Helping You Feel Better - Earth's Natural Defense
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Teresa Cover, Owner of Earth's Natural Defense, located in Hastings, MN, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am a Certified Natural Health Professional. I work with clients who know something is wrong but are not getting answers anywhere else. Their test come back normal, and some have been called a hypochondriac by their physicians. As a naturopath, we work to understand and fix the root cause.
Tell us about yourself
I was the sickest in my life at 32. I suffered from asthma, allergies, bronchitis, COPD, skin conditions, and TIA's. I never received the help I needed in western medicine to fix these issues. I learned that everything they could do for me was a bandage but fixed nothing. I searched and researched and started to find real fixes through natural medicine. I am pleased to share that I take no medications today, and it has almost been 30 years.
I started working towards my credentials so that I could help others. I now have many degrees and certificates in natural health. I work with people in person or remotely to get to the bottom of their root causes so they can feel free of discomfort.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest and best accomplishment is helping my clients feel good again. Nothing is more rewarding than getting phone calls saying how much better they feel. I get the second best call when people say, "who would have thought that increasing my water would help so much." The opportunity to help someone makes me get up every day with a great attitude. I look forward to meeting the next person I can help achieve great results.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Building a clientele is one of the most challenging things about being a business owner. It takes time and client trust to work in the natural health arena.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Don't give up.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help and guidance from peers.
- Slow and steady wins the game.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
I would like everyone to know that your body has an innate ability to heal itself. If you give your body what it needs, it will heal and repair. You can live a life free of many discomforts you may feel now.
