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
