Meet Rona Valdes, MSC

Certified Life Coach & Relationship Counselor

Born in the Philippines and raised in the United States, my life has been shaped by a rich bi-cultural journey and a deep understanding of transition — from East Coast to West Coast, from one career chapter to the next, and from self-doubt to self-trust. I earned my undergraduate degree in Health Science with a concentration in Health Education and began my career doing door-to-door community research. This early work grounded me in the power of listening, connection, and meeting people where they are.

I later became a nurse, spending 18 years as an injection nurse in pediatrics and in women’s health. After more than 20 years in healthcare, I felt called toward a new path — one that honored the emotional and mental health struggles I had witnessed in others and experienced myself, and as a mother. Returning to school was a full-circle, transformational moment that led me to earn my Master’s degree in Counseling and step into work that aligns deeply with my purpose.

I understand what it’s like to struggle with low confidence, burn-out, and mid-life challenges — to feel unsure, scared, or defeated. I believe we are human first, and that our emotions serve a purpose. With awareness and support, we can learn to respond to life differently and more intentionally. As a lifelong learner, warm and compassionate guide, I am deeply committed to empowering individuals to tackle life’s challenges in meaningful ways.

As your life coach and relationship counselor, I specialize in phase-of-life transitions, healthy lifestyle support, and relationship nurturing. My approach is strengths-based and collaborative — focused on your goals, your values, and your inner resilience. Allow me to be your coach, to inspire change, peace, and balance, and to support you in restoring your best self.

Why Choose Life Coaching?

Over the past two years, Rona has worked extensively with individuals navigating anxiety, grief, eating disorders, occupational stress and relationship conflicts. Training as an AMFT mental health fellow within a large integrated healthcare organization, has helped her become a well-rounded clinician, with strong skills in approaches such as DBT; however, coaching is not therapy. As your life coach, Rona will not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Instead of operating within a medical or pathologizing model, her work centers on meaning-making, resilience, and growth. At Restore Life Coaching, the focus is on your unique strengths, progress over perfection, and practical, actionable steps forward. You are human — not a diagnosis — and the goal is to support change without defining you by problems or labels.
