Hi, my name is Tina Valdez, and I have always believed our bodies can heal themselves. Having to put my travel business on pause due to covid, I took it as a sign that it was time for me to focus on my health so my body could heal. I wanted to stop the physical pain, depression, lack of confidence, and worthlessness that followed me daily. It was the first time in a long time I put myself first. The changes I experienced inspired me to explore deeper and earn my certification as a health and nutrition coach.
As a mother, travel advisor, gardener, chef, and health and nutrition coach, I am busy and work daily to find time to put myself first. It is a choice that takes practice! I have learned how important it is to incorporate breaks in the day and TAKE THEM. Taking the time to check in with myself, fuel my body with nutritious whole foods, and rest so I can be a better mother, wife, entrepreneur, and friend. It has made a world of difference in how I feel and interact with others, and I would love for you to experience this too! My mission is to assist women in improving their lifestyles with confidence through health and nutrition. I help women release weight, overcome chronic pain, and reverse disease while embracing consistency and sustainable results. It is important to make yourself a priority. Life is too short! |

Hi, I’m Jen Frezon, and am passionate about helping women unlock their healthspan potential through simple changes they can incorporate into their lifestyle. Losing family members too soon made me realize just how precious and limited our time here can be. I don’t just want to live a long life; I want to live an active vibrant life so I can take my great grandchildren to the park to play. It’s the simple things that matter and exposing others to that possibility has become my focus in my second career.
As a former engineer and manager, mom of 3 active boys and wife to a Senior Executive – I was burnt out. I felt as though I had no time for my family let alone myself and I didn’t like what I was becoming. When I began my journey to better health, I became more aware of what the stress and lack of solitude was doing to myself and my family. I made the decision to leave my engineering career to focus on my wellness business and our events venue management giving me time freedom to explore my passions. Now I find joy in helping others begin their lives together and stay healthy and vibrant long into the future. You can find me walking my dogs, creating new healthy meals, trying new workouts, crafting, traveling, enjoying time with my family and curating friendships with like-minded individuals. I love meeting new people and learning from their experiences. Keeping an open mind, continuously learning and trying new things is the key to unlocking your healthspan potential and I’m excited to share that with you. |
