IFBB Bikini Pro · Coaching women since 2016
The strongest version of you is still ahead.
Holistic 1:1 coaching for women 35+ who are done with yo-yo diets, and ready to build real strength, confidence, and a body that lasts.
My coaching philosophy
We start where you are, as you are, and build your foundation from there.
Looking and feeling amazing starts with the basics most coaches overlook: hormones, sleep, stress, and daily habits. I factor all of it in, because that’s what makes progress sustainable.
Every program is tailored to your life: optimized hypertrophy training, nutrition that fits how you actually eat, and the mindset work that makes it all stick. The clients who succeed usually aren’t the ones with the most time. They’re the ones who build habits and show up for themselves every single day.

Meet Val
From 1-year postpartum & insecure to IFBB Bikini Pro & coach to hundreds.
I didn’t fall into coaching. I earned my IFBB Bikini Pro card in 2018 after years of competing, and I started coaching because I kept seeing women work incredibly hard and get nowhere, because their programs weren’t built for them.
Today I work with women 30+ who are serious about building real strength, improving their body composition, and finally feeling confident in how they look and move.

Women who bet on themselves, and won.
Hit play to hear it straight from the women doing the work. Then read more of their stories below.
More progress in 11 months than in the past 10 years. I've built confidence on the gym floor — but more importantly, within myself. I feel strong on the inside and outside thanks to Val.
She raised my 1,168-calorie diet to 1,600 right off the bat — and I actually started losing weight. Not only losing weight, but gaining visible muscle. I'm grateful for her coaching and her friendship.
The three months I've been working with Valerie have been life changing, literally. She helped me transform my body more in that short time than I ever have in my life.
An all-around amazing coach — her programming is easy to follow yet challenges me, and she is nothing but kind, encouraging, and incredibly motivating.
After 12–16 weeks my bloating, SIBO, and extreme hunger started to dissolve. My hormones calmed down and my body started to lean out. I learned to really listen to what my body needs.
Transformations
The proof is in the people.
Real clients, real consistency, real results. Built sustainably, not through crash diets.
