Feel Calmer, Stronger, and More Connected to Yourself

Trauma-Informed Somatic Coaching and Circles in Columbus, Ohio

Do you ever feel stuck in cycles of stress, self-doubt, or patterns you can’t shake, no matter how hard you try?

You’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to stay this way.

Through body-based practices and trauma-informed coaching, I’ll help you:

  • Release old patterns and tension you’ve carried for years.

  • Reconnect with your intuition and stop second-guessing yourself.

  • Feel calmer, lighter, grounded, and confident in your decisions.

Whether you’re here for personalized 1:1 support, a healing circle, or movement practices, I’ll meet you where you are and help you take the next step toward the life you want.

What Makes My Work Different

Trauma-Informed, Holistic Support

For over 20 years, I’ve helped women and femmes resolve trauma, feel their feelings without overwhelm, and build confidence for the next chapter of their lives.

Whether we’re working through perfectionism, attachment wounds, or daily stress, every session is designed to support you at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

Personalized Care That Goes Beyond Talk Therapy


If you’ve tried therapy, self-help, or meditation apps but still feel stuck, my work is for you.


My somatic approach goes deeper—helping you release stress and process emotions so you can move forward. You’ll get real tools and support to uncover what’s keeping you stuck and create a path forward that feels aligned and doable.

Real Results You Can Feel


My clients often tell me they leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more in control of their lives. You’ll gain tools to:

  • Quiet your inner critic

  • Build confidence and trust in yourself.

  • Set boundaries that honor your needs.

  • Build healthier, more connected relationships.

Hey There, I’m Valerie!

Your Trauma-Informed Somatic Practitioner


I know what it’s like to feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world while trying to make everything work.

I see you. You’ve been juggling work, relationships, and your inner world—but it’s exhausting. You’re tired of the stress, the overthinking, and the constant pressure to do and be more. Deep down, you know something has to change—for you.

That’s where I come in.

Through somatic practices and Parts Work (IFS), I’ll help you move beyond intellectualizing your struggles and feel your feelings without them overwhelming you. Together, we’ll address the habits and patterns keeping you stuck and create a life where you feel confident, calm, and grounded—without having to do it all perfectly.

This isn’t about fixing you—it’s about helping you trust yourself again.
