Valerie is the person who makes you feel at ease in an uncomfortable situation and can make complicated things understandable. She is the perfect combination of sister and coach. After a too long and toxic relationship she was driven to create a space for women that helped them get outdoors. She started with running hikes and camping retreats for women in Southern California and found wonderful success until the COVID-19 pandemic threw a wrench in that plan (waa waa). So, she learned how to build a better website and get her self-proclaimed great advice out into the world. She is often found on the trail, in the ocean, or watching the wildlife in her backyard.
