Rebecca McKee
Having been fascinated with human behavior and relationships her entire life, Becki went on to obtain her Bachelor’s degree in Social work at the University of British Columbia in Kelowna, BC. From there she went on to work in the non-profit sector, focusing mainly on work with at risk youth. After years of providing counseling and talk therapy, she realized that there was an element missing in her practice. After her own personal struggles she became enamored with “alternative” therapies and discovered Brainwave Optimization, which she believes to be one of the missing links in traditional therapy. She has very much enjoyed being part of the amazing team at Valentus Clinics and helping many people over the last 4 years, and is looking forward to creating a charity where folks who need it can access the remarkable powers of alternative therapies.
