T.W., Senior Personnel Analyst
I had problems with organization and creating boundaries. I was fearful and I had buried my desires and hopes. Valerie is a gifted coach. She is compassionate and patient. She allows her students to open up and speak from the heart and all the while she gently keeps you focused on your goals and desires. I learned to create boundaries for myself, and unearthed desires that had been dormant in my life and healed past hurts. Now I am on the other side of my desires and I feel lighter with greater focus. More...

Valerie helped me pinpoint some of the reasons my exercise attempts have been unsuccessful. She really made me think about my excuses and more importantly my goals. The ideas she shared about ”Mindset to Minshift” helped to spark a change in the way I defined exercise which will eventually help me eliminate my excuses. More...
N., Workshop Participant
I took Valerie’s workshop in November 2017 at Trans Lounge and I immediately felt something magical about her class. She made me feel comfortable to explore and express myself. Prior to coming to the workshop I’ve had some struggle with my body image and knew that having top surgery would help me but I thought it was financially impossible. So when Valerie asked in class what do we wish to happen in our lives, it took me a moment. But when I said it loud “Top surgery” I felt free and finished the class with a sense of accomplishment. Then a few weeks later, the miracle took place. I found out Cedars Sinai has just started a new program for transgender surgeries and my health insurance would cover for top surgery. When I researched in October this information was not available so I was really surprised. All the insurance paperwork went smoothly and I was able to have top surgery in March 2018. What I thought would be impossible became POSSIBLE in such a short period of time. I definitely believe Valerie’s dance workshop helped me break my limited thinking. Because of it I became open to receive all the resources necessary for my healing. I am so grateful, thank you Valerie!!! More...
Karen B, CPA
The qualities in Valerie that make her an appealing coach to work with: She isn't afraid to say confrontational things. She takes time to pause and check in with herself about the right question. She uses her intuition. She helps her client get to the deeper truth. She has a good mix of support/love and penetration. She helps you keep your focus on yourself. More...
What do you love most about your job?
I love "holding space." That's when the client feels safe, courageous, and open enough to share from their heart and the deepest part of their mind. No matter where the coaching session goes, the client trusts me to respect and cherish their life experience, desires, and insecurities. It is a gift and an honor to create the opportunity where this kind of intimacy occurs.
What inspired you to start your own business?
No jobs existed where I could combine my three loves: dancing, coaching, and inspirational speaking. And to do all that with a flexible schedule. I had been teaching dance and fitness classes for about five years so when I started Feel Good Kick Ass in 2015 , I focused on the Rock Your Life Dancshops - a personal development experience fused with a dance/fitness class.
I no longer teach dance or fitness classes publicly and my now-focus is working with clients one-on-one.
Why should our clients choose you?
Choose me if you resonate with me. Choose me if you’re a hell yeah to my message and what I do. Choose me if you believe that you can achieve the results you’re looking for WITH me. That’s what matters.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes. Initial 1h15m consultation is done over the phone. Then once we work together, weekly sessions are done over ZOOM.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
N/a because my sessions are virtual using ZOOM web conferencing.
Weekly Private Coaching (6 Months)
I work with clients once a week for 6 months at a time. Six months is the perfect amount of time to implement new beliefs and behaviors while also leaving lots of juicy room for setbacks and life to happen.
