic Fatigue
- Fibromyalgia
- TMJ Syndrome
- Scoliosis
- Central Nervous System Disorders
- Learning Disabilities
- ADD/ADHD
- Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
- Orthopedic Problems
- Alzheimer’s and Dementia
Mercier Therapy is a deep pelvic organ visceral manipulative technique in which the reproductive organs are mobilized and blood flow restored. This gentle and non invasive technique is beneficial for women of all ages facing fertility challenges, pelvic pain, gynecological surgery recovery, or having gone through traumatic birth experiences.
