With over two decades of experience in empowering teams and driving innovative business ventures, she has dedicated her life to helping others find purpose and fulfillment. Valerie’s work is grounded in her belief that every person has the potential to live authentically when supported in shedding the layers of pain, shame, guilt, and societal conditioning that obscure their true essence.
Her passion for travel and cultural exploration has been a cornerstone of her personal and professional journey. Valerie believes that immersing oneself in diverse environments not only broadens perspectives but also fosters healing and self-discovery. She has developed an appreciation for the power of stepping outside comfort zones and connecting with new ways of living and being.
After her own transformative journey of overcoming burnout, Valerie embraced healing practices that reignited her spirit and aligned her life with her soul’s purpose. She now channels her experience as a certified Reiki practitioner, Human Design reader, trauma-informed coach, and co-founder of Renewed Spirit Adventures to empower women to reconnect with their inner power, uncover their true potential, and live boldly in alignment with their highest selves.
Through retreats, workshops, and custom coaching, Valerie blends her passion for wellness, spirituality, travel, and community with her extensive expertise.
