Valerie is an international retreat leader, Kundalini yoga teacher, spiritual director, writer, and an ICF-certified leadership coach.

Through her writing, Valerie seeks to foster a more compassionate and peaceful world. She has written numerous books on mindfulness and Quaker leadership, as well as Pendle Hill pamphlets, including, "The Mindful Quaker."
