I am a certified Bach Practitioner working with botanical alchemy in the tradition of Dr Edward Bach.
I was born in Aotearoa [New Zealand], and raised between Ōtautahi and East Asia. I now live between Tāmaki Makaurau, where I offer consultations from my central city studio — and an isolated valley in Coromandel, where I blend personalised remedies for clients and friends world-wide.
Coming from a long line of natural healers on my maternal side, I inherited a deep respect for the healing power of plants, and a love for natural medicine.
While working as a professional musician - touring internationally since 2012 - I developed a passion for Flower Remedies (a wonderful form of emotional support for the sometimes uncertain life of an artist!)
After educating myself on the system for some time, I eventually began study via the Wellington School of Massage Therapy, and finally completed practitioner training via the Bach Centre UK - learning from mentors in the lineage of Edward Bach.
I believe in the importance of human-nature connection, and every individual’s autonomy over wholistic health. I am committed to helping my clients foster balance and well-being, thanks to these truly magic gifts from the earth.

"Consultations with Valentine are a joy. I've been using my personalised 'rescue' blend for almost a year, it works so much better than the Rescue Remedy I have tried off the shelf. I don't go anywhere without it!"

“After the pandemic I developed some anxieties which resulted in minor panic attacks. The bach flowers have become a huge comfort and I have noticed a significant lessoning of anxiety. I’m so grateful to Valentine for her informed knowledge and support.”
