What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am the owner of Pixie Feet, a wellness center that provides healing with different modalities. Foot Zone Therapy, Reiki, along with different types of Energy work. I help others on their healing journeys by setting a safe and comfortable space where they are free to release and let go of what is no longer serving them. It is my passion to guide, mentor, love, and empower others to find their authentic selves by putting themselves first. Giving them the keys to Unlock their Self-Love. By learning to fill up their Cup of Life with Health & Wellness, Confidence, Positive Self-Talk, and Sunshine. Releasing the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual blockages.
Tell us about yourself
I started my wellness journey four years ago. I was that person who would say "YES!" to everyone and everything. Before I knew it, I was in the PTA. I was a room mom; I was a High School Cheer coach. I was on the Board of Dyslexia for the State of Utah. I was a Girls Scout Leader. I was a mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister, and a friend. I was overwhelmed and burnt out. I was frustrated, I wasn't getting any sleep, and I was not healthy.
One morning, I looked in the mirror and didn't recognize the person staring back. This person looked tired, she looked lost, she had sad eyes, and she was hollow. Blinking a couple of times, I remember standing there as tears rolled down my cheeks. Who was this person? Where was the dreamer? The girl who saw something she wanted and went for it? The sparkly blue-eyed beauty who loved life? As I stood there, unable to recognize my own reflection, I knew that something needed to happen. But what? How do you find the person that was hiding in the dark corner? How do you convince them that it is okay to come out? My mind was blank. Where do I start? I decided that I needed to start with my health. I needed to work on ME! I started the journey—a journey to better health. Not knowing what was in store for me at the time, I dove deep into healing my physical body. What I didn't know at the time was I also needed to heal my Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual bodies.
My husband got ill, and nothing was helping. His liver and kidneys were shutting down. I had a friend who suggested going more of a holistic approach. We found Foot Zone Therapy. After several weeks of Foot Zone Therapy appointments and different essential oil blends, I saw with my own two eyes my hubby go from a pale grey, lethargic, unhealthy man to a tan, energetic, happy, and healthier guy. Then and there, my love for essential oils, foot zone therapy, and holistic medicine was born. I found myself wanting to learn all of the things. I wanted to help heal others the way I healed, the way my hubby healed. I wanted to help others live their best lives.
I found my passion. My passion quite literally set my soul on fire! I knew that this is what I was meant for. I was meant to heal. To heal hearts, to heal bodies, to heal minds, and to heal souls. To give others the tools they need to assist them on their healing journeys. I do this by balancing the body entirely using Foot Zone Therapy, Reiki, Energy, and Essential Oils so that they can live their best lives. I use my hands to help heal a person's physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual body.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Being able to help others heal from the inside out is a beautiful thing. When my clients book an appointment with me, I am excited for them and their incredible journey. Being able to build a business that helps others heal is such a beautiful gift.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Honestly, juggling all of the things. Balance, Balancing work, play, family, and friends has been the biggest struggle. I love my clients, and I love what I do. When your business is your passion, it can be hard to set boundaries and allow the balance to take place.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Listen to your body. Yes, the Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual body! What is it telling you? Our bodies speak to us; we just need to listen.
- Put out what you want into the universe and allow abundance to come into your life.
- It doesn't have to be perfect; you just need to start.
