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

Samsara Wellness is a holistic company that believes in healing naturally. We provide services and treatments that help to nourish your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Anyone who is looking for a holistic way to feel better mentally and physically would benefit from the services Samsara Wellness offers. From facials, body treatments, yoga, reiki, hypnotherapy, and spiritual life coaching, we've got you covered!

Tell us about yourself

I started my career first with esthetics. Wanting to make myself and others happy with their outer appearance and to give them time for relaxation. My passion for helping others grew. Because of my mild bipolar and arthritis, I got into reiki and yoga. I knew what it did for me and how it had helped others, and I wanted to share what I had learned. I believe that when our physical, mental and spiritual state is balanced, we can find peace.

Working with people and seeing how they shift, change and grow continues to motivate me. To know that when they leave a treatment, they feel more relaxed, more grounded, and happier!

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Honestly, every time I see a shift in someone, knowing that I have helped them re-discover who they are, helped them on their journey to what is in their highest good, or brought even a moment of relaxation, I consider that an accomplishment every time!

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

For me, it's finances. Numbers aren't my strong suit, lol. Balancing the books, etc. Although I have much improved! It takes time, practice, and help.

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

  1. Don't overthink it. Nothing will ever be perfect. Sometimes we learn the best through doing.
  2. Be kind to yourself, don't judge yourself. Anyone who has started a company has been where you are.
  3. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is proof of trying. Rome wasn't built in a day.
  4. Ask for help. Asking for help is a brave and necessary thing. We all need help in one way or another.
  5. Don't give up! Things are always shifting and growing. Sometimes we think we know what's best for us, but the universe has another plan. Stay open to receive; good things are on the horizon!

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

We are all on a journey of self-discovery—a journey for peace and joy. Listen to your heart and do what is in your highest good.

Health and Happiness xo
