Hello, I'm Valerie
After the birth of my son, I struggled with anxiety and later developed Melanoma. This shook me to my core - knowing I needed to make some changes, I embarked on a spiritual journey to help my body heal. I attended school for health coaching taking courses in mindfulness, meditation, heart centered body work and more. As I began to discover my potential to heal, I hungered to gain the knowledge to help others.As a holistic health coach and Reiki practitioner, I teach you to take the power back into your hands. I will personally guide you to making simple health-promoting adjustments that produce real and lasting results.
I am here on this earth to empower women who are struggling with anxiety and overwhelmed with emotions. I created a specialized program using Reiki, Hypnotherapy and other holistic and clinical modalities to equip you with tools on your journey of healing. You have the power within to heal, I am here to guide you on that journey.
My Background
I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition where I learned innovative coaching methods, practical lifestyle management techniques, and over 100 dietary theories – Ayurveda, Gluten-Free, Paleo, Raw, Vegan, Macrobiotics, and everything in between.
My education has equipped me with extensive, cutting-edge knowledge in holistic nutrition, health coaching, and prevention. Drawing on my expertise, I work with my clients to help make lifestyle adjustments and choose health-promoting ways that produce real and lasting results. You will develop a deeper understanding of food and lifestyle choices that work best for you, improving your energy, balance, health, and happiness.
