An experienced manager and strategist, Valérie practices sport regularly. Every morning, she will either go for a run, a brisk walk or a bike ride, which allows her to arrive at the office energized and ready to start the day. She also has been practicing yoga for more than 15 years, a sport that helps improve her posture, energy and overall well-being. Staying active allows Valérie to be more focused, productive, gain perspective, and handle the little surprises that life throws her way.

Valérie will be participating in the FitSpirit Mother/Daughter Challenge with her daughter, Audrey. The event will allow them to spend quality time together and have fun. Valérie believes that FitSpirit’s various initiatives and programs make a real difference in the lives of teenage girls. Exercise is a great way to feel good about one’s mind and body, which can largely help young girls feel more confident, especially in their teenage years.

"The FitSpirit Mother/Daughter Challenge gives me a goal to shoot for during the summer months and a reason to train while on vacation! It also lets me change my mind and not stress too much over the start of the school year." – Audrey, 14 years old
