Today we’d like to introduce you to Valerie Remhoff.
Hi Valerie, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I have been a holistic practitioner for over 20 years. My journey began with a desire to better understand the techniques and modalities that were having such a profound impact on the health and well-being of my own family. What started as a personal pursuit quickly became a passion, and I fell in love with energy work and the holistic approach to healing. Since then, I have remained a lifelong student, continually expanding my knowledge and skills. In 2015, I co-authored a book on advanced Reiki practices called Dynamic Healing.
Over the past few years, I have focused on deepening the spiritual and lifestyle support I offer within my practice. During that time, I earned a PhD in Metaphysics and became Board Certified as a Doctor of Holistic Health. The designation reflects the philosophy of “doctor as teacher,” supporting and educating clients as they take an active role in their own health and well-being. It has been an incredible season of growth, and I am grateful to bring this expanded knowledge and experience to my clients and students through new modalities, programs, and opportunities for healing. It has truly been a whirlwind—in the very best way.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
One of the biggest challenges of running a solo practice is trying to balance caring for clients with managing everything that comes with running a business. Like many practitioners, I’d much rather spend my time connecting with clients and continuing to learn and grow in my field. But marketing, bookkeeping, website updates, and all the behind-the-scenes work need attention too.
I’ve learned that when my to-do list starts to feel overwhelming, the best thing I can do is lean on people I trust who genuinely enjoy the parts of the business that don’t come naturally to me. Not only does everything get done more efficiently, but the results are often better than I could have achieved on my own. Having the right support allows me to spend more time doing the work that matters most: caring for my clients.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Butterfly Holistics?
Butterfly Holistics is a place for growth, connection, and healing. Through private sessions, group programs, and training classes, I support people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, stressed, or simply looking to create greater wellness in their lives. My sessions blend specialized kinesiology, energy work, naturopathy, and spiritual guidance to help clients feel heard, supported, and restored. Together, we support your body’s natural ability to heal by releasing stress, easing physical discomfort, and restoring emotional balance.
Over the years, I have worked with hundreds of women who have struggled to find themselves while navigating the competing demands of past experiences, societal expectations, and the many roles they hold—as partners, mothers, caregivers, professionals, and individuals. Somewhere along the way, their authentic selves often become buried beneath the needs of everyone else, leaving them feeling exhausted, disconnected, and emotionally depleted. Again and again, the same themes emerge: low self-worth, difficulty setting healthy boundaries, neglecting self-care, and challenges with self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others.
Seeing these patterns inspired me to create more opportunities for women to heal in community. The Women’s Healing Circle is a welcoming space for women ages 18 and older to show up authentically, feel supported, and grow at their own pace. It offers meaningful connection, reflection, and healing in an environment that is safe, compassionate, and empowering.
Coming in early 2027, I will also be launching a Women’s Wellness and Empowerment Program. This in-depth holistic program is designed to take participants on a guided journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth, building on the foundation created in the Women’s Healing Circle. I have created a waitlist for women interested in being among the first to receive updates and information on early bird pricing.
Whether you’re looking for one-on-one support or hoping to connect with a community of like-minded women, I’d be honored to support you along the way.
Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
I believe some risks are absolutely worth taking, but they need to be thoughtful and intentional. For me, a risk is worth considering when the potential benefits outweigh the possible challenges and when the decision aligns with the life you’re trying to create. If the potential cost is greater than the reward, it may not be the right risk to take.
For me, one of those risks was going back to school after 20 years in practice. I had to figure out how to balance running my business, keeping up with school, and being present for my family. It felt like a lot to take on, and there were plenty of moments when I wondered if I had made the right decision. I didn’t need the education—my clients were already happy with the care I was providing. I simply wanted to deepen my knowledge and expand the ways I could support the people who came to me. Of course, I also wondered, What if I never use what I learn? What if I don’t enjoy it? What if I can’t keep all the balls in the air?
It was a lot of hard work, and there were definitely times when balancing everything felt overwhelming. But looking back, it was absolutely worth the risk. It expanded my perspective, strengthened the knowledge I already had, and gave me new ways to support my clients. It wasn’t always easy, but it reminded me that we’re never finished learning, and I’m so glad I chose to take that chance.
