EP 165 - Gina Conway

So where are you business wise now? So I know there's a journey and we all have our sort of backstory, but at the moment you have a premises in South London in an area called Wimbledon.

Yep.

Which is hair and beauty or

well-being? It is hair, beauty and now wellness.

Yeah.

So we, you know, as you and all of your listeners know, you know, we've been looking after people from the outside for many, many years.

You know, I've grown up with our clients.

They now have children.

They are now going through menopause.

They've you know, coming into another phase of their life, and as have I.

And I really struggled with my own health issues and, you know, going through some very difficult times through COVID, you know, so much stress that my body kind of shut down.

Mm-hmm.

And I had to relearn how to look after myself again.

Because as a mother and an employer, you look after everybody else but you.

And then I was hit with the stress of COVID.

And then I was hit with the menopause.

And then it was like...

I needed to heal.

And so I started looking at what we could do, how I could look after myself from the inside out.

And I've done a lot of work with longevity, looking at how my nutrition affects me, hormone balancing.

So I've really kind of taken all of my knowledge.

Once I started kind of putting myself back together and feeling great again, I picked myself up and I and I really wanted to share how I could help people from the inside out.

So now we have a salon that kind of looks after you from every aspect and then also, you know, on more of a cellular level as well.

So really taking that wellness seriously.

and not only making people feel better, but it's also, it was a great business idea, a great business decision to help build that.
