Hi, I’m Val!

I’ve been coaching since 2010 and have been lucky enough to also compete nationally in CrossFit, Olympic Weightlifting, and Powerlifting. But the experiences that shaped me most were the years spent learning how to rebuild and work with my body, not against it.

Through injuries, chronic pain, body-image struggles, and navigating an autoimmune condition, my perspective on training changed completely. It taught me that strength isn’t just about performance — it’s about feeling capable, confident, and functional in your everyday life.

Today, I help women build strength with an approach that’s supportive, sustainable, and rooted in real life. Whether you’re brand new to strength training or looking to reconnect with yourself through movement, my goal is to help you feel stronger both physically and mentally — without the pressure to be perfect.

If you’re ready to build strength in a way that feels empowering, approachable, and focused on longevity, I’d love to help you get started.
