Valerie Reed

My work is client-centered, culturally competent and process oriented. The services I offer focus on Introspective Hypnosis® but also incorporate other methods to help clients find answers to deeply held questions, discover and remember their own inner strengths and to encourage beneficial thinking, feeling, forgiveness and to transmute undesirable habits or emotions.

As a hypnotherapist and coach, I believe my role is to facilitate and guide clients through their process of inter-personal discovery, connection with the higher self, emphasizing forgiveness as a path to empowerment. I am of the belief that healing is an ongoing process, rather than a ‘one-time’ event. The healing process may be long or short term as it all depends on your journey.

Since childhood, my ‘intuitive voice’ has developed and continually guides my work. My experience teaching sociology, mentoring, study of ATRs, energy healing and educational background all combine allowing me to offer unique, culturally competent approaches to Assemblage Point energy balancing, divination - intuitive readings, coaching and Introspective Hypnosis®.

My practice is conducted online and by phone. Due to the pandemic, I will not offer in-person sessions for the near future. I am based in southern California. However, during part of each year, I am either in Pahoa, Hawaii or Escondido, California. Please contact me to schedule an online or in-person appointment or to ask questions. I look forward to learning about you and discussing the ways in which my practice will be of benefit to you.

First, for as long as I can remember I have felt drawn to be present for those in need and have felt sensitive to the experiences, struggles, joys and cultures of others. The ways in which I focus on wellness are varied and regardless of the method, my goals are always to encourage healing and love.

One of the ways I accomplish this was to become a sociology instructor and work with abused kids. I have counseled countless young adults in navigating the challenges of life. Another contributing factor came about during a severe illness. Because traditional medicine was unable to diagnose and help me heal, I sought alternative practitioners who were able to diagnose and treat the illness. This inspired me to immerse myself into various healing modalities and ultimately becoming a practitioner myself, creating safer cosmetic products and education.


Finally, these interests inspired me to travel, study and write about ATRs in Brasil, the Caribbean and the United States and the ways in which ATRs play a role in spiritual and community well being. This work is also an aspect of my lineage with practitioners going back generations.

Clients generally remark that they felt comfortable and understood. These are a few quotes from Client reviews after their first visit:

• “[A]n amazing journey…”
• “She makes you feel right at home.”
• “Super Deep, Emotionally Transformational Session!”

• “It was extremely enlightening.”

• “She was attentive in understanding the problem and the various ways it occurs, is triggered, and is rooted in my own traumatic life experiences.”
• "She is direct, focused and will tell you what you need to hear, even if you don’t want to hear it. "

Introspective Hypnosis, or any of the services I offer are all components of an overall journey that lead through a path of self discovery. I work to create a safe space in which questions and concerns can be addressed freely, which also fosters an environment ripe for in-depth, reflective work and self-care.



Occasionally, I find that people may be hesitant about hypnosis, divination, energy work or even coaching, generally because of either negative experiences with other practitioners or having seen entertainment focused or negative mass media portrayals, like a stage hypnotist or psychic hotline scam. After explaining the processes and techniques I use, Clients who may have been hesitant are at-ease and ready to begin.
