welcome to the wellness by val blog

I’m Val—New Mexico native, licensed Registered Dietitian, board-certified Sports Dietitian, certified personal trainer, and momma to one sweet baby girl. I created Wellness by Val to help busy women, especially postpartum moms, feel strong, nourished, and truly supported through every season of life.

With a background in Exercise Science, Nutrition, and Functional Medicine, plus certifications in pregnancy and postpartum coaching, I bring a science-backed, balanced approach to health—and a whole lot of real-life experience.

I believe movement is a gift, not a punishment. That pizza is always worth loving. And that women deserve to feel good in their bodies—no matter how full their plates are (literally and figuratively).

Whether you’re navigating postpartum recovery, rebuilding your strength, or just trying to eat better without stress, I’m here to walk alongside you. Let’s make wellness simple, sustainable, and even a little fun.
