Valerie DiLuggo

Val (she/her) is a former pastor turned therapist with over a decade of experience in each discipline.

Fun and gregarious, Val is passionate about helping people learn to love and be loved. She offers courses to help women reset for love & date more effectively in the patriarchy :)

16 years into her marriage with Rafick, her silly & sexy Brazilian husband (with adhd), Val has profound and funny insights into loving the neurodiverse humans in your life. (um, Kat is the one to call Rafick sexy--Val thinks it's too. . . immodest? to say that)

She is an incredible friend and deeply values building long term connections.

Many days you can find her having a blast and exploring her competitive side on the pickleball court! She’s cracking jokes and scoring big!

Kat Max

Kat (she/they) is a brilliant artist creating powerful work centering fat bodies. As a former ordained pastor she happily embraces the term “exvangelical.” Deconstructing from her religious worldview eventually led to a radical new relationship with her body and chronic illness, ending a long term marriage, and coming out as queer at the age of 41.

Kat likes to say her body sat her the fuck down and said “we have some shit to tell you!” She began making fat liberation art and talking more about deconstruction from any and all systems that do not serve us.

Irreverent, wise, and quick to drop f-bombs, Kat loves talking about sex and dating as a fat queer femme!

You can even buy a piece of her art for yourself at her etsy shop!
