Childhood Deconditioning
Childhood Deconditioning is a guided 10-session process that helps you transform the emotional imprints you carry from your childhood so they no longer shape your relationships, your life, or your parenting.
This work is for those who have already walked a path of self-inquiry. You may have done therapy, written in your journal, attended retreats, or tried other approaches, and yet something still feels heavy, shapeless, unresolved. You sense that not all of it truly belongs to you, and yet it is still living in you.
Together, we revisit the early relational imprints that shaped your nervous system, your sense of self, and the ways you learned to adapt in order to belong and survive.
What we call “personality” is often a form of adaptation. What we call “coping mechanisms” were once forms of intelligence, creative ways to survive. But over time, these strategies can become a cage.
This process gently reveals what your body, your nervous system, and your emotions had to carry, and what they are now ready to release.
This is not analysis, therapy, or coaching. It is not about reliving the past or blaming your parents. It is about coming into contact with what is still alive in you, and with the person you were before the world asked you to become someone else.
LINEAGE & TRAINING
I trained over several years with my teacher, Svarup, who spent decades facilitating this work within the Osho lineage. The approach draws on Primal work and was originally transmitted in retreat settings. Svarup developed a progressive one-on-one format to support deeper, sustained integration over time.
I completed this training directly and received her blessing to carry and transmit the work. I now guide this process as a living foundation, shaped by my own lived experience, years of client work, and unique skill set.
The container is established.
The way I hold and guide it is my own.

WHY WORK WITH ME
My approach is shaped by over twenty years of study and lived practice. I have studied and integrated Ayurveda, astrology, ritual work, Zen Buddhism, Ashtanga yoga, herbalism, dance, and somatic movement. I am also trained as an actress, which informs how I work with emotional expression, embodiment, and presence.
I bring all of this into the room in a grounded and practical way.
How I listen.
How I track the nervous system.
How I work with emotional truth beneath the story.
I have worked with hundreds of people in private practice, group spaces, retreats, and long-term containers, including extended Childhood Deconditioning processes.
ETHICS & THE WAY I HOLD THIS
I only guide processes I have personally undergone. This work is not theoretical for me. It is lived, embodied, and continuously integrated into my daily life.
We move at a pace the nervous system can actually metabolize. Depth matters here, and so does safety. The work unfolds with care, precision, and respect for your timing. In person, some sessions include light physical contact, always with consent and always optional. Online, the work is adapted.
“We welcomed the messy, the tender, and the downright gritty parts of growth. That’s where the real integration happened.”

You can explain your childhood perfectly, and it has changed nothing.
You’re self-aware, but struggle to feel deeply.
You only find out you’re angry when you explode.
You’re tired of performing and overgiving, but afraid to stop.
This work may be for you if…
You are in active crisis.
You’re looking for a parent figure rather than a facilitator.
You want a quick fix.
You’re not willing to feel.
You can’t commit to arriving sober at every session.
This work is not for you if…
How it works
The ten sessions move backward through your life, from the older child to infancy and the womb, then forward into integration.
mapping the landscape: where the adult, the child, and the conditioning stand, and a journey back into the house you grew up in.
the shoulds: every “you have to,” spoken and unspoken, and the part of you that became unacceptable.
essence & roles: who you were before any of this, and who you became instead.
sensuousness & release: a restorative session for pleasure, sensation, and what the body has been holding.
boundaries: built with your own hands, then rebuilt the way they should have been.
the father: a physical session to give back what was handed to you, and keep what was a gift.
the mother: the same shape, a different wound. Often less anger than resentment, which is heavier to move.
needs: the strategy you built for having needs in a house where they weren’t met.
the womb & the birth: a slow, breath-led session before language, and the birth you would have chosen.
integration: you meet the baby, the toddler, and the child you were. Compassion arrives here, once the feeling has been felt.
There is nothing to prove here.
Nothing to perform.
Your body leads.
It is such a gift to witness, identify patterns, and create new possibilities. My husband and I both did the process. It opened us in ways I didn’t expect. Valérie has a beautiful talent of creating and maintaining a connected, sacred space for authentic healing.

What years of therapy never touched. This process brought to light with clarity and compassion. Once I understood those hidden parts, the burden just lifted. The anger I had toward my parents faded away, replaced by a deep, compassionate understanding of myself and the forces that shaped me.

This gave me a new kind of freedom. The freedom to trust myself again. Most importantly, I've developed a conscious connection to my choices and feelings, along with a deep desire to nurture and care for my inner child.
