Valerie Lernihan

Teaches at Santa Monica College

Valerie received her Master's degree in TESOL and French Literature and minors in Italian and Russian. Her studies in France and Mexico, work experience in Austria and Brazil and travels to many countries contribute to her all around knowledge and teaching abilities. With over 15 years of teaching experience, Valerie has taught French, ESL, English, Leadership, Communication, TESL and CPI at universities, community colleges, private schools and companies. Currently, Valerie is teaching in the ESL department at Santa Monica College.

Through Valerie's own personal health challenges with cancer and an
auto-immune thyroid disease, she decided to take a different path
outside of the corporate world: holistic medicine. After experiencing so
many dead ends and endless pharmaceutical treatments, it became her
passion to take her health into her own hands and pursue alternative
forms of healing. Her journey led her to study holistic nutrition,
meditation, ayurveda, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), yoga and
pilates. Valerie hopes to help educate and inspire people to become
responsible for and conscious of their own health by helping them to
make healthy emotional, physical and spiritual changes. Valerie also
started dancing at the age of 4, and this passion for dance has led her
to become a certified Zumba instructor
