About the Workshop

When I first started developing this course, I was struck by how often the same theme surfaced in conversations with my students, my patients, and even myself:  The struggle for self-compassion. We’re told to be kind to ourselves when we 'f*** up.' But the problem is - the focus remains on the failure. What if the goal wasn't to recover from mistakes...but to relate to yourself differently from the start? A Shift in How You Experience Yourself~ When we fuel self-compassion with authentic self-love, life shifts from a series of 'recoveries' to a journey of discovery.  We stop needing to soothe ourselves after mistakes and start seeing those moments as essential data.  Every perceived “failure” becomes: → new information → a clearer understanding → a more honest relationship with yourself   What You'll Experience in This Workshop~ During our time together, we will dive into using the 5 Love Languages as a lens for self discovery, but not in the way you've heard before. This is about: *discovering your version of each love language *learning how to apply it inward, not just toward others *building a way of relating to yourself that actually feels natural We will also introduce a simple awareness of balance (inspired by yin and yang) to help you: ✓ recognize your internal patterns ✓ respond instead of react ✓ soften the voice of self-judgment The Real Outcome~  This workshop is about trading the weight of shame for the energy of growth. Moving forward not because you've 'fixed' yourself, but because you've finally learned what truly fuels you. TELEGRAM INTEGRATION~ This isn’t just a one-time experience. After the workshop, you will have direct access to me via Telegram (free private messaging app) until May 5th to support a deeper integration of what you’ve learned. Because insight is powerful, but integration is what actually creates change.

About Valerie

I am a women’s wellness mentor and acupuncturist with 29 years of experience rooted in Chinese medicine. Today, my work focuses on women entering their "crone era"—those ready to trade the hustle for a second half of life defined by clarity, meaning, and embodiment. My "signature process" is that there isn't one.  I don't believe in rigid frameworks; instead, I use my decades of observing patterns in body and energy to meet every woman exactly where she is. Together, we move through the transition from:  who I was -> to who I am now Using four foundations: Clarity, Curiosity, Mindset, and Self-Compassion.
