The Wounded Healer Valentia Valentine
Valentia Valentine is a highly successful and accomplished professional in Carmel, California. She began her career in the commercial real estate industry where she served businesses throughout the Central Valley for over 25 years. But she speaks with The Canna Mom Show as the founder of Synchronicity Holistic, a state-of-the-art cannabis wellness center dedicated to patient care for both the adult and medical use.
Her cannabis journey began in 1989, after suffering from symptoms that her doctor first thought could be a brain tumor, but turned out to be Multiple Sclerosis. That diagnoses forever changed her life. It was a devastating moment for a mother and career professional, but Valentia refused to be a victim of the disabling disease and began to learn as much as she could about MS. From treatments to protocols; from traditional Western medicine to Chinese herbal medicines, Eastern philosophies as well as mind and body practices. As a result of her studies she became a self-taught expert and holistic health advocate. Her efforts focused on ways to minimize MS symptoms.
Although she had learned a great deal about traditional Eastern and Western medical treatments, she describes her experience with medical cannabis as nothing short of remarkable. The results were significant. Valentia had less pain. Her inflammation was more manageable. She slept. But most excitingly her mobility was significantly improved.
Valentia Valentine’s success has always come by helping others, and she has been focused on changing the public perception of medical cannabis. She has also spent a lifetime giving back and has become synonymous with philanthropy on the Monterey Peninsula. When not saving the world or running her businesses, Valentia is enjoying life with her large and wonderful family.
