Meet the Founder: Dr. Vanessa Gavin-Headen
Behind every Valmasi piece is a purpose and that is to celebrate women who deserve scrubs that fit their bodies and reflect their brilliance.
As a retired physician and founder, Dr. Vanessa understands firsthand the challenges of finding workwear that combines comfort, function, and confidence. Her journey to create Valmasi began with a simple truth: every woman deserves to feel valued, seen, and comfortable in her own skin.
“In Swahili, Almasi means Diamond. A symbol of strength and rarity. I added the ‘V’ from Vanessa to create Valmasi a name that honors individuality and self-worth.” - Dr. Vanessa Gavin-Headen, Founder & Designer
