Client Stories
It can be helpful to hear other people’s experiences to determine whether something is right for you or not. Here are some stories told and written by past clients describing what it was like to work with me,
and what emerged in our work together.
To be willing to publicly share one’s coaching experience is an act of courage and generosity.
I am honoured to have encountered these amazing human beings.
« As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. »

Tine
Psychomotor therapist, Denmark
« I have been coached in movement, conversation and with creative tools by Valérie in starting my own company as a Psychomotor Therapist. My intention was to focus on my resources and how to find community in this process.
Valérie has been a great support on this journey! Like two supportive and loving hands, she has held the space for me while I was developing. Hands that had the courage to hold me and be on the journey both when I felt resistance, fragile and strong. Valérie's supportive hands have been filled with care, acknowledgement, and mildness. Hands with the special ability to follow you and stay beside you when you step into your own empowerment!
In my collaboration with Valérie and in the creative process, my gaze has become clearer. I see that my strength and my vulnerability are both resources in my company as a Psychomotor Therapist where I offer somatic lessons, body treatment and creative workshops in movement and dance. My openness, courage and healthy boundaries are great resources and so are my creative and playful way of approaching a challenge.
During my coaching with Valérie I actually found a place for my company and a community to work with. And I got more jobs where I offer my work. It feels magic in a way and I am curious how this adventure with my company will unfold in the future.
I warmly recommend Valérie as a coach! Her care, respect, and ability to keep a safe space creates a space where you can develop. Especially if you are dreaming about starting your own company or to find out how you can bloom in your work life, I can recommend Valérie's creative coaching in movement with the Tamalpa Life Art® process. Take the chance! Something will be different afterwards. »
