Valentina Gaylord is a CEO, founder, entrepreneur, business owner, holistic health and wellness coach, fitness expert, allergy and asthma ambassador, advocate, mother, and author. Diagnosed in 2012 with the debilitating autoimmune disease Bell’s palsy, followed by Hashimoto’s disease, Gaylord launched a decade-long personal crusade to not only save herself but to root out an understanding of and a cure for a disease so convoluted and elusive, few answers were known. Seeking out doctors, naturopathic and hormone specialists, nutritionists, and even mediums, Valentina turned her commonly misdiagnosed ailments into a calling that has brought healing, a growing business empire, and a network of prestigious and like-minded colleagues into the fold of growth, wellness, and what she has branded Whole Body Wellness.

Gaylord has dual citizenship and divides her time between America, London, France, and Malta with her family and children with Olympic Gold Medalist Mitch Gaylord. Her love of the arts, music, theatre, literature, history, philosophy, music, all things romance, and the Mediterranean Sea has made Europe her home.
