Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Pam Kudlowich, founder of Root Healing and Nutrition, located in Toronto, ON, Canada.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I am the Founder of Root Healing and Nutrition, a Holistic Health Practice that incorporates healing from the inside out. My clientele is women over 40. I work with them to optimize their health and help them age well. I help my clients overcome cravings, fatigue, weight gain, aches, and pains and reduce stress. I do this by incorporating nutrition, inner balance, physical activity with the mindset, and goal setting.

Tell us about yourself

I had my own health issues with pain and inflammation. I found that a more natural approach helped to alleviate my symptoms. I started to make better choices with the food I ate, learned how to deal with stress from my work, and I made sure that I incorporated physical activity several times a week. I started to see vast improvements in my health. My own health issues allow me to understand and emphasize with my clients as I have made the changes that I am working with them to make. I studied to become a Holistic Health Practitioner, which taught me how to balance the body energetically and how to incorporate natural approaches to health. I also found myself being drawn toward nutrition during these studies. Once my course was complete, I enrolled in Holistic Nutrition. This is when the idea for Root Healing and Nutrition started to develop and has become a reality over the past year and a half.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment as a business owner was starting my business during the pandemic. The time was chaotic, my partner was working the frontlines in a hospital, and we had also become first-time parents. The ability to turn my passion into a business while dealing with all kinds of other firsts is something that motivates me to move forward constantly move forward, personally and professionally.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

The hardest thing as a business owner is ensuring that you take time for yourself. When you are an entrepreneur, you are always thinking and strategizing about the next thing that can propel your business forward. You need to make sure that you have some time to recharge.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Have perseverance - Owning your own business is full of ups and downs as you figure out what works and what doesn't. The ability to keep moving forward even when you think you can't will help grow your business more than you can imagine.
  2. Define your ideal client - When you know who you are developing products or services for and the issues you are trying to help them with, it will make it easier to market those services.
  3. Make a plan - When you outline what you are going to do and how you are going to do it, it makes it easier to take that next step forward.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

I think Winston Churchill said it best "Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." Regardless of how many failures you encounter, always taking the next step forward with the enthusiasm and passion you started with will be a driving force forward.
