A different kind of guide
Valerie Patterson, Founder
I don’t offer answers, diagnoses, or direction.
I hold a space where you can learn how to access your own truth.
This work is not about following someone else’s path.
It’s about building trust in your own.
How Love It Free came into being
My path into this work did not begin with a clear destination.
Like many people, I was trying to make sense of my experiences—internally and externally. I was searching for clarity, understanding, and a way of moving through life that felt aligned with something deeper.
What began as a personal meditation practice gradually opened a new way of relating to myself and the world around me. Through stillness, reflection, and inner exploration, I began to recognize patterns, perspectives, and possibilities that had previously remained hidden from view.
Over time, this journey led me into yoga, social-emotional learning, and shamanic practice, where I learned to listen more deeply, cultivate discernment, and develop trust in what emerged through direct experience.
What began as a personal exploration eventually evolved into something larger. The insights, messages, and understandings that emerged through this process revealed recurring themes of awareness, personal agency, authenticity, healing, and humanity's capacity for growth.
Love It Free emerged from that journey, along with a growing body of messages, educational materials, reflective practices, and learning experiences that continue to evolve as the foundation of the work.
Today, Love It Free serves as a living philosophy and human development platform dedicated to helping individuals and organizations cultivate greater awareness, personal agency, and conscious participation in life.
