About Releasing Health, PLLC

RELEASING HEALTH PLLC is a functional health and wellness consulting practice founded by Dr. Valerie A. Mills, RN, BSN, BCNHP, CEWC — a registered nurse, board-certified natural health practitioner, nutritional endocrinology wellness coach, and certified expert wellness coach with a passion for helping women understand what their bodies have been trying to tell them.

All consultations are offered virtually, meeting you where you are — in every sense of the word.

Dr. V doesn't believe in one-size-fits-all wellness. Every client engagement begins with a thorough assessment — a conversation between you and your body — and builds from there. Whether you need functional lab review, nutritional endocrinology coaching, lifestyle support, or faith-rooted restoration, the path is shaped around your unique story.

Where Science, Faith, and Whole-Person Wellness Meet

Rooted in both clinical nursing experience, life experience, wellness coaching, and nutritional endocrinology training under Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo's framework, Dr. V brings a rare blend of credentials to every consultation. Her approach goes beyond symptoms — asking not just what is happening in the body, but why, and what it needs to find its way back to balance.

Our Mission

To walk alongside women who have spent years pouring into everyone else — and help them finally understand, support, and release into their own health. We believe every woman deserves access to personalized, knowledgeable wellness support that honors the whole of who she is — body, mind, and spirit.

Why Releasing Health Exists

Too many women have felt dismissed — in medical offices, in wellness spaces, even in faith communities — told their labs are "normal" when nothing about how they feel is normal, or offered spiritual encouragement without anyone addressing the body underneath the burden.

Dr. V founded Releasing Health, PLLC to be a different kind of space. One where the whole woman is assessed, addressed, and anchored — where science and soul are not in competition, and where your questions, your history, and your faith all have a place at the table.

Dr. V also serves as a dietetic nutrition consultant through Iredell County Hospice and Palliative care referrals. As a minister and faith-community educator, she naturally weaves biblical wisdom and contemplative spiritual practice into her work for those who welcome it. She is a co-author of The Image in the Mirror: Stories of Faith, Hope, and Overcoming Adversity, author of Born in the Smoke, and has been featured as a speaker at functional health conferences, including Clinical Autoimmune Case Studies through Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo's Reinvent Healthcare.
