Bio
LinkedIn User
Valerie is a gifted leader and group facilitator who is able to rapidly bring a sense of safety and belonging to diverse groups of people. Imagery, music, and personal story deepen her teaching and help personally engage her students. I recommend Valerie’s online retreats as a way to get away without going away. I encourage you to make use of this valuable resource in our world community of healers and spiritual, intuitive leaders.
Viv Hawkins
I've been blessed to be taught yoga by Valerie during a New Year's retreat weekend and to have her facilitate program on the Quaker clearness process, as taught by her and Parker Palmer. In both cases, Valerie's deep spiritual grounding undergirded her extraordinary subject-matter expertise. Complemented by her skillful facilitation, uncommon respect for others, and warm, generous soul, everyone involved was wonderfully served. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking her services or participating in her pilgirmages.
