Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

A deep calling to transform the way we think about skincare and wellness. I believe that true beauty and healing happen when we care for the whole person—body, mind, energy, and spirit. Across cultures and throughout history, people have used rituals, energetic practices, and holistic treatments to maintain vitality and radiance. These traditions hold profound wisdom that modern beauty has only begun to rediscover. I believe in harmonizing the ancient with the modern world.

How do you stay motivated?

The deep sense of purpose I feel in building something meaningful from nothing. I am creating a business that reflects my belief in a whole-bodied approach to skincare and wellness—one that supports not only appearance but also mental, emotional, and energetic wellbeing. A huge part of my motivation comes from my daughter and son watching me along this journey. I want them to grow up seeing what a strong woman can do when she believes in her vision and is determined to get there.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest in several key areas to elevate my practice and expand my impact. I would focus on expanding my marketing, improved website and booking, elevating my product line and retail offerings and towards a plan to secure a brick-and-mortar location, creating a dedicated space where I can offer treatments, education, and community-centered connection.
