HEY! I SEE YOU! Motherhood, taking care of parents, work… the list is endless. I know you want to do it all. Finding a less stressed version of yourself seems impossible. I get it.

And I know how it feels. Because I was exactly where you are. I WAS you.

Middle age. Mid-life is the invitation you have been waiting for. THIS is the time to embrace you. Yes. There IS a lot going on but this is where you get to shift your perspective. THIS is the invitation you have been waiting on to learn how to lead yourself through this second act.

THIS is the time to take to learn how to care for you. THIS is the time to learn how to manage your stress. You don't need a quick fix but a real life changer to  give you the tools to help make LASTING sustainable change. 


I want you to dig deep and broaden your definition of health because true vitality is more than going to the gym and eating salads. Its learning how to self-lead. Its taking radical responsibility for your own happiness.

I want you to learn how to love your amazing body because it has carried you this far. I want you to learn how to trust YOU again and have tools for self-leadership that you know how to make your own wellness decisions. 

If any of the above rings true, I want you to know you are NOT alone, and you are not crazy. 

For the last 10+ years’ I have coached and trained mid-life women to stop neglecting their own needs. As behavioral change and motivational techniques’ specialist, it’s my mission to help busy, middle aged women feel more empowered and less overwhelmed by supplying them with tools that help bring more balance, vitality, self-trust and GUSTO back into their lives!

But this certainly hasn’t always been my path.

I grew up in a small town in North Alabama. I picked up some bad habits and had no awareness in regards to my health. And I definitely hadn’t heard of meditation or yoga! I went through a lot in my thirties and forties and eventually hit rock bottom - physically, mentally and emotionally. Burnout anyone?!?

Looking back, the one thing I needed most at the time was someone to challenge my thought process and help me realize that I cannot pour from an empty cup. 

Which is why I now teach women just like you how to love themselves, manage stress levels, change their relationship with food and most importantly, how to set healthy boundaries and incorporate self-care into their busy lives. So that you don’t end up burnt-out, miserable and struggling with your health like I did. Mid-life is your time to SHINE! 

Hi, I'm Valerie.

I’m so glad you stopped by. 

get to know me

"I wanted make sure that I was on the right track with my diet and exercise. As it turned out, I found that I had so many emotions going on, I wasn’t doing what I wanted to do! Val was able to help turn my thoughts into action. I opened my own business Stretch Zone in February 2022, and opening 2 more soon! So glad I worked with Val."

- Kim

"Yoga with Val has helped my flexibility and my state of mind. Valerie’s classes are fun and challenging, and she always motivates her clients to be their best selves."

- Laura

“Valerie helped me heal my relationship with food. I was determined I wasn't going to  have excuses ANYMORE! Now I have the tools to deal with any feelings of overwhelmed, and not let my urges rule me. I stay curious which has helped me quit judging myself which led to taking piano lessons, voice lessons, even a little karaoke! She listened to me and instead of forcing me into a pre-prescribed program, she urged me to listen to my inner voice and challenge any negative thoughts.”

- Lavonda

“I lost 20 pounds and happy to say at age 52, I received a great checkup from my physician. She provided consistent encouragement & helped me set realistic goals. She helped me improve my stress levels, giving me the energy I needed to focus on my job, moving, and getting married!”

- Mary Beth

"Yoga with Val has such a positive impact on my physical and mental wellbeing. Her method is perfectly balanced so that you get a well rounded workout without overdoing it. Her positivity is contagious and she inspires me to take care of myself so I, in turn, can take care of others."

- Michelle

“I had all the tools to be healthy but when COVID hit, I was overwhelmed and stuck. I decided I needed support and I asked for help. I needed a plan I could sustain. Valerie validated my feelings and gave me the encouragement I needed to to reach my goals I set for myself. I am a Mother and a Grandmother so staying active and healthy is important to me, so I can be there for them.”

- Ashley

“I was in crisis mode and needed her help. I needed refreshers on time management, tools to help me get centered and quit beating myself up! Valerie helped me get out of crisis and on a forward path mentally and physically. Valerie challenged me to pursue my passions, leading me to step out and take a new job!”

- Kelly

“Living these years healthy for my grandkids is everything! I needed accountability because life was overwhelming between retiring, death of loved ones, & COVID. Valerie helped me stay emotionally and weight conscious during the hardest part of my life, so I can be there for the ones I love.”

- Mary
