A lifelong seeker, writer, and adventurer, Valley has used writing to heal, survive, create, grow, transform and thrive in her life and the lives of others willing to show up at the page with vulnerability and desire.
Fascinated with how writing changes our personal energetics and the energetics of the group writing experience, Valley began a journey of studying energy work and mysticism, becoming a Reiki master, shamanic reiki practitioner, spiritual coach and somatic movement facilitator.
Her explorations have allowed her to release the heavy weight of goal oriented writing and revel in the process itself, the rewards of emotional growth, spiritual transformation and the ability to heal ourselves, each other and the world by writing our own specific stories, traumas, joys and experiences with honesty and vulnerability.
With a passion for healing, discovery and recovery, Valley loves harnessing the infinite potential of writing to take creative rather than destructive risks, navigate life’s roller coasters, and show up with emotional authenticity again and again.
Initiated into the mysteries of our unconscious lives, Valley is a spellcaster of the waking dream time, helping guide you through your own archetypes and mythologies, waking up to the power and potential of who you are.
Each time we write together we delve deeper into the truth of who we are and the power we have to write new futures, manifest our visions, accept our paths, see ourselves as the heroines of our lives rather than the victims of our fates and fall in love with ourselves exactly as we are.
A mystic, guide, seeker, wounded healer and writer of truth and, Valley holds up the mirror of recognition, symbology and myth while you write the story of your own becoming.
Valley walks with you into the depths of your shadow, helping you harness the power and beauty within the experiences you have survived, the selves you have judged, the light you have hidden, rising to the surface to and integrating them into your current reality so you can see through a new lens, fall in love with yourself and write your way into a future of infinite possibility.
Valley creates a sacred, safe, and confidential space to explore the experiences we have lived and the stories we have survived.
Valley has written with children, teenagers, adults, and elders. Clergy, therapists, addicts, and trauma survivors.
As a lifelong avid reader, she has a passion for helping people tell their grittiest, realest, most beautiful stories regardless of so-called skill or experience level.
She celebrates every aspect of a person’s writing, embracing the entire spectrum of the human experience.
Valley is the author of The Halfway House for Writers, Surrender Your Weapons: Writing to Heal, There’s No Accounting for the Strangeness of Things, and The Sacred Circle Writing Oracle. An award winning writing teacher of over 15 years, she leads local and international retreats, coaches one on one, and leads group writing experiences for recovery centers, nonprofits, and spiritual gatherings.
