Life Coach for Women Seeking To Reignite Their Spark in Work, Life, and Leadership
It's time to reclaim your shine!
Start taking purposeful action that lights you up, without burning you out.
If you know it's time for a shift but you're feeling stuck - you're not alone!
Maybe you're...
💜Questioning if the path you've been on still fits who you are now.
💜Worrying about how the changes you want to make will impact the people you love.
💜Noticing habits that don't align with the life you want but not sure how to change them.
💜Feeling stressed out, overwhelmed, or just tired of trying to figure it all out by yourself.
If that sounds familiar and you're looking for someone to help you focus your energy, follow through on your goals, and show up powerfully in your work and life - without burning out - You're in the right place!
Hey there! I'm Valerie.
I help compassionate, high-achieving women reconnect with themselves, align with their values, and create meaningful success on their own terms.
Based in Chicago and supporting clients world-wide, I bring over 20 years of experience in personal and professional development including as a Professional Certified Coach (ICF), Energy Leadership Master Practitioner, trained mediator, and Somatic Attachment Coach.
Like you, I know the desire to be a calm, self-confident, and purposeful leader at work, at home, and everywhere in between. And I get how easy it is to lose track of what truly fits you under the weight of showing up for everyone else.
I'm here to be a steady, grounded partner to help you unlock the patterns keeping you stuck, identify and take practical steps forward, and reconnect with what fits you in this phase of your life.
You deserve to feel clear, steady, and whole, so you can shine in a way that energizes you and the people around you.
Trauma-aware, system-conscious, and neurodivergent-affirming coaching that meets you where you are.
I support clients in various areas including purpose, habits, motivation, time management, stress reduction, impostor syndrome, organization, productivity, work/life balance, focus, communication, boundaries, and more - always tailored to your real life.
Life coaching with me honors your lived experiences, acknowledges where you are now, and helps you:
💜Relearn to hear and trust your intuition
💜Deprogram internalized stories keeping you stuck
💜Realign with your authentic way of living life
💜Cultivate a graceful resilience for when life happens
Working together you'll create both mindset shifts and practical steps to take confident action toward your goals – without sacrificing what's really important to you.
"Valerie helps me pay attention to the things I love and care about and more easily navigate the obstacles. I know what she does is science, but it feels like magic. The return on my mental freedom from working with her has helped my business, my life, and the balance between the two. I can make room for and pursue my passions thanks to the clarity I’ve gotten from our calls."
– Charlena S. (business owner & mom)
"I've been able to create aligned goals and reach them, design the life I want and enjoy it, and give myself the grace I've needed to give myself for decades. The work I've done with Valerie has made me a more confident business owner, a more patient mom, and a more present wife. Our work helped me grow my business while cutting my work time in half."
- Tara B. (copywriter & mom)
"As I started to work on creating my business, Valerie helped me lay out the roadblocks and goals for me personally. She did not give me "here's what I would do" advice. Instead, she helped me find the right answers for ME to feel good about my own choices. I have learned so much about myself and how to tackle goals in my own unique way. I cannot recommend her enough!!!"
- Tiana K. (business owner & mom)
You CAN have the fulfilling, purposeful, and joyful life you want without burning yourself out to get there (even in the midst of uncertainty).
What to expect on an exploration call
I typically meet with life coaching clients via Zoom or phone, depending on coaching package and preference.
