The treatment is comprised of a series of online meetings, where we can see each other through the camera. It is a personalized treatment, which is taking into consideration the patient's unique physical and mental state. The process of recovery can be induced by reducing the main triggers, regaining nutritional deficiencies, rehabilitating the system, and improving physical and mental adaptation to stress. My therapeutic approach is not just about suppressing the symptoms but more about addressing the root cause of the existing imbalance. During the meetings, we will discuss the health problem which bothers you. At the end of each meeting, you will get nutritional and herbal recommendations, if needed. In some cases we might touch more personal and deeper layers of your emotional and mental state that are associated with your health imbalance. My main purpose is to listen very carefully and nonjudgmental and eventually lead the conversation to places that will raise awareness and motivate the person to make the right choices that serve his health.

My intention is that you leave each follow-up feeling heard, refocused, and re-energized by our work together. I'll email a summary after every visit clearly detailing your updated protocols, recipes, and recommendations. Ongoing guidance keeps your healing momentum strong! The treatments are suitable for adults, adolescents, and children. I am always available for questions and quick consultations in-between sessions via WhatsApp.
My unique selling points and aspects that set my approach apart in treating digestive issues:
A comprehensive approach: My approach integrates the latest evidence-based scientific research and modern medical understanding of digestive disorders with time-honored, natural remedies and practices that have been used for centuries in various traditional healing systems. I incorporate scientific knowledge into my practice, utilizing techniques like advanced diagnostic testing and evidence-based dietary and lifestyle interventions. At the same time, I draw upon the wisdom of traditional systems of Western Herbal Medicine. These practice offer a rich repository of knowledge on the use of herbs, spices, and natural remedies for promoting digestive health and addressing various gut-related issues. From my experience, incorporation of traditional natural forms of treatment, such as herbal remedies, functional foods, and mind-body practices, offers a holistic and integrative approach. These natural therapies often address the root causes of digestive issues, support the body's innate healing mechanisms, and promote overall well-being, rather than just treating symptoms. My well-rounded approach recognizes the intricate connection between the gut, the immune system, and overall health and allows me to develop personalized treatment plans that address the physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors contributing to my patients' digestive issues. My approach not only aims to alleviate symptoms, but also focuses on restoring balance, promoting gut healing, and empowering your patients to make sustainable lifestyle changes that support long-term digestive health and overall wellness.
Specialization: Over the past 10 years, I have worked extensively with hundreds of patients suffering from chronic and often debilitating inflammatory conditions like Crohn's disease, Ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, Gastritis and other digestive imbalances like Sibo (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), constipation and more. These conditions can be challenging to manage, often requiring a combination of medical interventions and lifestyle modifications. Through my practice, I have gained invaluable hands-on experience in developing personalized treatment plans that address the unique needs and complexities of each patient's condition.
Personalized Treatment: I recognize that every individual is unique, with diverse genetic makeup, environmental exposures, lifestyle factors, and emotional experiences contributing to their digestive health. As such, I take a truly personalized approach, carefully considering each patient's specific circumstances, medical history, and personal goals.
On the physical level, I employ a range of targeted interventions tailored to the individual's condition and needs. This may involve customized nutritional plans, incorporating specific therapeutic diets, elimination protocols, or targeted supplementation to address nutrient deficiencies or imbalances. Additionally, I recommend herbal formulations or natural remedies specifically chosen for their ability to support gut healing, reduce inflammation, or address specific symptoms. I recognize that physical health is intrinsically linked to mental and emotional well-being, especially in the context of chronic digestive disorders.
My approach involves supporting patients through the mental and emotional processes associated with managing these often debilitating conditions. This may include incorporating mind-body techniques such as mindfulness practices, stress management strategies, or cognitive-behavioral therapies to help patients cope with the psychological impacts of their condition and develop resilience.
I understand that lifestyle factors play a significant role in digestive health. As part of my personalized treatment approach, I work closely with patients to identify and address lifestyle contributors that may be exacerbating their condition. This could involve providing guidance on sleep hygiene, exercise routines, stress management techniques, or environmental modifications to create an optimal healing environment.
Dietary changes are often a cornerstone of my treatment plans. I take the time to understand each patient's unique dietary preferences, cultural backgrounds, and food sensitivities or intolerances. Based on this information, I develop tailored meal plans, recipe recommendations, and practical strategies to help patients adopt and sustain dietary changes that promote gut healing and overall well-being.
Throughout the treatment process, I maintain open communication with my patients, actively seeking their feedback and adjusting the treatment plan as needed. This collaborative approach ensures that the treatment remains relevant, effective, and aligned with the patient's evolving needs and goals.
By providing this level of personalized care, addressing both the physical and mental aspects of digestive health, and empowering patients to make sustainable lifestyle and dietary changes, I create a supportive environment that facilitates true healing and long-term management of chronic digestive conditions.
Extensive Experience: With a decade of hands-on experience working directly with hundreds of patients, I have gained invaluable, comprehensive practical knowledge in the field of nutritional and herbal therapies for digestive health. This extensive clinical experience has provided me with a deep understanding of how these natural interventions can be effectively applied to address a wide range of digestive issues.
Through my work with diverse patient populations, I have witnessed first-hand the transformative power of tailored nutritional plans, targeted supplementation, and skillfully formulated herbal remedies. I have seen how these natural approaches can not only alleviate symptoms but also support the body's innate healing mechanisms, promoting long-term gut health and overall well-being.
My practical knowledge extends beyond theoretical concepts, as I have had the opportunity to observe and analyze the real-world outcomes of my interventions. This has allowed me to refine my approach continually, learning from both successes and challenges, and adapting my strategies to better suit individual patient needs. Moreover, my work as a consultant in leading global herbal and supplementation companies has provided me with an in-depth understanding of nutritional supplements and their applications.
Through my collaboration with these companies, I have gained insights into the latest developments in supplement formulations, delivery systems, and ingredient synergies. This knowledge has enabled me to make informed recommendations and integrate high-quality, well-researched supplements into my patients' treatment plans, enhancing the effectiveness of my overall approach.
Multidisciplinary Expertise: My approach to addressing digestive issues is drawing upon a diverse range of safe and effective natural practices. This multidisciplinary expertise allows me to tackle complex conditions from various angles, providing a comprehensive and holistic treatment experience for my patients.
At the core of my expertise lies nutritional therapy, which involves tailoring dietary plans and implementing therapeutic diets to support gut health, reduce inflammation, and address specific nutritional deficiencies or imbalances. My deep knowledge of nutrient interactions, food sensitivities, and the gut-brain connection enables me to craft personalized meal plans that promote healing and overall well-being.
Complementing my nutritional expertise is my extensive knowledge of herbal medicine. I have a profound understanding of the medicinal properties of various herbs, their active compounds, and their specific applications in addressing digestive issues. From anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial herbs to those that support digestion and gut barrier function, I incorporate herbal remedies into all my treatment plans.
Food supplementation is another vital aspect of my expertise. I am well-versed in the therapeutic use of high-quality supplements, including probiotics, enzymes, and targeted nutrient formulations. This knowledge allows me to provide targeted nutritional support, replenishing deficiencies, and optimizing gut function through strategic supplementation.
Recognizing the profound impact of lifestyle factors on digestive health, I offer comprehensive lifestyle counseling. This involves guiding my patients through stress management techniques, sleep hygiene practices, and incorporating regular physical activity into their routines – all essential components for promoting gut healing and overall well-being.
Additionally, I expertise in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), a practice which enables me to address the mental and emotional aspects of digestive disorders. NLP technique can help patients reframe limiting beliefs and develop more positive mindsets, alongside providing a sense of inner peace and resilience during the healing journey.
Integrative Approach: By combining my knowledge of nutritional supplements, herbal remedies, and their applications, I can offer an integrative approach to treatment, addressing both the root causes and symptoms of digestive disorders.
I focus not only on treating the acute condition, but also on a preventive therapy, which not only aims to stabilize the digestive system and encourage recovery but also focuses on preventing complications and promoting long-term gut health.
Personal Development: Along with my 1:1 work with clients, I spent a lot of time doing more in-depth research and try to keep up to date with the latest developments in the field. I am very dedicated to ongoing professional development through attending conferences, workshops, seminars, and training programs related to digestive health, nutrition, herbal medicine, and other relevant areas. I always try to adapt and refine my approaches in order to provide the best possible care for my patients.
If you’re on Valery’s website reading this, consider yourself already on the road to healing. You have found a truly amazing Naturopath. I started working with Valery immediately after testing positive for SIBO last summer. For years I had suffered from bloating, acid reflux and trapped gas that would keep me up into the wee hours of the morning. A few months later, after following a protocol tailored to my diagnosis, I am SIBO-free and all of my symptoms are gone. At 44 years old, I can finally say I know how to properly take care of myself thanks to Valery and everything she has taught me during this process – from how to prepare certain foods for optimal nutrition to meal spacing to jumping on the rebounder for lymphatic drainage. If you have the privilege of working with Valery, know you are in good hands. Listen to what she says, follow her protocol to a tee and you will see results. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Valery treated me for several months for a SIBO problem. Valery has extensive knowledge and understanding in the field. A serious professional. The process is not simple and requires discipline and taking many supplements. Today I feel an improvement in my condition. I learned a lot from Valery about nutrition and the digestive system and I thank her wholeheartedly for that.
A few months ago, after years of unsuccessfully trying every treatment option, I had lost hope of ever finding a solution. However, from my very first meeting with Valery, she gave me faith that recovery was possible. With her expert guidance and unwavering support, I have achieved results beyond what I imagined. Thanks to Valerie, I now feel like a healthier, more self-aware person. I am deeply grateful for her knowledge and care. Valerie has been invaluable in helping me regain my health and wellbeing. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking healing. Thank you, Valery, for everything.
As an addition to my Naturopathic and Herbal medicine qualifications I am also a qualified NLP coach. The NLP technique brings a unique and powerful dimension to my multidisciplinary approach to addressing digestive issues. NLP is a Neuro-Linguistic Programming and it is a powerful methodology that explores the relationship between our thoughts, behaviors, and the language patterns we use to communicate with ourselves and others. As an NLP coach, I have developed a deep understanding of how our mindsets, beliefs, and internal dialogue can profoundly impact our physical and emotional well-being.
In the context of digestive disorders, which often have a significant psychological and emotional component, my NLP coaching skills become invaluable. Many patients struggle with negative thought patterns, limiting beliefs, or emotional blockages that can exacerbate or perpetuate their digestive issues. Through NLP techniques, I can help them identify and reframe these limiting beliefs, replacing them with more empowering and positive perspectives. One of the key principles of NLP is the idea that the language we use both internally and externally shapes our experiences and outcomes.
As an NLP coach, I can guide patients in becoming more aware of their language patterns and how they communicate about their condition. By shifting their language to more positive and solution-focused patterns, patients can cultivate a more hopeful and proactive mindset, which can positively impact their healing process.
Additionally, NLP coaching equips me with powerful tools for goal-setting and motivation. I can assist patients in clarifying their desired outcomes, breaking them down into achievable steps, and anchoring positive emotions and behaviors to support their progress. This can be particularly beneficial for patients who are embarking on significant lifestyle or dietary changes, as it provides them with a structured approach and reinforces their commitment to their healing journey.
Moreover, my NLP skills can help patients develop greater self-awareness and emotional intelligence, enabling them to better understand and manage the stress, anxiety, or emotional challenges that often accompany chronic digestive conditions. This self-awareness can empower patients to take control of their healing process and cultivate a deeper sense of resilience and self-compassion.
By integrating NLP coaching into my multidisciplinary approach, I offer a holistic treatment experience that addresses not only the physical aspects of digestive disorders but also the profound impact of mindset, beliefs, and emotional well-being on the healing process.
