What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business is Green Door Sound Bath, which provides sound baths for individuals and corporate groups. It is a great way to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Provides great sleep quality and mental clarity and resets and restores your nervous system, where we trap many unresolved emotional issues.
Tell us about yourself
I was so inspired to start my business because my husband and I were going through a round of IVF, and I was stressed and anxious beyond belief. I had never dealt with anxiety and wasn’t sure how to handle it. I was going to therapy, acupuncture, and working with a fertility dietician, so I thought that I was taking the right steps to deal with the stress of IVF. But nothing helped me the way hearing a sound bowl did for the first time. I immediately felt like myself again, and the anxiety melted away. I knew at that moment I had to create my business to help others deal with their stress and anxiety.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Working with Amazon consistory for two years. Bringing sound baths globally to many different teams within the organization. Sometimes playing for groups of over 200 people!
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Wearing so many hats is tough being a business owner. Every day brings new challenges, and it really shows you what you’re made of.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Be passionate about what you are doing.
- Dedicate all the time you can to grow your business.
- Trust the process.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Sound baths have so many benefits, but my favorite part about them is that they are a passive form of therapy. Nothing is required but laying down or being seated and listening to the sounds of the bowls. The sound waves travel into your body, locating any energetic or emotional blockages you may be having and bringing them to the surface so they can be removed. It is a beautiful way to access your subconscious and heal.
