Hello! I’m Val, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to Ascending Studio, where I am passionate about sharing the transformative gift of movement with everyone who walks through our doors. From a young age, I was captivated by the beauty of dance and movement, cultivating a lifelong love for fitness, health, and well-being.

My journey took a significant turn during my six years in the Air Force, where I discovered my true passion for helping others achieve their fitness goals. This experience deepened my commitment to wellness and ignited my desire to empower individuals on their personal fitness journeys.

After the joyous arrival of my son, I embarked on my own postpartum recovery, which led me to the incredible world of Pilates. In 2019, I took the exciting step of becoming certified in Reformer Pilates to share this life-changing practice with others. Shortly thereafter, I encountered Buti Yoga, a practice that resonated so deeply with me that I consider it my soulmate workout. Since then, I have expanded my expertise by earning certifications in 200-hour Yoga, Barre, Aerial Yoga, and Deep by Buti, a restorative practice that I love.

Currently, I am furthering my education with STOTT Pilates and pursuing additional certifications in various Pilates equipment to enhance my offerings at Ascending Studio.

My mission in starting Ascending Studio is to help others discover the joy of health and fitness. Pilates and Yoga have profoundly transformed my life, both physically and mentally, and I am devoted to helping others experience the same empowerment and happiness. Let's embark on this journey together!
