SPEAKER DETAILS

VALERIE BOREK
 

Valerie Borek is a wife and homeschooling mom of two. With degrees in law and biochemistry, she leads Stand for Health Freedom (SHF) advocates through complex health policy. Her work is guided by faith, family and a love for American values. The home birth of her first son, and all the parenting decisions that followed, jump started her advocacy when she learned what it’s like to pursue health outside of medical and social norms. Her resolve to fight for medical freedom strengthened when her family navigated the medical dictates of pediatric cancer while clinging to their values and incorporating non-allopathic healing modalities. Her son surprised doctors at every turn and is now cancer-free and thriving.

Before SHF, Valerie specialized in health and parenting rights at her boutique law firm. Highlights of her advocacy included fighting for transparent food labeling, and arguing that midwifery is not the practice of medicine at the Delaware Supreme Court.
