We were lucky to catch up with Valentina Bain recently and have shared our conversation below.

Valentina , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

Growing up, I faced numerous chronic health issues. From a young age, I underwent countless tests, but the medical community struggled to pinpoint the root of my debilitating health problems. During the first chapters of my life, I often felt in pain, lost, and unsure of my future.

Despite these challenges, I discovered a passion for fashion and began modeling in hair shows, print ads, and runway events. My chronic health issues made everything more difficult as my weight and energy levels were unstable, my gut was in constant pain, my skin was very broken out, and my confidence was non-existent. Still, the excitement of the fashion world drew me in. At 18, I decided to pursue this passion further by moving to Paris, believing this was the direction my career would take.

However, a transformative moment occurred during my first job at a gym the summer before my move. Surrounded by a vibrant community of health-conscious individuals, I was struck by their unfamiliar levels of energy and positivity. The trainers, instructors, and clients embodied health and happiness, and I witnessed profound transformations in their lives. This experience opened my eyes to the world of health and wellness, revealing that it was not only crucial for my own healing journey but also sparked a newfound passion within me.

This realization marked a significant shift in my life. I began to explore the mind-body connection and its impact on overall well-being. Although I continued my studies abroad and embraced life in Paris, the seed of passion for health and wellness had been planted deep within me. This ignited a 23-year journey to becoming a practitioner in various modalities, including: CranioSacral Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique, EmotionCode, NLP, Hypnotherapy, Sports & Neuromuscular Massage Therapy, Reiki, Functional Nutrition, Functional Testing, Functional Genomics, among others- basically the more I’ve learned, the more I desire to keep learning to put the pieces to the puzzle of powerfully healing the body together for myself and others.

Throughout this journey, I’ve reclaimed my health and had the privilege of helping countless other individuals do the same (including my four children). This experience has taught me that there is always hope for healing, it is not a linear journey, and the resources are abundant. I surprisingly found my purpose at 17 years old in a gym- I will spend my life empowering and equipping others to uncover their own unique paths to optimal wellness.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

My own journey to wellness has had many twists and turns. I struggled with chronic fatigue, hormone imbalances, and thyroid issues for years before becoming determined to find the root causes. I dove deep into integrative medicine, studying everything from epigenetics to mindfulness. By uncovering the interconnected sources of my imbalances, I was able to heal myself at the root cause level.

This led me to devote my career to precision health and helping other women rebalance their bodies. I now combine advanced DNA analysis with customized protocols to help clients optimize their wellbeing. My specialty is guiding women to balance hormones, increase energy, sharpen mental clarity and reclaim their health vitality.

What sets me apart is my whole-body approach. I look at the big picture of lifestyle, environment, microbiome, genetics, and past history to create personalized solutions. I’m proud to go beyond just symptom relief and instead empower my clients with the tools to transform their health for life.

I’m also passionate about blending ancient wisdom with breakthrough science. My programs fuse mindfulness, emotional release work, and nutrition with advanced testing and precision strategies & supplements.

My decades of experience both overcoming my own challenges and guiding thousands of women gives me a wealth of compassion and expertise. I want anyone who is struggling to know that vibrant health is within reach! I’m honored to walk alongside them on their journey back to balance and joy.

If you could go back, would you choose the same profession, specialty, etc.?

I can definitively say – I would not change the path that led me here. Discovering my passion for integrative health and helping others has felt like finding my purpose.

My personal journey with chronic illness fueled my determination to get to the root causes of imbalances. By diving deep into areas like epigenetics, mindfulness, and the microbiome, I uncovered solutions that transformed my life. Helping other women do the same now feels like my soulmate career.

Guiding clients to better health allows me to utilize my gifts for compassion, active listening, and solving complex puzzles. When your work involves continual learning, growth, and service, every day truly feels like a gift.

I’m fulfilled getting to understand clients’ unique needs and create customized protocols for them to reclaim their energy and vitality. And I’m honored to empower others with the tools to take charge of their health for life.

Discovering your passion and purpose is the ultimate sweet spot. When you get to do work you love, that helps others, and that you’re naturally good at – that’s when you know you’re on the right path. I feel endlessly grateful to have found my soulmate career and to keep learning and growing within it each day.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

There are two key strategies that have been highly effective for growing my clientele over the years.

The first is leading with authenticity. I believe when you share your true passions, gifts, and story, you naturally attract clients who align with your mission. Leaning into what makes me unique has allowed me to create programs and serve clients in an authentic way.

The second effective strategy has been collaborating with other like-minded businesses. I love partnering with those who also empower their clients but have complementary offerings to mine. This provides additional value for my ideal clients while organically exposing each other’s audiences to what we do best.

For example, teaming up with a physical trainer who focuses on nutrition and movement allows me to focus on my specialty of hormones, metabolism, and holistic protocols. Our collaborations work beautifully to fill gaps for clients in a way no single practitioner could do alone.

When you come from a place of openness rather than competition, there are limitless opportunities to work together. These partnerships have been invaluable for growing my business and making a bigger impact. I’m grateful for the authentic connections and mutual support!
