About Femke Valerie

Mission & Vision

This women’s-only space offers safety and support through trauma-informed plant medicine and somatic integration. I support women in embodied transformation that honors both individual trauma and systemic harm — by bridging personal healing and collective liberation.

Rooted in cultural humility, feminist and intersectional values, and the understanding that true healing also connects us to a more just world, this space is firmly against spiritual bypassing, guru dynamics, or possibly retraumatizing practices.

Here, healing is all about reconnecting with your own wisdom and wholeness — remembering we’re all part of an interconnected world.

To honor this, 10% of profits are donated to an Indigenous-led organization, and scholarships are offered to women who may face barriers to healing.

A Heartfelt and Transformative Journey with Femke
I had the privilege of joining a plant retreat guided by Femke, and I am still deeply moved by this experience. Femke has a rare and beautiful way of truly seeing people. With her, you don’t just feel welcomed, you feel genuinely understood. Her presence is warm, clear, and incredibly gentle, almost as if she intuitively meets you exactly where you are.

Throughout the retreat, I felt completely safe and supported. She senses what you need without many words, whether it’s a quiet moment, a grounding look, a soft conversation, or simply her calm presence. Especially during the ceremony, her guidance was an anchor for me. She works quietly in the background, yet she is there in the very moment you need her.

This retreat gifted me clarity, peace, and a deep trust in myself. Femke played a significant part in that transformation. She is a wonderful human being with a true heart for holding healing spaces. I am profoundly grateful for this experience and would return to her any time.
