MEET VALERIE RICKEL


ValerieValerie Rickel is both the developer of Mandala Soap and the founder and creator of SoulfulLiving.com, a highly publicized and popular internet community and award-winning web magazine. Born into a family of artists, Valerie earned her Bachelor of Arts degree at UCLA and combines her educational background in geography and psychology, her keen eye for exquisite design and detail, and over a decade of marketing and public relations experience into all her ventures. An artist, writer, web developer, marketing consultant, and product developer, Valerie is known by the business moniker, The Creative Soul®.

Valerie was deeply touched and inspired by her father, an artist and philosopher, and in his wisdom, creativity, and spirituality, she found the seed for both her web site and a line of soulful products. The passing of her father and mother and the traumatic events of 9/11 all proved to be catalyzing events from which were born Valerie's passionate interest in soulful living and her intense search for life's meaning. Deeply committed to the opportunities her web site and products have opened to her, Valerie's mission is to share her passion for soulful living and inspire and enhance the lives of others.

Valerie and her website, SoulfulLiving.com, have been featured in numerous print publications, including Carol Adrienne's book, "When Life Changes or You Wish It Would"; Pat Sampson's book, "The Power of Positive People"; Meg Sanders' book, "The Good Web Guide to Mind, Body and Spirit"; Health and Fitness Magazine; Health magazine; The Los Angeles Business Journal; Gospel Today magazine; and UCLAlumni Magazine.
