I’m Valerie Ihsan. I’m a bougie babe with a hippy core, and I love dogs. I have three rescue dogs, two adult children, and a Turkish husband. I’m a witchy book doula, a published author, a story analyst, and a podcaster.

I work with soul-led experts who are ready to channel their life's work into a living, breathing legacy. Together, we honor both the structure and the spirit of the book that wants to be born through you.

As your book coach, I don't impose a formula or mute your intuition. I become a sacred steward of your vision, creating a strategic, supportive container where the creative process unfolds naturally — and powerfully. This is not just book coaching. This is legacy crafting.

You are standing at a threshold. Your message is ready to reach beyond your clients, your courses, your inner circle — to touch lives you've never met, in places you'll never see. Your book is your bridge. I’m here to walk it with you. Schedule a free discovery call today.
