I had gone through divorce, painful friend breakups, uprooted my life from my hometown, sold my home and moved to a new city where I didn't know anyone. I was dealing with shame & guilt around relationships, fear and worry about finances, and loneliness from being in a new city. I had lost myself, my spark, and any real sense of self-worth.
I expected to heal the hurts that I could see at the time when I started working with Valerie but what I didn't expect was that I'd regain the dream life I wanted when I was a child. So, I'd say to anyone considering working with Val, you absolutely positively deserve to feel better, and not only better, but better than you can fathom is possible for you - and I can tell you from experience, Val is the best person to get you there.
I've always been a spiritual person and knew I had thoughts and beliefs about myself that were not helpful, but I wasn't able to eradicate on my own using things like journaling and meditation. I wanted to achieve happiness again - I wanted to get back to the true version of myself that knew she was valuable, the girl who was cool, calm, and collected but fun to be around.
We worked together for about a year, doing sessions monthly. We really worked on my feelings of shame & guilt and helped me stop punishing myself for past mistakes. Self-worth in general was the main focus.
I now work in professional sports (a childhood dream that I truly didn't think I'd live out), I'm financially independent, living in a beautiful home with my sweet pup Bandit. My friendships are stronger than ever and I'm closer to my family. I've started a side business and I'm investing in my future.
Seeing the behavior shifts happening in real time. We would have a breakthrough during sessions but then weeks or months later I'd notice that I'd react differently (in a healthier way) to something that would have made me spiral previously. That's the magic of EFT - it's doing the work for you behind the scenes in your subconscious and Val gives you the tools you need outside of sessions to strengthen your improvements.
Working with Valerie has propelled my life forward in so many ways; expected & unexpected. Having worked with Valerie, I feel like an entirely renewed person but also like myself again. Valerie creates this warm, safe, environment that allowed me to break through things I didn’t even know were holding me back. It’s truly been a life-changing and life-giving experience. My business has quite literally exploded, I suddenly started finding myself moving in the direction of things I’ve wanted for so long, that I was previously held back from for invisible reasons to me at the time. My personal peace with myself, feeling empowered & grounded in who I am, and my increased capacity for joy are just some of the most valuable and priceless gifts Valerie has given me. I have recommended Valerie to so many people close to my heart & my hope is that anyone who needs to feel loved, validated, empowered, safe, and proud of themselves finds a way to work with Valerie.
