Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Leticia Rodriguez, Founder of Khushi Holistic Wellness, located in Aiea, HI, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We help others to heal psychological trauma through mindful - holistic practices such as yoga, meditation, reiki, and more. Our goal is to show a path to a healthier and more fulfilling life. Our focus is to assist service members, veterans, and others included in the military community.
Tell us about yourself
Khushi Holistic Wellness was born after I graduated from my 200 hr yoga teacher training. I decided to combine my eight years of experience as a Behavioral Health Specialist and my certification as a trauma-sensitive yoga instructor. My motivation is to show others in the military community that healing trauma is possible.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is to have the ability to connect with the military community in various ways. I have taught trauma-sensitive yoga classes for the inpatient and outpatient setting for over a year at Tripler Army Medical Center. I volunteer with the Red, White, and Blue and the Vet Center in Oahu.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Finding balance in managing my full-time job and my holistic wellness business. Also offers live classes in different time zones. On the finance aspect, helping clients understand the value of mindfulness services.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Patience. Do not be discouraged if things don’t go your way at first.
- Passion. Show up every day with a full heart, and if you don’t feel that connection, perhaps you need to do a check-in.
- Persistence. Stay focused on your goal, and you will thrive. Don’t forget to be persistent about your own self-care during this process.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
I encourage entrepreneurs to connect with themselves. Learn how to listen to your intuition and network. Be open to connecting with others and support them as well.
