We are always in search of the absolute best products and services that we could offer our clients. On this wonderful journey, we have been poked, prodded, manipulated, squeezed, electrified, pinched and sand blasted. As well as have been covered in every product known to man that claimed to make us feel better, look younger and be smaller! We did the foot work, we did the homework and we spent the money in order to be able to bring you products and equipment that are affordable for you and deliver the results your clients are seeking. Andrea learned quite fast that the “build it and they will come” mentality of owning a business the Kevin Costner movie with the baseball diamond in the middle of a corn field. So learning to market her business and teaching others as well has become a passion. “It is not complicated to market your business, but persistent and consistent marketing is the key to the success of any business.” . . . And as you probably already know, your family and friends will only “humor” you and frequent your business for only so long! Andrea’s driving force and passion is teaching Spa and Salon Owners everything she has learned over the past almost two decades. Not only to provide and perform profitable services that their clients will rave about, but to share the exact same Systems, Services and Marketing Strategies that she used to grow her business from one to three locations so other Spa and Salon Owners can do the same. “It is my goal to bring you proven and results driven “in house” marketing strategy systems, services and products that will provide you and your business with everything you need to deliver fast, measurable and visible results to your clients. You will you discover how to bring in new customers each and every month. Simply by implementing these systems into your business you will turn them into happy, long term clients; giving you the satisfying feeling of filling your appointment books week after week.” “Thank you Laura and Grace for the great introduction!” If you would like to read what brought me into this business and why I am so passionate about it, please take a minute or two to read “ During that time, I was many things and “wore many hats” as you can imagine (Brownie Girl Scout Leader, T-Ball Coach, Soccer Coach, PTA, and the house all of my kids’ friends hung out at…so “baby sitter/activities director/car service/therapist) plus I helped my husband build a side business of a hobby store that sold diecast cars, trucks and trains. Although working at a major corporation, money was still tight having four children…so we turned his hobby into a thriving business. I know this took me way longer than it should have, but back then even though I dabbled in the “alternative” and more “natural” remedies, I just didn’t connect that something this awful shouldn’t be seeking a “normal” doctor. Then as I was checking out of the hospital, one of the interns recommended I might want to see a doctor who understands and incorporates both standard medicine as well as alternative methods and suggested I try to call Dr. Peluso who was a Naturopath and worked closely was a Physician/Chiropractor, which was his son. (Sadly, both since have passed, but happily I know they helped many like me regain their lives.) I was advised that I needed a major detox. You see, according to Dr. Peluso as well as the research I began to do, this artificial sweetener actually stays in our body, in our joints, in our muscles, and is just kind of fermenting. (Although if you do a bit of research again, you will find that some state it does nothing and passes through your system. Based on myself and myself alone, I totally disagree.) Although a bit skeptical to think that it was the saccharin that was making me ill (after all the FDA wouldn’t allow the company to make anything that could harm us, right?), as I have known many others to use the “pink pack” that were not exhibiting the same symptoms as me, but then again I didn’t know anyone who consumed as much as me either! In my search, I found different natural remedies that included body wrapping. Most I found used clays or volcanic ash and although seems to work, they were just too messy. Plus knowing that the Epsom salts were simply magnesium and sulfate, which are easily accepted and absorbed into the body through our largest organ, the skin, and believed that magnesium sulfate or Epsom Salt can flush toxins and heavy metals from the cells, easing muscle pain and helping the body to eliminate harmful substances I knew I was on the right track to building on this research.
