What Is Mindful Wellness?
A Safe Place To Start Your Journey Towards Holistic Wellness
A safe place to start your journey towards holistic wellness. Mindful Wellness is a holistic, spiritual approach to whole body care. We believe in the interconnectedness of mind, body, and soul, and we're here to help you discover that connection so that you can take control of your life in a truly mindful way.
Our Mission
I work with my clients to get in touch with our body’s needs through each season of life, equip them to be self-aware, and to provide a supportive environment that enables you to articulate and achieve your goals.
Our Vision
I believe in a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means looking at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole - beyond the body, truly seeking to bring balance to important elements of your life. We all have the potential to change our lives and I would love to guide you on that journey.
Intuitive Transformational Life Coach
Meet The Founder Valerie
I am here on this earth to empower women who are struggling with anxiety and overwhelmed with emotions. I created a specialized program using Reiki, Hypnotherapy and other holistic and clinical modalities to equip you with tools on your journey of healing. You have the power within to heal, I am here to guide you on that journey.
​
After the birth of my son, I struggled with anxiety and later developed Melanoma. This shook me to my core - knowing I needed to make some changes, I embarked on a spiritual journey to help my body heal. I attended school for health coaching taking courses in mindfulness, meditation, heart centered body work and more. As I began to discover my potential to heal, I hungered to gain the knowledge to help others. As a holistic health coach and Reiki practitioner, I teach you to take the power back into your hands. I will personally guide you to making simple health-promoting adjustments that produce real and lasting results.
My Philosophy
I believe in a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means looking at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole - beyond the body, truly seeking to bring balance to important elements of your life. We all have the potential to change our lives and I would love to guide you on that journey.
My Background
I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition where I learned innovative coaching methods, practical lifestyle management techniques, and over 100 dietary theories – Ayurveda, Gluten-Free, Paleo, Raw, Vegan, Macrobiotics, and everything in between.
​
My education has equipped me with extensive, cutting-edge knowledge in holistic nutrition, health coaching, and prevention. Drawing on my expertise, I work with my clients to help make lifestyle adjustments and choose health-promoting ways that produce real and lasting results. You will develop a deeper understanding of food and lifestyle choices that work best for you, improving your energy, balance, health, and happiness.

Integrative Nutrition Health Coach

Reiki Master & Teacher

USUI RYOHO REIKI
After completing IIN and understanding more about nutrition, I knew it was time to dive into soul, energy level healing. I started training in Usui Reiki right before the pandemic hit. I honed my skills during the pandemic with clients all over the world. I am continuing my learnings in an apprenticeship program with Lisa Campion and bringing my clients a whole new world of healing with this knowledge.

Heartmath is the study of the heart coherence. Science shows us that the heart has a larger electrical
biofield than the brain. Understanding the heart and brain connection will help you become a better
meditator and become more mindful and in tune with your body.

Connect With Valerie & Start Your Healing Today
Finding your path in life has never been more difficult. What once felt like a straight line towards success can become a zig zag of missteps, roadblocks and second guesses. The reality is, there is no set path that works for everyone. We all have to figure out what’s right for us by navigating our own way through uncharted territory. Our brains are designed to help us survive in the moment but if we’re not careful, struggling with anxiety, stress and feeling like we’re stuck can build over time until it becomes overwhelming
I know you have the capacity, the ability and the power to achieve your dreams, goals, purpose and desires! My mission is to bring more balance, peace and harmony into your life - through experiential therapy that empowers YOU to reconnect with who you really are.
