Science-backed, holistic guidance to help you thrive with your natural rhythms.

We’ve always known this intuitively: we thrive when we are in alignment with the natural world. Our separation from our fundamental biological rhythms can lead to fatigue, hormonal imbalance, and depleted vitality. Science is now catching up, reminding us that reconnecting with nature is essential to living a thriving, balanced life.

Whether you live in a rural or urban environment, I’ll help you combine timeless wisdom with modern science so you can feel your best, without the overwhelm.

 

What People Are Saying

  • "Truly special, ethically made, and works!"

    “I highly recommend Valerie’s skincare products for anyone looking for something truly special, ethically made, and that works! I'll be stocking up, especially for the colder months!"

    Mary | New York, USA

  • "Exceptional products"

    "If you're seeking skincare that's as mindful as it is effective, I highly recommend trying Valerie’s exceptional products. They’ve brought a new level of care and quality to my daily routine."

    Shaun | Virginia, USA

  • "The skin salve I didn't know I needed"

    “The Calm Balm that I purchased from Valerie is the skin salve I didn’t know I needed! I feel like my skin is so soft - and the scent is so nice. With the weather cooling substantially, I am also very much enjoying the Wild Orange Balm for my lips!”

    Amanda | Maine, USA

  • Persistent rash gone within a week

    “A year ago I developed a skin rash on my thigh, with an unknown source. My doctor suggested hydrocortisone. That didn’t work, neither did an anti-histamine ointment, nor an anti-fungal. The rash was persistent over 6 weeks until I used Valerie’s sea buckthorn oil, which I had bought for my face. It worked within a week, and occasionally small flareups are almost instantly repaired. I also adore the Tallow Balm, and its fragrance is light, but fantastic! My facial skin never has breakouts or dryness!

    I won’t use anything else.”

    Cheryl | Florida, USA

“One of my top favorite skin care lines ever”

I might be biased because I’m Valerie’s brother but I don’t think that’s the case. Her products are by far one of my top favorite skin care lines ever. Perhaps my absolute favorite. And I genuinely mean this.

I’m just as picky as she is about ingredients and what I put in or on my body. I guess it runs in the family. I’m hoping there are future customers out there who acknowledge just how amazing it is to use a product whose ingredients are so heavily vetted. ( I mean NO detail is missed )

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve considered a product at various natural co-ops only to discover some sneaky ingredient that ruins the whole thing for me not to mention my trust in the brand.

I feel like a kid all excited at Christmas every time I use one of her products. Like it’s my most prized gift that brings me joy over and over again.

The smell of the 100 % pure essential oils and ingredients is heavenly! And the feel of them on your skin is like soft butter... My favorite right now is the cacao & peppermint tallow balm - the tallow elevates it to a whole new level 😍 And of course, each one of the other ingredients is hand selected to give your skin the best it deserves. The smell is incredible. Like a Christmas chocolate peppermint candy cane made with pure joy and love. I only wish I had the vocabulary to write the best review her products deserve. I promise you will not be disappointed!
