Everyone was heard, and I was surprised by how much I resonated with other women’s experiences, even those from completely different walks of life. It was eye-opening and reassuring to feel that connection and validation. This space gave me permission to be proud of myself and celebrate each other without judgment. I felt like I’d found ‘my people’ and a truly progressive space for growth."

  • Somatic Moon Circle

    "The workshop with Valerie was life-changing! I planned to be more of a 'spectator,' but Valerie’s presence and insight drew me out, helping me identify the mind/body connection that was keeping me from peace. I now understand how self-care and prioritizing myself make me a better support for others, and I finally have the tools to clear my mind and body. I highly recommend this experience for anyone who struggles to put themselves first."
