I help women create a life of peace, balance and freedom 

 

As women, we try to do “all the things” – be the best employee, boss, mom, daughter, sister or partner.

 We expect our home to be decluttered, our meals to be delicious and nutritious, our loved ones to feel supported.

The Reality

How many of these apply to you?

  • You’re exhausted, without stamina

  • You feel guilty, disappointed and like you are failing at life

  • You're in a mental fog, not sure where to focus

  • Your relationships are stressful and not enjoyable

  • Your house is not a haven; it’s more like a battlefield

  • You feel like you aren’t fulfilling your potential in life and unsure of your purpose

Let’s replace your overwhelm with renewed energy and vision

Hi, I’m Valerie!

I am a mother, teacher, writer and certified life coach, with decades of experience discovering strategies to deal with my own struggles. My passion in life is to save you time and unnecessary suffering by sharing the shortcuts I have learned on my own journey of transformation. You are not alone! You CAN create the life you desire, a life filled with peace, balance, and freedom. Together we will get to the bottom of whatever obstacle is making you feel stuck. The tools and skills I teach are mind blowing in their simplicity and power.

 

The Adult Chair® Approach

If you aren’t sure what a healthy adult looks like, I can show you

When I discovered The Adult Chair® podcast, I had been struggling for years. Like many women, I was constantly trying to figure out who I was in terms of who others said I was or should be. I read books and looked to “experts” to figure out what I needed to change about myself to function better in the world. Therapy helped me get some perspective on my “problems,” but it didn’t provide clear guidance on what to do with that information. When I discovered The Adult Chair® model, I suddenly had simple, concrete solutions and strategies. For the first time in my life, I had a roadmap for what it means to be a healthy adult and how to get there.
