She is certified to lead Intro to Gongs for meditation and healing and guides Yoga Nidra practices and meditation. She leads individuals and groups in matching their breath to movement and developing consciousness. Valerie is a believer in showing up for each session with no expectation, meeting and welcoming yourself exactly as you are in that moment. Her mantra is, “Each one of us is so much more than our thoughts,” a saying that guides her practice. She believes that in stillness and quiet, we find our true selves. We are here to learn the beauty and love within each of us and share it with the collective. Valerie is an enthusiastic vegan who loves bold flavors, and she is motivated by compassion and kindness. Valerie is passionate about helping others bridge the gap between a world of space and time where we use our senses to navigate, and the world of higher consciousness which is seated in the depth of our soul.
