Elemental Self-Care

A workshop series for women and vulva owners searching for more ease, alignment, and embodiement.

Explore embodied self-care through the elements!

What would it feel like to feel totally secure in your sense of self?

To feel more confident and clearer in your boundaries, wants, needs, and the path forward.

Feeling more centered and peaceful, experiencing ease and deep regulation of your emotions.

Finding it easier to connect with others, be vulnerable, and receive more love from yourself.

What would it feel like to experience all that while also reducing anxiety, stress, pain, and fatigue so you have the energy to enjoy life more fully?

What You Desire is possible!

I’ve spent the last 20+ years supporting women and vulva owners just like you to embrace their authentic selves, create confidence, and live more in their bodies with more peace and ease.

As a neurospicy woman with CPTSD who’s overcome massive trauma and now experiences self-love, joy, presence, happiness, and success on my terms I can say with certainty that everything you desire is possible.

My mission is to help you reconnect with yourself in a more grounded, holistic, and empowered way that embraces your authenticity and aligns with the organic flow of nature.

We gain so much insight from nature and develop a path forward that clears confusion and quiets the noise of others’ opinions and expectations.

Each element teaches us lessons we can apply to caring for ourselves and connecting to the outside world.

Each workshop within this series is designed to help you embody the elements and utilize their teachings to create a more centered and present life.

Testimonials

  • “In my experience with therapy, I was stuck in a loop of self-intellectualizing and figuring out the past to fix myself in the present/future whereas working with you we worked on self-understanding/acceptance to acknowledge current behavior and make educated and mindful decisions in moving forward in the present moment with love. Even having access to chat throughout the week, these were mainly used to share celebrations of witnessing my self-regulation or to reach out when I truly felt stuck in the next steps—which was always met with questions to spark connecting to my own intuition and inner guidance. Therapy was a great first step in surface-level understanding, but working with you got me to a place where I can look to myself and listen to my mind & body to be present and take care of myself in the here & now. 💜 Perpetually grateful for you & the accomplishments made while working with you.”

    Mariah

  • “I have attended several workshops with Valerie and I always learn something valuable. It really resonated in this workshop when we talked about how self-care is so often depicted as a solo activity, rather than something we can also do communally. Valerie organizes the workshops to allow for a great balance of internal reflection and communal sharing, inspiring us to practice not only self-regulation but co-regulation with others. She also creates an experience that speaks to the senses and balances the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. I love the journaling, meditation, sharing, and most of all the sensual movement that helps move the experience through the body!”

    Joely, Clinical Social Worker and Trauma Therapist

  • “I met with my coach, Valerie, this week when I felt the smallest and weakest I'd felt in a while. This powerful witch knew exactly what to do with me. She had the pussified RX. She was ready with a playlist and she held space while I unraveled my own shit, my ancestor’s shit, generations past. She called in my dad’s spirit and his ancestors. Suddenly I felt so supported. I felt so guided. I felt so loved up on. The weight on my chest cracked open as I moved through the depths of the much. Valerie holds such powerful space for her clients to truly surrender to their highest selves. I am so grateful.”

    Sara

  • “It’s such a safe and supportive space where everyone gets to be heard without anyone monopolizing their experiences. It was relaxed with enough structure to have focus & keep moving without feeling rushed. I am surprised that all of the women from different walks of life talked about feeling inadequate or not doing enough. it was so eye-opening & sadly reassuring too. Being in a safe space to discuss this & compliment others without judgment feels progressive & like 'my people'. I also love starting off with something we were proud of was such a nice level set.”

    Betsy

  • "The Reclaim You Workshop was life changing! The very talented Valerie had the most amazing way of connecting with us in a safe and comfortable environment. I planned to be more of a "spectator" than an "open participant" but that quickly changed once Valerie began the seminar. With Valerie's help, I was able to finally put my finger on the mind/body connection that has been stopping me from reaching peace. Self-care and prioritization were all something I didn't feel I deserved or had true added benefits. Now I understand how much more I can give to those around me by taking care of myself first. Whether it's lingering trauma or self-doubt, I finally have the tools and hope to clear my mind/body which will allow me to move forward in a fresh new way! I highly recommend this to anyone that allows the world to distract them from themselves! "

    Workshop Participant

  • “Valerie has been so incredibly helpful to me over the last couple of years. Her coaching style is direct and no-nonsense, and her guidance is always spot-on. She has helped me understand my relationship with my elders and how generational trauma affects that relationship, and how my own experiences growing up affect me today. With her help, I’ve been able to unpack a lot of things I’ve carried for decades and start to unwind their effects on my present life. I have a far better relationship with my mom these days because I learned to understand how her upbringing and mine were intertwined. I appreciate having a coach who is both kind and unwilling to mince words in her approach, and Valerie is amazing at finding that perfect mix to be a comfort but also make you really see what you need to see.”

My Methodology

Somatic Experiencing

We know from tons of research that the body holds unresolved emotions and traumas.

Your organs and brain are connected and when there are unprocessed emotions those organs keep sending alerts to your brain that you’re in danger.

Over time that throws your hormones out of balance creating physical illness and dysregulation.

That leads to things like gut issues, chronic pain/fatigue, menstrual health issues, autoimmune issues, struggles managing anxiety, ADHD, and AuDHD meaning you fluctuate between spiraling, shut down, and meltdowns when overstimulated.

Talk therapy focuses on a top-down approach to intellectually understand why you are the way you are, but it doesn’t help resolve these issues, somatics does!

Somatic Experiencing is an umbrella term for methods that work to bring awareness to what you feel within your body as it relates to your patterns to then release the impact of those patterns.

Our brain’s only job is to keep us alive so the idea of changing our beliefs and patterns scares the hell out of it.

This is why somatic experiencing is so effective for the neurospicy mind.

It rewires our neuropathways through the nervous system, so our brain allows us to shift the beliefs associated with our patterns.

That means it becomes possible to make changes in your life.

Creating new patterns and beliefs that allow you to have everything you desire feels safe and pleasurable.

Parts Work

A lot of us experience the frustration of noticing ourselves repeating particular patterns and feeling like a part of us is resistant to change.

This happens because nearly 80% of our patterns and beliefs about ourselves come from our formative years which means those beliefs are still subconsciously running the show.

Parts work aka IFS Therapy helps unburden those younger parts of us that learned to feel unworthy, not good enough, fear rejection and failure, etc. by helping them receive the love, safety, and acceptance they always desired.

That unburdening process helps ease the inner critic voice that holds us back and sabotages our success allowing us to integrate these parts of us in a loving, compassionate way.

Once we’re able to do that we can connect with the empowered parts of ourselves that have big dreams and the wisdom to make them a reality.

This entire method is designed to be a gentle process and it’s becoming gaining a lot of momentum in the trauma-healing world due to its effectiveness.

My unique method of Parts Work also infuses Sensorimotor Processing.

Because the body holds a blueprint of our wounds these parts often show up as a body sensation and can impact the health of our bodies as well as create pain.

We can use those sensations to connect with the parts while alleviating pain and discomfort.

Then we use movement exercises and grounding practices associated with our empowered selves to rewire how the nervous system responds to our desires and goals making it possible to transform your life!

Earth & Elemental Magic

What if I told you that reclaiming your inner witch—the wild, untamed aspect of yourself is the key to unlocking your true potential?

Think about it—how much were you taught about working with your hormones and embracing the natural cycles of your body?

Chances are, not much. And the sad truth is, we're still not having these conversations because we're too scared to talk about pleasure or what's natural and normal to experience throughout our menstrual cycles, as we age, or during times of stress and change.

The women who were healers, herbalists, and midwives in their villages carried centuries of wisdom in their bones. But sadly, these wise women were silenced to promote the idea that the leaders of the church knew better.

As a result, we were taught to turn away from the natural world that helped us maintain our health and well-being.

What if we embraced a more holistic approach—one that normalizes our experiences and addresses the root causes of issues like PCOS, Endometriosis, Vaginismus, chronic pain, and autoimmune issues along with all the stress and anxiety we deal with?

We develop more confidence and self-trust which allows us to stop living for others and start living for ourselves.

Imagine feeling so good inside and out that you can confidently talk to anyone, do anything, and be anything you want to be.

The lunar cycles, seasons, and elements are all mimicked within our bodies and when we start realigning with nature massive healing is possible.
