Grow. Transform. Thrive.

Personalized and accessible Christian life coaching for personal growth, spiritual growth, and leadership development.

Feeling stuck or uninspired in your life or leadership?

Are you tired of living frustrated, overwhelmed, and stressed out? Do you feel like you’re creeping closer and closer to burnout yet somehow missing what matters most to you? I see you. And there’s a better way. I’m so glad you are here.

How does coaching work?

01. Let’s Talk

During a 20-minute discovery call, we can discuss what you need and whether or not coaching is a good fit. We’ll spend some time getting to know each other. You can ask any questions, as we determine best next steps together. And, bonus—It’s free!

02. Coaching Begins

Once we’ve committed to a coaching partnership, you’ll schedule your first session! Inside the coaching program, we’ll use a 3-step framework and strategies tailored specifically to you. The process is designed to bring awareness and clarity, create action, and result in transformational growth.

03. Growth Continues

A typical coaching partnership lasts anywhere from 3 - 12 months, and can continue as needed after that depending on your desired goals. Even if we address something very specific, the strategies you learn inside a coaching program will often translate to other areas of your life. You’ll finish feeling focused, equipped, and empowered.

Valerie specializes in emotionally healthy living and leading, spiritual growth, communication, and healthy work-life rhythms.
