Testimonials from my clients

"Working with Valerie has been a life changing experience. She has the depth, knowledge and intuitive guidance needed to be a truly effective life coach. It is through being open and vulnerable with her that as a woman I have gained greater strength and courage in life and have begun to realize my fullest potential."

"Life coaching with Val was an incredibly rich experience for me. I had never had a life coach before and I was quite nervous to open up about my emotions at the beginning. Val helped me to dig deeper into what I was really feeling and she helped me to recognize the ways in which my thinking patterns were hindering my own growth. The most important thing I learned with Val was to recognize my values. Val helped me to understand and appreciate the important role my values play in my work and in my relationships. Val is a patient listener and a supportive coach."

"Valerie is a passionate coach, committed to holding space for clients to explore, reflect and envision new possibilities for themselves. Valerie used innovative coaching techniques to gently challenge me to take steps towards becoming my best self. As a coach, Valerie advocates for you and is always in your corner. Valerie coaches with a nurturing love and strong compassion that makes you feel safe discovering dark, unexplored places. With Valerie’s help I have been able to sit with vulnerability and use it to fuel my courage to take active steps into letting my most authentic self-shine. Valerie will help you uncover unknown possibilities for yourself. I highly recommend her as a coach to anybody who is looking to explore who they are and who they want to become."

"Once in a while you meet someone who has taken life’s challenges and surfaced with a rare wisdom and discernment. Val is one of these exceptional people, and her journey has brought her to a place of compassion and wisdom in guiding others through life’s transitions. I am fortunate enough to be one of the people she has coached. Thanks to Val’s support and relentless pursuit of my truth, I have begun to cross over from living the life I should be living, to creating the life I want. Going back to school as a fifty year old woman is out of my comfort zone, but having a great coach like Val to keep me on track with my goals makes it an amazing journey!"

"Hiring Valerie as my personal Life Coach was one of the best decisions I have made.  I say ‘one of’ because since then I have made some very sound decisions in regards to my professional and personal life.  I have big dreams and aspirations, and did not feel I had what it took to accomplish them.  Fear lead me to believe I was not capable of these great things.  Valerie enticed me to ask myself the tough questions, to get right down to the heart of my fear, and to recognize what was holding me back.  I am proud to say I am on my way to the life I dreamed of.  I would recommend Valerie to anyone needing direction in their lives, it is oh so worth it."

"Valerie co-led a workshop here at eBay as part of a team building week for our Leadership Program. We loved having her as part of our team. She brought her amazing skills as a coach, as well as her vast life experience which created an excellent foundation for our participants. Valerie is highly skilled at leading teams and individuals to a greater level of awareness of how they show up in their lives and in their professions. She is able to create a safe and trusting space for others to be vulnerable and to feel supported in getting out of their comfort zone. She is a person of integrity and compassion, and we are thrilled to have her involvement in our program."
