I was gifted with a painting by Valerie from a dear friend and healer, Kim Pentecost. We decided to put this in my office which is in my healing room. Since that time I have noticed that my eyes are drawn to that painting when I am feeling at ease and satisfied with how my practice is doing that day. It gives me great satisfaction to know that I have a painting created by a visual healer helping me hold space in my own healing environment for others. I know it grounds a certain sense of space and security for my intention for people to feel safe to let go and heal in my space for them. Thank you, Valerie, for what you do

I wouldn’t have thought a painting could have such a significant impact on my life. Since receiving my painting from Valerie, within a week or two I noticed things starting to change. One of my big issues in life was worrying about pretty much everything. After receiving the painting I suddenly didn’t feel the need to worry anymore and have become much more relaxed and just go with the flow and believe it will all work out like it’s supposed to. Thank you, Valerie.

Valerie had made me a painting and surprised me with it when I went over her house for a meeting. To try and explain the emotions that came over me will be tough to put into words but I will try. I'd seen she had a painting in her hand but did not know it was for me. As she turned it around to show me I felt a rush of emotional energy engulf me. It was so beautiful to me that I could not stand and had to kneel down. I knew it was for me. I knew it had a purpose in my life. Tears running down my face I thanked her. It feels so good to be around my painting. I hung it in my massage studio so I can share my peacefulness with my clients.

You are able to sense and understand the root of someone's "problem" before they are even able to see it. You don't come right out and tell them what it is. You turn on lights for them to come into understanding.

The only thing I seem to accomplish with any permanence or consistency is, further destroying my health and body. During these twenty eight years of a painful, debilitating condition I’ve had to adjust-down all my dreams as well as the degree to which I could offer a purpose. Letting go of what could be and learning to be satisfied by a much smaller scope of life fulfillment, for example, something like rescuing an insect in a puddle of water may be the highlight of my day. Just getting through life is genuinely a heroic feat. And then - there was Valerie.

Like the equivalent of being unlocked, I knew within minutes of our first conversation that I had been given access to a new life experience and a brilliant wonder. It’s almost like speaking to your inner voice through its friend or translator; it is very hard to describe but you will know it too. Even prior to speaking, she is all-in, completely present and connected, with responses that are elevated, grounded and smart - so smart. It’s easy to realize her passion for research, life, possibilities, connection and service and so much more, have cultivated a very deep and wise well of intelligence.

I feel like I could never come up with such brilliant replies, yet she assures me she is teaching me to do so. On that note, I’ve been told by other coaches that they are teaching me to be self-reliant, but they do so by tossing the questions back to me, like “what has worked in the past in similar situations,” and other repetitive prompts that are indeed useful and there to arm me for asking of myself in the future - but this is different. This is Valerie suggesting with assurance what will help lead me back to a purer, more elevated me, for the true essence of self-reliance. The “higher-self” reliance, wherein I expand on and regain my connection to providing for myself the types of responses and suggestions I receive from Valerie in a session. We are working together to build a bridge to my higher self.

Working with Valerie has given me a glimpse of what it’s like to live in the space that I experience when I’m connected to nature or my art. What has changed most? I feel like I have a partner, a bird on my shoulder. In a way I run things by her in my mind all the time as a connection to what is most real.

For me, of most impact has been her energy work. When she works on me, it’s like opening a window and leaning my face out into the open air of another reality. One that sees pain as something that is becoming a thing of the past, feeling more grounded and knowing to myself, “this must be what it’s like” to be without all that. A feeling of peace in my body and a tangible sense that my heart has been purified, sleeping better and a feeling of physical comfort and being more solid in my own structure. The early sessions with the energy work were my only knowing of what life could have been, or could be for me. During that time, I felt like I had a chance at life. That I could actually be a real person, and live without interruption within my beautifully creative intentions.

This letter is to recommend Valerie Herald for helping me thru a critical time in my life. She helped me find my voice and learn how to ask for what I deserve from others and myself. We worked together for 6 months and the experience was life changing. I cannot express how thankful I am to her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone going thru a major life change.
