“You are a phenomenal coach. What I just got from this whole session, in addition to what I just said, is every path to a result is not the same. You know, its just not. There’s more than one way to skin a cat. And I’m looking forward to exploring my new way. I’m looking forward to sharing with you what I discover and what I choose to do.”

“Val’s coaching style engages the client with curiosity and compliments the “BLOOMS™” coaching model she created.”
R.R., New Jersey
“If this was school I’d give Coach Val an A+. She had me really thinking here. Everything, she hit on the mark. She made me think about things I’ve never thought about. Val asked me questions that really dug deep to my core, that really made me think, like “Wow, this is why I do this” or “this is why I do that like this…” Round of applause. Her coaching helped make a huge change in my life. I started implementing boundaries around my down time so effectively that I was able to take a trip that I’ve been wanting to take for a very long time. She also helped me realize my concerns were proven wrong.
Thank you, Coach, for bringing that out of me cuz I’m a very closed book. You can ask my family, ask my friends, I don’t talk to nobody like that about personal stuff, but you made me feel so comfortable just to open up, so thank you for that, too.”

‘Val was good at making me feel heard and remembering what I shared the last time we met.’
T.M., North Carolina
“This was awesome. I wanna give you some feedback right now. You are “the thing!” You are so good at this. Number one, your mind. I’m so impressed with how you can remember— like, I don’t see you looking down writing, but you were right there. You were able to hold down all that information. I’m super like, “whoa,” impressed. I felt like this was just a great chat, but you were able to pull out the nuggets. I started out saying “I just don’t know how to, like, make it FIT” and you were like, “it already fits!” I love that we started in prayer, so knowing that God had cocooned this time so that it could be it’s most productive is something that does not go unnoticed. Thank you.”
Gretchen R., New York
‘Val came across as very natural and also gives the client time to reflect. She did a really good job with visualization using Story Therapy, and has a good, non-intimidating presence.’
Maria P., North Carolina
“The coaching sessions helped me develop my interpersonal skills by adequately equipping me with tools to address conflict and improved my emotional intelligence. Furthermore, it gave me an opportunity to reflect positively on myself, my journey and the obstacles I’ve overcome. Val has been instrumental in the last few weeks in setting [me] up for success, I have enjoyed the conversations we have had together, the laughs, and tears in between. She has the unique ability to make people open up to her and reveal their true and raw emotions. She is a really great asset and I am happy to have crossed paths with her.”
