Denise Valdes

Denise is a graduate of the Massage Therapy and Bodywork program at The Academy of Natural Health Sciences, Woodbridge NJ.  She aslo has a BA in English Literature and studied for an MBA with a concentration in Marketing at Colorado Technical University Online.  In 2013 she left her corporate sales career as a Director of Sales in the hospitality industry behind to pursue a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.  "I loved sales and marketing, but the long hours and competitive lifestyle take their toll after a while.  I wanted to look back on my life and know that I lived a healthy, full life and left a positive imprint on the lives of others.  I was blessed to stand at a crossroads and have the opportunity to move in the direction of the holistic health field.  I am a Reiki Practitioner and have always loved to help people heal themselves.  I am happy to finally be in a field where I can dedicate my time towards helping others.  Adding Massage Therapy to my practice was just a natural fit."
