“I’ve worked with many practitioners in the past, all which were wonderful and professional, but Valerie really took my health (physically + mentally) to the next level. Living many years diagnosed with IBS, I kept eating the same “safe foods” over and over. I rarely ate in restaurants. I didn’t trust food served at family events, which was so hard to work around. When I travelled, I spent hours preparing “safe” food to take with me, it took the joy out of vacation time trying to figure out how to transport all that “safe” food.
I now live essentially symptom-free, and can basically eat what I want, when I want, with the proper knowledge + education around food. Valerie created flexibility and freedom with my diet, changed how I now approach food, and overall improved my entire quality of life!”

“To say I’m feeling “revolutionarily better” would even be an understatement. I initially sought out Valerie because of her holistic approach, and having tried everything else with no success. I just was hoping she could help me with some of my GI issues. Well - the transformation in my health was WAY beyond what I expected. She helped me remedy my gut issues AND THEN so much more…my mood, energy & ADHD was the best it’s ever been even after the first session. I didn’t know I could feel this good, and couldn’t imagine feeling better? Then we did the GI MAP, which was totally revolutionary. It gave me insight that I’d never had before, and now I don’t really get sick…my energy is incredible, I don’t have any gut issues, my mood is so stable…I just feel incredible. I honestly recommend Val to everyone I know. She will change your life.”

“Validated Nutrition changed my life & my relationship with food for the better... I didn’t go to see her with any specific ailments (no IBS, no real food sensitivities) but I have always had what I’d considered to be a disordered and mismatched relationship with food. For many years I dealt with body image issues… somewhere along the line, I stopped trusting my body to know how to fuel and nourish my body.
Talking with Valerie felt different than any practitioner I’d gone to see. I was immediately validated (she lives up to her name!) and shown genuine concern and care for my feelings surrounding food, mental health, healing, nourishing nutrition, and intuitive eating. I’ve been learning to be kinder to myself and honour and trust my body in the process. I’ve learned which foods fuel me with energy and which ones fuel me with joy, and that all of it is okay!! Valerie’s practice is important, clinically and empathically driven, and she has made a positive difference in my life. I no longer think of what foods I need to avoid, but instead find myself asking “what can I ADD to this plate that will nourish my body and give me the energy I need?”

Acid reflux, and so. many. food sensitivities. I just felt like my gut was a mess, and I had no idea where to start…until I found Valerie (literally I just found her from a Google Search!). I was in misery every day, and couldn’t eat anything without symptoms. I felt like doctors weren’t listening. Valerie completely turned everything upside down. I’ve never felt so comfortable with someone (especially talking about poop!), and genuinely cared for, heard & validated. Not to mention - do I live with acid reflux or food sensitivities anymore? NOPE. After the GI MAP…WOW. My gut is the best it’s ever been…I actually have energy now, eat what I want (and now I know exactly what to eat!). She is hands down the best practitioner I have ever seen, and the transformation has been totally amazing. I don’t want to stop working with her!!!

"I feel like I have gained so much insight about my relationship with food since working with Valerie. I continually feel supported to reorient myself in a way that is intuitive and liberating. I no longer feel "controlled" by food, or always questioning/burdening myself with the "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts". Instead, I feel free with what I eat, food doesn't feel complicated, and I've been able to give up so many "food rules". Eating is something that should be intuitive, but for so long it has not. I'm so happy where I am in my journey so far, and Valerie has just made it feel right."
