About Lane Valentine, LMT, CHC
Health and Wellness Specialist
I am a licensed massage therapist (LMT), a Reiki Master, and a certified health coach (CHC), having worked in the healthcare industry treating patients since 2015. In 2022, I completed a BAS in Health Promotion and Education, graduating with honors.
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.
​
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 led me to work as an instructor at Washington Spa Academy in Bellevue, WA, where I currently teach massage and Reiki. In addition to teaching student therapists and practitioners, I also teach continuing education courses and assist with curriculum and development.
​
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.
