About Lucie
My Journey to Holistic Healing
Welcome to Holistic Practice by Lucie. I’m Lucie Valdez, a certified Reiki practitioner, Bach Flower specialist, and mindfulness guide with over 15 years of experience working with individuals facing life’s challenges.
My path to holistic wellness began during my years as a social worker in the Czech Republic, where I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work. Working closely with families seeking to adopt or foster children, supporting elderly individuals, assisting children with special needs, and providing care for people with disabilities, I witnessed firsthand how emotional wellbeing profoundly impacts physical health.
Time and again, I observed that typical Western approaches sometimes left gaps in addressing the whole person. This realisation sparked my journey into holistic practices that consider the complete individual—mind, body, and spirit.
A Holistic Approach to Wellness
My background in social psychology, health care, and family therapy (with specialized training from the Institute of Virginia Satir) provides me with unique insights into human needs. Each person I’ve worked with has taught me something valuable about resilience and healing.
Today, I bring this wealth of experience to my holistic practice, offering:
- Reiki Healing: Energy work that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and supports the body’s natural healing processes
- Customized Bach Flower Remedies: Personalised flower essence blends addressing specific emotional states and imbalances
- Mindfulness Practices: Tailored sessions for both adults and children to cultivate presence, reduce anxiety, and build emotional resilience
My Philosophy
I believe true transformation happens when we address not just symptoms but underlying emotional and energetic imbalances. Having worked extensively with diverse populations—from children with ADHD to individuals requiring wheelchair assistance—I understand that each person’s healing journey is unique.
My approach is grounded in compassion, professional expertise, and a deep respect for each individual’s path. Whether you’re seeking relief from specific physical symptoms, looking to prevent illness, or working toward improved emotional wellbeing, I’m here to support your journey with personalised care.
I look forward to walking alongside you on your path to holistic wellness.
