About Valerie Federwitz
Valerie Federwitz was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI and earned an undergraduate degree in Psychology from Concordia University – Wisconsin. From 2003-2020 she and her husband David lived in Northern Ghana where they served as missionaries with Lutheran Bible Translators. During this time they also raised their 4 children, who are now ages 15-20.
Having to cook 100% of their food from scratch resulted in several evolutions of her understanding of food and nutrition, which ultimately led to her utilizing therapeutic dietary strategies to help alleviate the chronic pain and symptoms one of their young children was experiencing. After witnessing with her own eyes the power of nutrition to transform health, she was compelled to pursue a science-based education so she could more effectively help others experience the same health transformations.
Valerie graduated from NTI in June 2022 and became Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition® in April 2023. She and her family now live in Concordia, MO where she continues to serve the missionaries and staff of Lutheran Bible Translators in her role as Nutrition & Wellness Consultant.
