Hello, I'm Valerie, a 65yr young mother of 3 grown lads, divorced & separated for 13 years. I work part time and am currently living in Dorset, UK. My main skills and interests are languages, including my own, English as well as natural health & living.
I grew up in Portugal, and am fluent in written and spoken Portuguese. Next in order of fluency, is French, studied to University level while I also lived in France and French Canada for some time. Next is German, which I learned while I lived in Germany for 2 years, then continued at Uni, alongside Italian in which I am not so fluent.
I have taught English as a foreign language (TEFL) to both children and adults. A stay-at-home mum for 18+ years, I'm experienced with children, including training in the Montessori method, for 0-3 year-olds. Experience with my own children taught me a lot to do with health issues & learning difficulties. I have cared for one dog, a Malinois Shepherd, who was abandoned.
Mostly brought up on a mixed diet, I started the protocol on carnivore in March 2022, after being vegan, then vegetarian, followed by a pescatarian, which I all tried after I developed health issues in my early 50s. These included hypothyroidism, arthritis, and skin issues.
Since joining NBWJA, these almost cleared up after the first 90 days and I became absolutely committed to this way of life! My thyroid issues have continued but I gave up all medications by the end of the year.
Other interests and training include Reiki, up to level 3, a certificate in Touch for Health Kinesiology, Crystals level 1, and Homeopathy for the family as well as Energy Medicine & Modalities. I also hold a certificate in Anatomy & Physiology. I love and have for about 10 years or so been learning Astrology and other esoteric modalities. I also enjoy learning techniques for cleansing, space protecting, and more.
I have yet to use any of the above in a professional way, as was cut short, but am keen/willing to help others with them. I love and am practised in helping and talking with the general public, and I look forward to working 1-1 or in small groups with newcomers.
Valerie
