Hi, I'm Valerie!

My name is Valerie Beck, and I'm the driving force behind Intrepid Wellness and Club Phoenix. With an eclectic background as an educator, international traveler, hip-hop dancer, and holistic health practitioner, I know how it feels to struggle with finding your path in a world that often rewards the straight and narrow.

I’ve walked the winding road myself, and now, I’m here to stand for your growth and evolution—to help you hone your vision of who you want to become, align your actions with your values, and get you on a clear path towards vitality and fulfillment. If you're ready to stand for your own evolution, then I invite you to join me—because facing challenges is always easier together, and the journey is richer when we embrace it fully, with all its twists and turns.

MY STORY

My journey has been anything but straightforward. With roots in hip-hop dance, global exploration, and holistic health, I’ve lived the experience of feeling lost in a world that often values conventional paths. For years, I chased external validation—believing that relentless achievement was the key to self-worth. I excelled outwardly, but internally, I was running on empty, grappling with anxiety, depression, and burnout.

It wasn’t until I faced these challenges head-on, embracing the practices of Ayurveda, yoga, and personal movement, that I began to see the power within myself. I realized that my worth isn’t tied to accolades or external approval, but to the strength that comes from knowing and accepting myself fully.

Now, I stand before you, not just as someone who survived crippling low self-esteem and burnout, but as someone who’s thriving because I have transmuted my struggles into strengths. Through Intrepid Wellness and Club Phoenix, I’m dedicated to helping others find their path, align their lives with their values, and embrace the winding journey toward fulfillment. Because no matter where you are on your path, you deserve to grow, evolve, and live a life that resonates with your true self.

The Birth of Club Phoenix

As I emerged from my own journey through burnout and self-discovery, I realized that my experience wasn’t just about survival—it was about transformation. That’s when I created Club Phoenix—a holistic, year-long journey of healing and self-discovery, and a dedicated container for real, lasting change. Rooted in the principles of Ayurveda and personal discipline, this program is designed to help you rise from cycles of burnout, stagnation, and fatigue into a vibrant, resilient version of yourself.

Experience an evolution in both body and mind as you commit to lasting health and personal growth—we at Club Phoenix are ready to welcome you to your new journey today!

My Ayurvedic Consultations

Esther Weiler

Valerie set out a holistic practice of self-care, health & wellness care promoting care, guidance, knowledge, expertise, and dedication not only to wellness but to ME as an individual. And with dedication, loyalty and wanting to help myself, Valerie was the guide I needed to start this process of healing from the inside out. 

And with her skills and knowledge...this was just an extension of the services that supported my path to wellness and release the binds that needed to be released physically and mentally. Through this journey, I am forever grateful to Valerie and her practice for paving the way into a safe, comforting, and joyful path to living a more peaceful life in a very fast, challenging, chaotic and unbalanced world.

I met Valerie during a trying time in my life. Not a lot of guys will admit when they are hurting from a breakup and I was one of them...or so I thought. Valerie helped me realize that life happens just like the seasons. No matter what you do, you can't stop the rain or the snow or the heat or the water crashing unto the shore. You may be on top of the world one minute and all of a sudden you have no purpose within the blink of the eye. 

When you zoom out and take a step back, you see that there's power in what you CHOOSE to do every day and not what has happened in the past. You have the power to be present and that's where your mindset comes in. Having a coach like Valerie and people to help you along that journey is what makes you see clearly and change with the seasons and not against them. It will be challenging but as long as you have support within the ashes, you'll be just fine when you rise up again. 

Let's Connect

If you're ready to rekindle your passion without the fear of burning out, let's connect. My mission is to light the path back to your most vibrant self. So, are you ready to rise from the ashes? Join me at Club Phoenix, and let's embark on this journey together.
