Attune Up
Our Healing Services
Attune Up sessions combine a variety of practices and modalities, including bodywork therapy, sound therapy, grief education, intuitive guidance and tarot, cupping, reflexology, and more. You don't need to know exactly what you need for that day—that's where my experience and expertise come in. We’ll discuss what you’re bringing to the table that day and determine together which modalities will best support your session and long-term goals. You choose the duration; we choose how to use the time.
Attune Up Session
One Session, Many Possibilities
​
You don't have to figure out what you need before you arrive. Attune Up sessions begins with a conversation about what you’re bringing to the table that day.
Â
From there, we can determine together what approaches may best support you, rather than trying to fit your experience into a predetermined modality. I bring my training, intuition, and professional expertise to help guide that process. Together, we decide what belongs in the session.
​
Depending on what emerges, Attune Up sessions may incorporate bodywork, reflexology, cupping, sound therapy, breathwork, somatic movement, tarot or oracle, intuitive practices, spiritual guidance, grief education, ritual, or other modalities within my scope of practice.
Spiritual Guidance and Grief Education
As a Certified Grief Educator, I am committed to providing the highest level of grief support through education, experience, and insights into the often unacknowledged rocky terrain of grief. Â
​
Spiritual Guidance is a container for self-exploration and spiritual development on a soul level. You set the pace of the journey while I offer guidance, education, perspective, and practices drawn from intuitive work, Pagan and Animist spirituality, mythology, the Wheel of the Year, divination, somatic practices, and more.
Â
Together, we explore the patterns, experiences, beliefs, and questions that are asking for your attention. This work is about integration, transformation, and attunement—discovering what continues to serve you, what may have completed its purpose, and what you're ready to release.
Â
By learning how to process, integrate, transform, and attune, we get to choose the tools that serve us best and what we allow to come along on the next part of the journey.

My Philosophy
This Is More Than A Massage...
My philosophy is that buried pain doesn't decompose. It remains beneath the surface until the conditions arrive for its roots to spread or to be unearthed and processed. The more we resist the natural cycles of healing, the more of ourselves we surrender to the pain.
While we cannot force healing, together we can cultivate the conditions that allow it to unfold, creating the space to journey from surviving to thriving.
To Attune Up is to become the steward of your own inner landscape—listening deeply, tending compassionately, and cultivating the conditions in which your truest nature can flourish.

Meet The Owner
Rev. Valerie Steinken, LMBT 11133-146
I’m Rev. Valerie Steinken, founder of Attune Up LLC. I’ve been a licensed massage and bodywork therapist for 15 years, but my curiosity about people and the places where our stories intersect began long before that. I’ve always been drawn to the deeper layers of what makes us who we are, and I am not afraid of the things we hide in the shadows.
​
My own path has taken me through grief, trauma, loss, caregiving, motherhood, and some very dark and complicated places. I’ve lost myself and struggled to find my way back. Along the way, I’ve learned firsthand what unresolved pain can become when we don’t have the support, knowledge, or conditions to tend to it. Those experiences, combined with years of professional practice and study, have shaped the way I see people and the way I understand healing.
​
I created Attune Up after becoming a mother to a child with a serious illness, caring for my grandmother through medical crises and hospice, and realizing something I had been learning throughout my life: the path to real healing should never be walked alone.
​
For 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of working as a licensed healthcare provider in a wide range of settings, from luxury spas and Ayurvedic wellness centers to medical massage clinics and an outdoor pavilion in Cambodia. For eight consecutive years, I volunteered compassionate touch, massage, and sound therapy with children affected by HIV/AIDS through New Hope for Cambodian Children.
​
I’m certified in Compassionate Touch through The Heart Touch Project, a certified Grief Educator through David Kessler’s program, and have trained in Sound Therapy through the International Sound Therapy Association. I am also an ordained Pagan minister and spiritual educator, with a lifelong practice rooted in animism, Pagan traditions, intuitive work, and an ongoing curiosity about the seen and unseen dimensions of our existence.
​
I’m a world traveler and lifelong learner, and I continue to seek out experiences, teachers, traditions, and practices that deepen my understanding of what helps people heal. At Attune Up, I bring those years of education, professional experience, intuition, and lived experience together to meet each person where they are.
​
Some people might call me a guide, a witness, a confidant, or an ally. I’m a little more inclined to call myself the Witch of the Wildwood—an educator who has spent a lifetime learning how to find her way through the woods, and who is willing to walk beside you and help you find yours.
