About Me
Hi! I’m Valerie, the creator of The Action Commons where I aim to provide inspiration for you to try a new recipe, pack a new snack on a trail, and connect with nature and yourself.
With a lifelong passion for cooking, I have been honing my skills over the years with experimentation and volunteering friends and coworkers to be my taste testers. I’m a true foodie at heart and fondly remember the early days of the Food Network, when it was all about learning and inspiration rather than competition.
Whether it’s as simple as walking a different route through the neighbourhood, biking to a new destination or to hike to the top of a mountain, I’m always up for an adventure… and I pack tasty treats.
About 15 years ago, I began exploring the spiritual part of my life through various courses and reading lots of different resources. So far I have completed courses in Baptiste Yoga (200hr RYT), Reiki Practitioner (Master), and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT tapping) along with exploring all sorts of ways to practice breath-work, mindfulness, meditation and express devotion. It’s with these practices that I am able to approach life and all the twists and turns – on a trail or at a desk.
Ad-Free and Full of Great Content
Over the past few years, the most popular trends in information blogs has turned into websites that are splattered with ads, always-running video clips and pop-ups.
I wanted to provide something different.
Useful content covering the wide spectrum of body, mind & spirit information without the clutter.
