Your well-being is effected by both your inner life (e.g. mind, emotions, body, soul) and your outer life (e.g. relationships, energy awareness, work or vocation).
Because of this, holistic coaching views each person through the lens of the whole, which includes both these inner and outer spheres of being. You can really only feel an enduring sense of wholeness inside when each of these areas are in alignment and balance with one another.
Valerie offers a variety of coaching services including:
- Holistic Life Coaching, for those who want skills and support for WHOLE person wellness
- Spiritual Life Coaching, for those who want support and skills to improve their well-being, but within the context of their own faith and belief system
- Soul Work, for those who wish to connect (or more often!) to the higher self most call "soul"
- Near-Death (NDE) and Spiritual Experiencer Support, for those individuals who need specialized help and validation
- Experiencer Support Groups - contact Valerie if you would like to schedule a group at your place of worship
- Energy and Quantum Psychology, for professional practitioners and laypersons who want to explore the implications of quantum physics/biology on experiences in consciousness and daily life
- Self-Help Book
- Coaching Packages
- Speaking & Workshops

How Love Heals, Part II
Love is the cyclic movement we call the inbreath and outbreath of God. Divine Love breathes out creation as the force of involution. As the force of evolution, Love breathes in, and gathers the many into the One. Through Love we are born. Through Love we heal. (to be continued in part III…)
How Love Heals
Love is the primary energy through which matter, our familiar dense and physical form, is constructed. Pure energy that is Spirit inter-courses, weaving form out of formlessness, falling back and forth upon itself, One Thread becoming the many-threaded material of our physical existence. The process, we call Love. The sound, a multi-verse of exploding life birthing from…

Giving Thanks
I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday. I know I did. I’m very grateful for having had the opportunity to spend it in the mountains with my loving husband.

Who Am “I”?
I am a drop of consciousness emerging from an ocean of consciousness. And yet I am the ocean of consciousness from which my atoms and cells themselves emerge as individualized drops of consciousness. Drops within drops within drops, I am an infinite array of consciousness. Hologram within hologram within hologram, I am conscious being, life…
