Essential Living Matters

I haven’t known Valerie for very long. I have taken a few of her cooking classes at Pro Active Strength Training. It was evident in our first class how passionate she is about cooking, but as time goes on I realize how caring and passionate she is about LIFE.

I really appreciate everything that you have done for me. You have changed my health and how I eat. I’ve been training for 2 marathons and it’s was my first 1/2 marathon since we started working together and I, actually, did my best time ever!  So thank you and I am sure that I will do even better at the Boston Marathon next year!

“Val you have been amazing! You’re always available when I have questions. I thought I was going to have to live with IBD forever but you proved that wrong. I live your holistic approach- using food to heal. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion with me. I feel better than I have in a long time.
Thanks for everything!”
