Clarity, Leadership, and Growth for Every Season of Life
Everyone deserves a roadmap. Whether you're building a business, navigating the ups and downs of parenting, or diving into the real world as a young professional, the LEADS Framework brings you a sense of calmness, confidence, and direction. I help dentists grow profitable practices, guide Half Nesters™ in finding their rhythm, and equip young leaders with the systems and tools to build a strong future. Let’s slow down, connect the pieces, and create a life and career that truly fit you.
Hey There, I'm Dr. Valerie Woo!
Whether you're running a dental practice, navigating the chaos of the Half Nester™ season, or figuring out your next steps as a student entrepreneur, one thing is true: you deserve clarity, confidence, and a roadmap that fits your life.
Dentists often feel pulled in every direction, leading a team, caring for patients, managing numbers, and trying to protect their own wellbeing at the same time. Half Nesters™ are balancing families, aging parents, shifting identities, and the emotional weight of the messy middle. And students are moving fast, building dreams while juggling school, internships, and uncertainty about the future.
I get it because I’ve lived every version of that season.
Over the last 20 years, I’ve built, scaled, and sold a highly profitable dental practice… raised four kids through every stage from diapers to dorm drop-offs… and mentored dozens of young leaders stepping into their first big goals. Those experiences shape the work I do today, helping dentists build thriving businesses, guiding Half Nesters™ to find their rhythm, and equipping students with the tools to launch strong.
If you’re ready to grow, whether it’s your practice, your life, or your leadership, there’s a program designed for you.
And to help you get started, I’ve put together a simple, powerful resource: The LEADS Framework.
It’s the foundation behind all my programs and offers proven strategies to elevate your leadership, strengthen your systems, and create a life and career you love.

Defining traits of the Half Nester™ season
What is the Half Nester™?
A Half Nester™ is someone living in a transitional family season where roles overlap and evolve all at once. Some kids are launching, others are still home. Your identity as “mom” or “dad” stretches across elementary school emails and college move-in day. You may also be navigating aging parents, shifting partnership dynamics, and changing personal goals.
It’s the paradox of holding on and letting go, simultaneously.
Naming it doesn’t fix everything. But it does give you a foundation to work from, and a community to belong to.
