Client Success Story: How Shirley Regained Her Energy, Strength, and Confidence at 72



Date Posted : December 9, 2025


When Shirley first connected with us in March 2024, she was looking for support, guidance, and answers. Her energy was declining, her digestion was unpredictable, and she felt like her health was slowly slipping away. She knew she didn't want to continue down that path and she was determined to feel better.


What followed over the next year and a half is nothing short of inspiring.

Early Wins: "My energy level is coming back."

Within just a few weeks of her first appointment, Shirley began noticing encouraging changes:

  • Her energy started improving,
  • Belly inflammation went down,
  • Digestion became more comfortable,
  • Gas and bloating eased,
  • She felt supported and hopeful for the first time in a long time.

She even started sharing recipes she loved, including homemade hemp milk which quickly became a staple for her.

"I feel like I saw Valerie at just the right time before things went downhill too far," she wrote. "I am very grateful."

Shirley immediately began referring friends, her chiropractic team, and even family members because she felt so strongly about the process and the results.

Building Strength and Immunity

By November 2024, Shirley noticed a big shift not just day-to-day energy, but how her body handled seasonal stressors.

She shared that she felt more resilient, more balanced, and better able to "bounce back" when exposed to viruses. She also began feeling strong enough to do full days of activity, such as craft fairs, lunches out, shopping, and social outings.

"For my age range, I am doing really well. I am very grateful to Valerie because I wouldn't be without her help."

A Year of Transformation: Increased Energy, Improved Digestion, and New Confidence

Throughout 2025, Shirley's progress continued to build.

May 2025: Understanding Her Body More Deeply

Shirley began exploring environmental factors affecting her health, including potential sources of heavy metals and household exposures. She felt empowered, informed, and equipped with the right tools to support her wellness, something she said she had been searching for.

She also noticed improvements in circulation, vein comfort, and shoulder inflammation.

"Working with Valerie has been the best decision for my health."

June 2025: Feeling Amazing Again

By June, Shirley described herself as feeling "absolutely amazing."

Her energy was high, her urinary tract health had been stable for a long time, and she continued to feel stronger and more capable each month.

"I certainly didn't feel like that on my very first appointment."

Keeping Up With Her Grandchildren — Something She Never Thought Possible

One of the most powerful parts of Shirley's journey came in October 2025.

At 72, she spent four full days keeping up with her two energetic grandsons, ages 7 and 9, swimming, parks, open gym, and full days of activity.

"There's no way I could have kept up with them 24/7 without Valerie's help… I'm so grateful for the strength and vitality I now have."

This moment was a turning point, a reminder of what restored health can truly give back: connection, joy, and confidence.

A Journey of Trust, Learning, and Transformation

By late 2025, Shirley reflected on her entire experience:

  • Her energy was strong,
  • Her digestion was healthier,
  • She felt supported and guided every step,
  • And she appreciated having a customized plan that truly moved her forward.

"I first met Valerie in March 2024 at the Fraser Valley Wellness Show. I was so grateful to have become her client. My health was declining quickly at 72. Thanks to Valerie, I now have great energy, a healed gut, and no medications. Her passion shows through at each visit. Health is wealth."
