Spiritual apprenticeship was once central to carrying on lineages & traditions in communities. My personalized approach to learning about the sacred & spiritual arts is continuing the ancient tradition of spiritual mentorship. 

Welcome to Spiritual Mentorship.
​
A sacred, trauma-informed, grounded-in-reality, embodied space to develop your connection to Spirit.

Our work will deepen through four levels of Spiritual Connection:
Because you are the instrument for connection, we will tend to your whole being & energy:
Picture


Your life becomes the prayer, ritual, and channel of energy so that you can compassionately, consciously, and seamlessly be a force for good in the world. ​

Attunement & Discovery

We begin with tuning in & curiosity.

​Each session begins with an invitation to explore where you are - your physical space, body, emotions, mind, and spirit.

We return to this invitation again and again throughout our time together. 

Tuning in and getting curious about you, your world, and your own process of perceiving subtle energy & Spirit.
​
​
​

Connection & Introspection

Using your ways of perceiving to connect to Spirit & Self, we work together to gain insights & wisdom, while exploring the many layers of meaning that can happen during spiritual connection.

Through connecting to Spirit & Self, we will be guided on what methods to pull from the Sacred Apothecary for your spiritual development.  
​
As we move through connection & reflection, we also return to attunement and discovery for a deeper, more nuanced spiral.

 Integration & Practice

​​At the end of each session together, an invitation for next steps to facilitate practice & integration.

Practice is built around connecting to Spirit in practical, grounded, and attuned ways to help you develop your Spiritual capacity in your daily life.  ​
​There are times when the call to find human guidance for our spiritual gifts is both LOUD and a WHISPER.

Meet your guide & facilitator 

Hi! I'm Valerie Louis, Ph.D. (she/they). A Scholar-Teacher-Healer-Channel, and an ordained practitioner with a focus to create spirit-led spaces for those who are a force for good in the world.

​Before I was in private practice, I used my connection with Spirit in boardrooms, university classrooms, community education, and my research at university. Living a spiritual life doesn't mean just one thing in today's society.

We need people to bring their souls and spirituality into all of our workplaces, communities, and institutions. I help people find their unique spiritual connection to be a force of good in the world. 

I began my formal spiritual training almost 30 years ago, and I continue to train and grow. Living a life in relationship with Spirit is not the easy road in our culture, but to me it is incredibly full-filling.
My Training & Those that Inform my Work:*
Energy Healing, Mediumship, Trance Channeling - Healing Light Center, Rev. Rosalyn Bruyere, Director.  2001-present
Ceremony and Ritual -  Jenny Trier, Susan Hough, & Sobonfu Somé

* I want to acknowledge that teachers can cause harm & come from traditions that have been known to perpetuate harm. I want to acknowledge that I have encountered this in my training. This list is those I studied with and impacted my understanding of the world, and a few (thankfully not my dominate experience) have done harm. 

Why people work with me in Spiritual Mentorship?

- To connect with Spirit & Energy in a grounded and filled-up way, minimizing overwhelm & fatigue.

- Support and direction on how to be Spiritual while also working where Spirit isn't the main focus.

Whether you are a seasoned or beginning spiritual practitioner, having a companion on your journey is
powerful & alchemical. 

Imagine your own sacred space filled with
deep reverence for the journey, compassionate inquiry & curiosity to invite depth, and a catalyst to inspire new insights.

​That's Spiritual Mentorship
 I have studied and practiced a variety of spiritual and healing traditions. These spiritual embodiment practices which I call the Spiritual & Sacred Apothecary help to connect to the layers of your being and make you elegantly attuned to Spirit.​
The Spiritual & Sacred Apothecary includes:
  • Connecting to Spirit - Personal exploration of your guidance system and how to call in support
  • Oracle Readings - Tarot, oracles, and SoulCollage® to connect to Inner Knowing & Spirit 
  • Internal Family Systems - A therapeutic system that helps you compassionately embrace your wholeness to be a more integrated practitioner. 
  • Somatic Exploration - Explore channels of perception, resources and regulate the nervous system for grounding & embodiment. 
  • Ancestral Healing - Connect to ancestral lines to help heal & reclaim gifts and energy.
  • Ritual & Ceremony - Assist practitioners in developing a personal practice rooted in the elements.
  • Creative Exploration - Cultivate curiosity, a love of process, and deeper experience of creation.
  • Guided Reflections & Meditation -  Facilitations relaxation for a more grounded & stable connection 
Weaving  different modalities with integrity provides you with the opportunity to welcome and embrace all aspects of yourself, connect to your unique gifts, and integrate your life experiences to be a compassionate and conscious steward of Spirit. 
The container for our work. 
By making a commitment to working together for a specific time frame the container is created for us to move into deeper levels of connection, healing, and creation. Mentorship is individualized.
Our work is a BESPOKE container that we create together during your discovery call. ​
Spirituality isn’t something you do, it’s something you are. 

Spirituality isn't something you have to do. You don’t have to prove it or perform it - no matter what society tells you. There is no right ritual or crystal or deck of cards that proves spiritual arrival. Because there is no arrival, and deep down you know this. 

You carry your spirituality with you and this knowing changes you from the inside out.
What is Included in Spiritual Mentorship? 
Spiritual mentorship includes personalized one-one-one care. For the nine month container, you  get support via communication and distance energy work, and two readings! For the three month intro container you get 1:1 support, energy support, and email check in's. 
HOW MUCH DOES SPIRITUAL MENTORSHIP COST? ​
Cost is individualized. We will create a customized experience by discussing what you are hoping to gain from mentorship. In our discussion, we will discuss budget and payment. I have chosen to not share pricing because I am committed to having transparent conversations around the money exchange for mentorship. Mentorship starts at $450 a month, and increases based on agreed services (sliding scale spots are open to students and those who the fee would be a hardship). 
I'm a Beginning on my spiritual journey. is this right for me? 
YES! Starting out on your spiritual journey is a great time to seeker out a teacher to help you uncover your unique spiritual gifts, develop structure to use your gifts in a powerful way, and assist you with learning you may want about your practice. 
i've been Developing my Spiritual Gifts for some time. How can you Help me? 
YES! After you have gone through trainings, initiations, and been practicing there is still so much to integrate and explore spiritually. For seasoned practitioners, Spiritual Mentorship can be a time of companionship to strengthen your practitioner, have guidance on deepening your interpretive skills, and unlearn some of the learning that maybe contributing to feelings of isolation, separation, and ungroundedness. Spiritual mentorship is a powerful companion to anyone going through the depths of initiation - including dark night of the soul, uncovering new dimensions to your spiritual gifts, and the spiritual awakening developed through personal transformations. 
How do I sign up?
First step is to schedule a discovery call so we can discuss possibilities, what your goals are, and to see if we are a good fit to work together.
