I’m Valerie! I am a Christian life coach, minister, and guide for women who sense God calling them forward and want to walk into that calling with confidence and peace.

My work was shaped through years of walking with women who genuinely love God, have done real inner healing, and desire to live faithfully, yet still feel uncertain, emotionally reactive, or hesitant when it comes time to move forward. I’ve seen how easy it is to stay in preparation mode, even when God is inviting movement.

I am a certified trauma-informed life coach with over five years of experience in inner healing and identity-based coaching, trained in multiple inner healing modalities. I care deeply about helping women become emotionally grounded, spiritually secure, and confident in following the Holy Spirit in everyday life, not just in theory, but in practical life application.

I believe healing is sacred and necessary, and I also believe it was never meant to be the end of the story. Healing prepares us, but identity and authority are what allow us to move forward into our calling.

That conviction led me to create Forward Authority™: An Identity-to-Calling Movement This is my signature framework designed to help Christian women move from introspection and overthinking into clarity, from emotional reactivity into steadiness, and from hesitation into Spirit-led action.

My approach is gentle but honest, Spirit-led and grounded, and always oriented toward where God is leading now. I’m not trying to fix what isn’t broken. My calling is about helping you to become secure enough to carry God’s next for you.

If you’re in a season where you know God is inviting you forward, and you want support stepping into that invitation with peace and confidence, you’re welcome here.
