     "[Your presentation] was a real eye opener for us. The enthusiasm you presented with was amazing! I hope you continue your work with others because it really helped me."

  • Rebecca S. (age 14)

  • Samantha (age 16)

    "You understand me better than anyone I've ever met before." 

  • Natasha (mom)

    Building on a wonderful relationship of trust and fun that she established, Val taught my son, in a very age appropriate way, that he could be master of his own emotions. He had previously often been overwhelmed by anger; she gave him a set of tools that has resulted in him often walking away from a situation and managing his reactions rather than exploding. This...

  • Heidi (mom)

    Val has been a great help to my 7 year old son. Before meeting Val, he had frequent bathroom accidents and was unwilling to participate in any out of school activities...Val has made it safe for Ryan to be himself. He now enjoys violin lessons, which he asked to take. And even was a star of the show during a recent recital...Our family is very grateful for Val's...

  • Ally (age 12)

    Val helped me to learn how to calm myself and get my anxiety under control in stressful situations....Val is very easy to talk to, she is an excellent listener and is very understanding. I enjoyed working with Val, she helped me to get through my anxiety and come out of my shell.  I am very thankful for all that she has done for me.

  • Chris (mom)

    Val was recommended to us by a friend.  At a moment’s notice she came over directly to see my teenage daughter during a very upsetting time. Val was easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and also extremely caring.  My daughter was immediately comfortable with Val and her help was invaluable. 

  • Andrew K.

    “My class and I recognized your commitment to this subject and think you are a great leader. I think you are a good person to teach and all kids like you. Thank-you for the time you give to others.”

  • Chad F.

    “If anyone else did the presentation I don’t think that I would have liked it at all. I don’t mind if you come in again and talk to us about something, I’d probably like it just as much. Thank you very much for coming in to talk to us.”

  • Jesse (dad), & 13 year old daughter

    My daughter and I were both initially nervous coming to see you, but you put us at ease immediately. You were comforting, helpful, and very thorough. You walked us through the whole process so we knew exactly what to expect. The techniques you taught us were immediately effective and R was able to put them into practice right away. It worked!

  • Carlie (mom) & 12 year old daughter

    When my daughter and I came to see you, I realized that I had not been a very effective communicator with her…and I didn’t know that I didn’t know that. I often missed the whole point. You taught me how to talk and listen to her the way she communicates rather than the way I talk. I finally feel like I understand how to communicate with her and it was so easy. I...

  • Ali (age 17)

    “Dear Val, I just thought I would write you a letter and tell you some things. 1. You are an amazing woman and you have helped me deal with a lot of things. 2. I want you to know how many lives you have touched. Every person that you have taught that I have talked to has shared some good thoughts of you with me. Love always, Ali.”

  • Leanne L. (age 14)

    “Thank you so much for teaching me important skills that I will use all my life. Being teached by you, in my eyes, I think I have become a better person. Thank you for everything and anything you did.”

  • Stacey Z. (age 13)

    “I remember all the times we sat at that table and had all the discussions we had, when we had emotional times, both happy and sad. You helped each one of us through our bad times. I had a great time and I hope you did too.”

  • Megan (age 15)

    “You have a gift of making people smile during tears, laugh in the darkest moods and feel good on those days when there’s nothing to feel good about!! You really are blessed. Thanks for showing me how to see the good in others, and like people for who they are. Thank you helping me to accept the faults in me and be grateful for the good things. Thank you so much...
