There are people who change lives—and then there is Val, my dearest Mother, who completely transforms them. Her wisdom, compassion, and deep understanding of human potential, gained only through the hardships and experiences of life itself, make her an exceptional life coach, someone who doesn’t just offer guidance but truly empowers those she works with to unlock their best selves in a way that is truly befitting unto them. From her very first interactions, Val has an innate ability to make you feel seen, heard, and understood whilst also creating, without any judgement, a safe space where vulnerability is met with kindness, challenges are met with strategy, and dreams are met with unwavering belief. Whether helping to navigating through one’s personal growth, career transitions, or overcoming self-doubt, her insight and support have helped me to turn obstacles into stepping stones for success.
What sets Val apart is her ability to connect on a profound level, tailoring her coaching to each individual’s journey. I have seen time and time again how she doesn’t rely on generic advice— how she listens, she analyzes and intuitively knows exactly what’s needed for meaningful breakthroughs. Her methods are rooted in experience, yet they feel refreshingly personal and transformative. Every conversation with Val is a powerful reminder that everyone is capable of more than they believe. She helps unravel limiting values, inspires confidence, and offers actionable strategies that turn aspirations and then in turn into realities. It’s not just life coaching—it’s an awakening to all that’s possible within our universe and within ourselves. If you’re seeking clarity, self-discovery, or simply a trusted guide to help shape your life’s direction, Val is the one who will not only walk with you but help you see the greatness that was within you all along. Her dedication, passion, and unshakable faith in the potential of others make working with her nothing short of life-changing.
She has shaped and transformed my life by instilling the virtues of humanity in me.
I love you Mom
Thank you for always being YOU
Trishen Moodley
Watching my mom become the empowered woman she is today has been one of the most inspiring journeys of my life. She has walked through some of life’s hardest seasons:
— profound loss and rising from the ashes after every arduous challenge coupled with intense heartbreak. Instead of letting them break her, she used them to find herself. She didn’t just survive; she grew stronger, wiser, and more grounded in who she truly is.
Through those experiences, she rediscovered her confidence, her voice, and her purpose. And now, she wants to use everything she’s experienced and learned to help others do the same. That’s what makes her such a powerful life coach — not just her insight, empathy and compassion, but the fact that she’s lived it. She knows what it’s like to feel lost, and she knows the way back to wholeness. She has this rare ability to really see people—to listen without judgment, to offer support without pressure, and to ask the questions that open doors within you. She’s helped me, and so many others, find clarity and courage in moments of doubt.
If you’re looking for a life coach who truly understands the ups and downs of life, who leads with the heart, and who believes fiercely in your potential, my mom is the one. She gives wholeheartedly without expecting anything in return. Her strength is quiet but unwavering, and her passion for helping others is rooted deep in unconditional love, hard-earned wisdom, humility and grace.
I LOVE YOU MOM

An Incredible Life Coach and Even More Incredible Woman
Val is not only an extraordinary life coach—she’s also my mother-in-law, and watching her in her element has been nothing short of inspiring. She brings a deep wisdom, patience, and strength to every conversation, and her ability to truly see people and guide them with grace is a gift.
Val has this calm, grounded presence that makes you feel safe, supported, and deeply understood.

I've witnessed first hand how her coaching transforms lives, and I feel lucky to not only know her as family, but to learn from her example every day.
If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, who will challenge and champion you, and who leads with heart and integrity, Val is the life coach you’ve been looking for.

A Journey of Resilience
Life has a way of throwing up unexpected challenges which tests our strength and resolve.
Val Moodley is just one such story. Val is a remarkable individual who faced the immense hardships of a dysfunctional childhood, a challenging and arduous 27 year marriage that led to a heart-wrenching divorce and directly thereafter, the profound loss of her loving mother. Her journey is certainly a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit’s ability to overcome even the most daunting obstacles.
In the face of her divorce, she confronted feelings of uncertainty and heartbreak and rather than allowing herself to be consumed by her emotions, she chose to channel her energy into personal growth. She came to me for support and was feeling very vulnerable and came to realise that vulnerability is not a weakness but a strength. Through this process, she learned to redefine her identity and embrace her independence, turning a painful chapter into an opportunity for self-discovery.
The loss of her loving mother directly after her divorce was another hard knock for Val. When one grieves it is a very personal journey, and she faced it head-on and did not shy away from her pain. Throughout these challenges, she discovered the importance of self-care and mindfulness. She learned that healing is not linear, and it’s okay to have setbacks along the way.
As she emerged from these trials, she found a new sense of purpose. It is evident that her experiences inspired her to help others facing similar struggles. She became an advocate for mental health awareness and trauma healing, sharing her story to inspire those who might feel lost in their own journeys. Her strength became a beacon of hope, showing that it’s possible to thrive even after experiencing profound loss and transformation.
Her resilience reminds us that while life may be unpredictable, our response to it is within our control. Her journey teaches us that challenges can transform us, leading to personal growth, understanding, and a deeper appreciation for one's life and it's fleeting moments.
Good luck with your vocation Val.

I met Val many years ago and took an instant liking to her. Her warm and friendly nature drew me in. As our friendship developed, her warm, loving, kind-hearted, and generous traits shone through, but I also learned of her life of abuse, pain, and suffering. She felt worthless and was crying most days and often on the brink of ending her life. I was so happy when she plucked up enough courage to walk away from that life. Since then, she has empowered herself with her soul-searching and found the happiness she fully deserves.
Her strength and resilience have brought her to where she is today. Carefree, happy, and head held up high. With her characteristics previously mentioned, she can now offer to journey with any troubled heart.
With her skills now, she will assist anyone most ably because, as the saying goes, " she has been down that road " and triumphed.

Dear Beautiful Val,
Forty years of friendship is a treasure I cherish deeply. Through life's ups and downs, you've been a constant source of support, guidance, and love. Your strength and resilience inspire me, and I'm grateful for your unwavering presence in my life.
Your advice, encouragement, and listening ear have been invaluable. I'm proud to call you my role model and best friend. Your friendship is a precious gift, and I feel fortunate to have you by my side.
I've seen you working, growing and at the same time overcoming tough times and always getting up! You have always been there in my toughest and darkest times through so many hurdles and challenges. You actively listened and understood me and provided a shoulder to lean on whenever I needed you. You took me out of the dark and let me see the light within and without.
Thank you for being an extraordinary friend. I'm honored to share this journey with you.
With love and appreciation,
Your Bestie for life

Working with Val has been nothing short of life-changing. From our very first session, her genuine warmth and intuitive insights helped me uncover beliefs holding me back and replace them with empowering, action-driven mindsets.
Val’s compassionate, guidance and tailored strategies gave me the clarity and confidence I needed to pursue goals I once thought impossible.
Thanks to her support, I’ve not only achieved concrete breakthroughs in my career and relationships, but I also feel more aligned with my true purpose than ever before.

I met Val over a decade ago at a university function. I was standing alone, feeling overwhelmed by everything going on in my life, and out of an entire room of people, she was the only one who came up to me. That small act of kindness felt huge—and it still stays with me to this day. She saw something in me, and instead of walking by, she reached out with warmth, compassion, and genuine care.
Val is truly beautiful—inside and out. She carries a light that radiates through everything she does. She’s one of those rare people who makes you feel instantly safe, heard, and accepted. She has stood by me through some of the most difficult chapters of my life. Never once did she judge. She just showed up—with empathy, patience, and love. And then—life being what it is—our paths crossed again at work. Can you believe it? From that moment, our bond deepened, and we became best friends for life.
Val is a natural coach. She listens with her whole heart, offers thoughtful, soul-level guidance, and creates space for people to be fully themselves. She doesn’t just support people—she lifts them. Her presence is calming, her insight is powerful, and her joy is infectious.
If you’re thinking about working with her, don’t hesitate. Val will walk with you, believe in you, and help you reconnect with the strongest, most authentic version of yourself. She’ll change your life if you let her.
Lots of love

I think everybody deserves a coach at some point in one’s life, but Val is not just another coach, she is a gift that cannot be easily categorized. Being a retired woman, huge changes were occurring in my life very rapidly with personal as well as financial issues. It was the most painful time for me, and I had given up on my life, I thought all was over, I lost all hope. But Val’s devotion has helped me reach places inside myself I hardly knew existed 2 years ago. My coaching relationship with her is the fundamental work in my life. Talking with Val is like directly talking to your soul, your true inner self which was too afraid to speak up before suddenly it finds its voice. The sessions I had with Val have brought me huge personal growth, helped me find strength within myself, allowed me to find my voice and most of all find myself. I am retired and never thought I would be able to work again but her coaching and support has truly been one of the most transformative events of my life. I have a great job as a teacher, I am further developing in my studies, and I am now independent and feel like a new person. A TRULY AMAZING JOURNEY!
I will always be so grateful to you Val, you are truly inspirational!!
Love

Val Moodley and I know each other from childhood. I know her struggles and the relentless effort she has put into her life's journey and purpose.
Through all her adversities Val remained focused in her pursuit to better herself, heal and help others due to her own experiences. To be a life coach one has to have gone through a myriad of hurdles faced with many obstacles and still reach your pinnacle. Val is a great listener and teacher. Her calm, bubbly personality and drive for life is what makes her a remarkable human.
Wishing her great success in her journey.

Some people walk into your life quietly, profoundly, and change everything, and for me, that person has been you, dear Val.
Through some of the most challenging chapters of my life, you have been a steady, guiding presence: listening without judgment, encouraging without pressure, and reminding me of my strength even when I couldn't see it myself.
You've been more than a friend, you've been a guide, a light in the dark, and a constant source of wisdom and grace. Your kindness, patience, and unwavering belief in me have shaped into who I am today. I'm endlessly grateful for the moments you stood by me, the tough love you gave when I needed it most, and the hope you offered when mine was running low.
Thank you for being exactly who you are.
The world and my world is better because of you.
Love
Tarron
We know each other for almost 20 years.
Right up to this day I have come to know you as a humble, respectful, most loving person I have met. I have learned so much from you in family values, love and peace which are the most important things in life.
One lesson in particular I have learned is that one can be selfless and that's true beauty. Your love for life is what I always see whenever we are together, always giving not only resources, but your time and yourself.
I am blessed to know you and being part of your life and family.
Love

In a fast paced and ever growing digital world, face to face interactions with people is neglected.
Val provided human interaction coupled with engaging and thought provoking conversations across various topics.
During these conversations, I not only learnt a lot about myself but also about those I surround myself with. I learned to understand myself and other people better which enabled me to make more suitable choices for my life.
My interaction with Val created an eye opening and re-awakening of my inner self and my capabilities.
~ Volenté Alexander

She is an engaging individual and gives her time and energy and brings out the best in you. She oozes lots of love and light with her deep understanding and sees you as you truly are.
She has no judgements and accepts you for who YOU are.
Love
Samantha Higgins
I have had the privilege of knowing Vasanthie Moodley (Val to her friends) for at least 15 years, and in that time, she has consistently proven herself to be a genuine, trustworthy, and inspiring individual.
Whether it's through her unwavering support, positive attitude, or her remarkable dedication to everything she pursues, Val stands out as someone who truly makes a difference in the lives of those around her.
I am grateful to call her a friend and can confidently recommend her in any endeavour she chooses to take on.
Val is a truly special person to have in your life.
Lauren Ditchfield
Ex-Colleague and Friend
I had the absolute honor to have met Val at her birthday party a few years ago, and we clicked immediately and formed a very special bond since then. She has an amazing positive energy about her & always sees the best in people and in any situation. She’s never too busy for anyone in need, and has given me very sound relationship advice when I needed it, besides being an amazing true friend.
I would highly recommend Val as a life coach from the experiences I shared with her throughout our friendship.
What makes her even more special is her level of total confidentiality which is very important when dealing with life issues.
Best Regards
Erika Do Santos
Val has a way of connecting with people at a soul level. She meets you exactly where you are on your growth journey and makes you feel truly seen and heard. On countless occasions, when my world felt like it was unravelling, she didn’t rush to fix anything — instead, she offered presence, calm, and the gentle reminder to pause and breathe.
Through her guidance, I’ve been able to shift my perspective, soften resistance, and find clarity where once there was confusion. She has helped me recognize and release patterns that were no longer serving me — not with judgment, but with deep compassion.
I’m endlessly grateful for her wisdom, but above all, for her kindness and generosity of heart. She brings light into the grey and helps me see color again when all had turned to black and white.
Thank you Val
With Love
