She was certified in San Francisco at the Ellie Herman Studio and went on to study rehabilitative Pilates with Liz Roman. Her two certifications in yoga, from Cindi Lee’s Om Yoga and Richard Freemans’ Ashtanga Teacher Intensive, have further informed her multi-disciplinary approach to fitness. Val has attended two Teacher Training Programs at The New England Center for Circus Arts.

She currently offers customized private lessons in Pilates for students in the Durango area. Val’s sense of adventure and deep understanding of core control as well as a love of nature and the mountains inspires a unique brand of teaching. When not instructing, Val is a full time mommy to Porter and two dogs Scout and Creek. These three can be found on weekends climbing rocks and flying on bridges.
