You Are the Journey & the Destination.
It’s by realizing that You are the impossible that everything else becomes possible.
My name is Valeria T. Koopman. I have spent most of this life searching for joy and fulfillment, both personally and professionally. On a personal level, my desire was to feel happy in my relationships — loving and being loved by my husband, family, and friends. On a professional level, I wanted to earn a living by making others happy.
With those goals in mind, I made several changes and tried various methods, practices, and tools, including working on my physical body to be in top health. I engaged in one change after another hoping to finally experience joy and fulfillment in all areas of my life.
Along the way, I became deeply depressed, and in the midst of despair, I was shown a path to the unchanging me. A spontaneous insight suggested that I was, and had been…
Fit for Joy!
As I embody this simple realization, the emotional pain attached to the past and future expectations is gently and gradually being released. Change has become a series of spontaneous movements in the stream of life. :)
— We are not here to find joy…
We are here to be HERE and in it,
… REALIZE that joy is our nature.
The vision for this website has been to share and promote healing wisdom, spiritual knowledge, empowering tools, and practices that can reveal our true nature.

“Changing the meaning that we give to events, circumstances, and creating our own positive inner self-talk are such valuable lessons that can take our joy of life to new levels. I could not put the Fit for Joy book down. It's a true story, that could change your life, maybe forever.”

“Through a practice of awareness and self-love, Valeria consciously chooses to connect to the power of her heart as she embraces the joy within rather than seeking external sources to attain the joy. As an Intuitive Medium and Conscious Creator, her message is in alignment with my own heart-centered practice and teachings. It's time for all of us to step into our power fully, embody a practice of well-being and love ourselves fully.”
~ Shelly Wilson, Intuitive Medium, Reiki Master and Spiritual Teacher
“Fit for Joy is not as much about physical fitness as it is about internal fitness – love and acceptance for yourself.
In the last part of the book Ms. Teles goes deep into her personal journey of self-discovery. She shares her views of heart-based love, of what matters in life.
If you have been chasing external validation, seeking happiness outside yourself, it will be easy for you to see the futility of your efforts.”
— John Chancellor, Author and Amazon Reviewer
