About the host
Hosted by Valerie Kerste
I'm a blissful imagineer who finds joy in creating beautiful, meaningful experiences. Born and raised in the charming coastal towns of Monterey and Carmel, California, I developed a deep appreciation for fine gardens, timeless architecture, and thoughtful hospitality.
I spent the first 18 years of my adult life serving as a Registered Nurse in various capacities throughout Sacramento, California. Since relocating to Richmond, Missouri, I’ve joyfully redirected my passion and energy into personally designing and developing beautiful housing, lodging, and amenities—bringing a touch of magic, beauty, and comfort to the local community.
