book consult"i recommend this experience to e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e because everyone deserves to experience their agency the way that VALORIZED guides you to, especially if you are a sensitive dreamer who hasn’t touched their most heartfelt vivid dreams in some time 🫀✨
The ideas and practices have healed years of chaos, confusion and doubt in my soma. Doing my best work alongside VALORIZED feels like flying on a cosmic trapeze, free and exhilarated to challenge myself to a new standard.
It held me in realising that production work didn’t feed me like it used to. I moved through many torturous nauseating decisions to say “no” to people I adore and admire, and claimed space for creative ideative poetic processes that sustain my inner sun."

"I had so much grief around what my life had become (even as it had so many great things) because I felt like I had to be constantly “responsible”. So many of my choices had been made without any real connection to myself.
VALORIZED really helped me to realise just how much pressure and fear I was experiencing and how much it was making everything harder than it needed to be.
I am so different now as a result of participating in VALORIZED and deciding to show up for what I want. I no longer see wanting things (whether career ambitions, standards of relating, material possessions, or the organisation of things to suit my way of being) as a danger to be avoided. VALORIZED has given me skills that I actually use, and that actually work."
- Natalie, childcare practitioner + commentator
"Before VALORIZED, I had built a business, but I was in burnout cycles. I took many coaching courses that were helping me be more "authentic" but eventually realized that these places didn't have what I needed to get out of the habit of being "read" and understood.
VALORIZED feels expansive. I listen to our modules and replays over and over again, and have new valuable nuanced ahas listening to myself and my cohort manifesting our dreams imperfectly.
Louisa finds ways to find the universal of our collective experience, while individualizing (with beautiful consent) truth-telling about habits of mind with fierce compassion."
- Sarah, home systems facilitator
"VALORIZED radically shifted my artistic practice. There's something about the questions that Louisa asks, and the way the process continuously reminds you to really believe that value, in a world that is often skeptical.
I now see myself as an artist who works in a medium of relationship. I'm extremely grateful for that.
There's room to do difficult things here and to have difficult questions asked of yourself.
I gained a real sense of clarity - a really specific, concentrated embodied understanding of what I'm offering, and a sense of the magnitude of it as well."
- Laurie, artist
"Before VALORIZED, I went through several crash & burn(out) cycles. The last time this happened—in combination with the state of the world—brought me to one of the smallest, most contracted places in my life, my capacity extremely limited. I started VALORIZED like that, and it’s a testament that I could arrive in that state and still be transformed.
Maybe it’s thanks to the neuroqueer focus or the nervous system work, some of VALORIZED’s ingredients. I love that I can show up to the calls or the Discord, receive support in facing the challenges around my work head on, and know that something's going to shift.
And I love that VALORIZED is a place where I can bring things that feel really, really meaningful—work that stitches my present reality with collective long-term dreams, where I get to define my successes beyond capitalist values."

"One of the things that attracted me to working with Louisa 1:1, is the level of deep self-work she has committed to and the sense-making she has done to understand how oppressive, hierarchal categories and systems work to make us shrink who we are. It enabled me to think and dialogue at greater depth than I would do in other coaching relationships. This is priceless – and rare.
Throughout our time together, I knew that Louisa believed in me and my work – more than I did at times. Her ability to reflect this invited me into a different relationship to my work. One that took the magnitude and importance of it seriously. That shift alone has enabled me to really take ownership of my work, the impact it has, to talk about the importance of it from a place of deep knowing."
