In 2006, I was working in an office…bored and unstimulated, it just wasn’t my calling. I wanted to find something that excited me. My then-boyfriend (now husband!) and I talked all the time about how there had to be something out there I could do, enjoy AND make money at! One day we were getting our hair cut together and chatting with the stylists about my lack of direction. 
They asked me what I liked to do and I said, “Make people happy!”. They suggested I go to beauty school to become an aesthetician. What?? I had never considered that! I was skeptical. Definitely skeptical.
We started doing some research, visited some schools and before I knew it, I was enrolled in a 9-month night program. It was grueling. I worked 8-4:30 at my day job and went to school Mon-Thur 5-9pm, and every Saturday from 8-4. I only survived because I could see the faint glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel!
After I graduated, I spent a few months getting married, honeymooning and weighing my options.
In March 2007 I decided to take the plunge. With my husband’s support, I quit my job and started looking for work in my chosen field. In June 2007, I landed a job at Whole Body Studio. The former owner and I quickly became friends and soon I was not only taking clients, but also running the spa for her. That administrative background really came in handy!
In October 2007, I took ownership of the spa. I brought in a new chemical-free organic product line, expanded our spa menu and brought on a few new service providers. I also made Whole Body my first priority. I felt it was important that I be present as often as possible. I wanted my clients to get to know me and also give a “face and voice” to WBS.
As far as I can tell, it’s working! We celebrated our second year in business last October and are well through a third! We have a brand new website that gives me a place to share with you, and the future is looking bright.
I am very fortunate to be able to live my dream and make people happy on a daily basis. Come and see us soon and let us help you make a beautiful difference in your life as well! -Jennie
