​



​From Rare Illness to One Love with Nicole Valan​


Published on July 22, 2026



Some of life's greatest journeys begin with challenges we never saw coming. Nicole Valan's story is proof that resilience, community, and a willingness to embrace change can transform even the most difficult circumstances into a life of purpose.


In this episode of Conversations with Rich Bennett, Rich and co-host Tammie Wingrove sit down with Nicole Valan, founder of One Love Mind Body in Aberdeen, Maryland. Nicole shares her incredible journey of living with a rare metabolic disorder that changed the course of her life, how yoga became her path to healing, and why she created a wellness studio focused on meeting people exactly where they are.


You'll also learn why yoga is much more than stretching. From aerial yoga and children's yoga to chair yoga, prenatal yoga, breathwork, and sound immersions, Nicole explains how mindful movement can improve both physical and mental well-being for people of all ages and abilities.


In this episode you'll discover:



  •  How Nicole overcame a life-changing rare medical condition 

  •  Why yoga is for everyone, regardless of flexibility or fitness level 

  •  The benefits of breathwork for stress, anxiety, and everyday life 

  •  How community can become one of the greatest healing tools 

  •  Why "meeting people where they are" can change lives
