"Five months ago I had made a decision to leave my husband.

I was seized up with FEAR! Fear to take the steps I needed to move forward with my life and not remain STUCK!!! I was miserable and desperate to find a way through my misery to a better life. I just didn’t know exactly how to do this.

And then I found Val! I connected immediately with Val’s posts on IG, TT and FB, and loved her authentic insight. I just had this feeling that she would be able to guide me through my challenges. And I was right!

WOMEN RISING!!!!! I saw Val explaining this program over and over and I’m sure I thought of every excuse not to do it. I was certainly not in a position to spend any money at all.

How could I participate in a program like this in the midst of what had become a contentious divorce? I was emotionally drained, I was consumed with fear, resentment, anger, anxiety and exhaustion. I was in a state of hyper vigilance, of dysregulated emotions. I was suffering and wanted change. I needed help. I needed guidance. My thoughts kept returning to the Women Rising program that was about to begin. I dreamed of where I could be in just three short months. I took the plunge, I signed up! Best decision I ever made!!!!!"

"Valerie brings her whole self to her work and always over delivers. She has a wealth of experience and is very generous. She offers tangible and practical strategies and guides you through step by step. Her process is incredible! She is fully IN - totally committed to her clients and makes herself available throughout the program should you feel stuck or need clarity. I learned where I was stuck and the tools I needed to move me to the next level!!! I gained way more clarity and am now applying what I learned on a daily basis. I was surprised how quickly things started to shift for me."

"Valerie’s Coaching has become invaluable to me in the past year. I will continue to work with her guiding me in my planned (and now begun) future endeavours. She is my modern day Shaman. Her work’s value far surpasses, for me, what I expected and I know this will stay with me for the years ahead."

"I’ve literally learned how to be the leader of my own life. I found such value in her very open, honest, and intuitive approach. Many breakthrough experiences left me in awe at times. Valerie was and still is a life coach of mine but now our bond is deeper than that. Valerie is a lifetime friend!"

"I so appreciate your honest sharing and your ability to be vulnerable. I believe it’s what drew me to you in the first palace, because I WANT that. Working closely with you these last 6 months has changed my life in ways unimaginable to me. Thank you for showing us it’s ok."

"Working with you has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Val you are so very special."

"Val is special. An intuitive, strong, clear and compassionate human. She was able to tap in to exactly where I was at and then coach me to a place of understanding and deep reflection. She helped me find the path I needed to be on to feel free, empowered, settled and confident.

One of the greatest gifts I received from WOMEN RISING, this beautiful community of women who struggle like I struggle, was the gift of SAFETY. I felt safe enough to share my deepest pain, and in turn, I got the help I so desperately needed."

"With Val’s coaching, strategies, compassion and love, I’ve leveled up and I’m feeling excited and empowered as I journey toward my new life!!

So much gratitude for you Val 🙏🏻 🥰 "

"Val appeared on my feed with a message that was so poignant it felt as if she was speaking directly to me. I was at a crossroads in life and desperate for clarity and the strength to rise to the challenges I was facing. I felt scared and alone. I took a deep dive into her content and learned that she was days away from launching a 12 week women’s empowerment program. I researched the program and it was exactly what I needed at the exact time I needed. It truly felt like Divine timing and reminded me of a quote, “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.”

I joined the Women Rising 12 week course with several women, from all walks of life, from all around the world. The weekly modules and exercises were deep and thought provoking, designed to truly dig-in to our thoughts, behaviors, actions and reactions. I’m not going to lie… it was messy and often uncomfortable in the beginning. But it was necessary and part of the process.

Val often took a no nonsense approach during our weekly live zoom sessions and was able to help us identify our limiting self-beliefs and narratives/behaviors that were no longer serving us. She had the unique ability to get us to the root of the matter by simply asking questions and allowing us to come to our own conclusions based on the actual, factual truth. She was able to lead each of us to our own personal truths, which was different for all of us. She held us accountable and was quick to call BS with love and compassion. She provided us with tools and techniques to help us identify and analyze our situations and go beyond our feelings. She not only empowered us to trust ourselves, she gave us a blueprint to reinvent ourselves.

Every week I gained valuable insights and information and witnessed amazing transformations in myself and others. I’m so glad I found Val when I did and was able to participate in the program. I'm beyond grateful for access to the modules and exercises to revisit in my own time to continue my journey of self-love and empowerment. Plus, I connected with some amazing women along the way."
