HI! I'm Valerie, and I can't wait to help you create your dream life. I have been an ICF-certified career and life coach since March 2019. I have worked with over 20 clients on personal relationships, health and wellness, and their career aspirations. I follow and teach the mindset that seeking clarity about our true desires, and staying present along the way, helps us find joy in our lives as we map out a path toward those desires. I have typically worked with corporate interns and new grads or those earlier in their career, as that is when I discovered coaching and how invaluable it was during such a transformative time in my life, but believe I can be a resource for anyone looking to make a change toward positive growth and connecting with their most authentic self.
Over the last few years, I have honed in my style to lean toward mindfulness coaching, as I resonated with that practice throughout my own personal mental and emotional health challenges. In February of this year, I began a Health Coaching certification through the American Council on Exercise (ACE), as I am passionate about fitness and nutrition and helping others understand what works for them, and that these things don't have to be complicated. I expect to finish that certification by the end of the 2024 calendar year, and then look forward to officially adding this to my repertoire of offerings. However, I am self-taught in this field and welcome the opportunity to work with current clients on any health or wellness topic.
