About Lane Valentine, LMT, CHC
Health and Wellness Specialist
While I treat a large range of concerns, I specialize in pain/tension management, headaches, joint dysfunction, stress management and healthy coping skills, work-life balance, physical and emotional trauma, and quality of life improvements.
​
I am a licensed massage therapist, a Reiki Master, a certified health coach, and have worked in the healthcare industry treating patients since 2015. As a provider, I have found that my clients have the greatest progress when they address their concerns from a holistic approach, rather than isolating their care solely to treat their symptoms. For example, treating physical pain with massage therapy holds great value, but addressing occupational and/or emotional stress that contributes to that physical pain holds greater value. With my varied therapeutic credentials, I can help identify the sources of symptoms while also treating the symptoms themselves. This leads to a greater likelihood of long-term progress.
My Story
Back in 2014, I enrolled in massage school after having a feeling in my gut that wouldn’t go away. I was pursuing a BA in Spanish Education at the time and, while I loved my program, it didn’t feel like it was where I was supposed to be. I eventually left university and entered a massage program days later. While the change was abrupt, I knew I had found what I was looking for within days. I graduated top of my class and went on to work for massage studios, chiropractic clinics, physical therapy companies, and naturopathic doctors. As my passion for health and wellness increased, my passion for education never went away, which lead me to add work as a massage instructor at Cortiva Institute -Seattle. Working with students to help them develop their massage and professional skills was a huge joy and ignited a desire for me to increase my own education further. I returned to school once more and graduated with a BAS in Health & Wellness, graduating with honors.
​
I am a firm believer that most of us accept less for ourselves than what we deserve, especially regarding our health and well-being. When we utilize therapies that help us and address underlying concerns, sometimes that we weren’t even aware of, we become healthier and better versions of ourselves. My goal is to help all my clients get to the life they want to live, whatever that may look like for them.
