Today we’d like to introduce you to Melanie Douglas.
Hi Melanie, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My mother was a cosmetologist and as a young teen, I worked along side her as a shampoo tech and assistant in Birmingham, Alabama. I always admired the confidence she gave women by making them look and feel beautiful.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Dealing with my personal challenges such as being a single mother of three, being a caregiver for my father, whom is a disabled Veteran and recently dealing with the unexpected death of my mother, made me realize that life is too short for me to work to make someone else’s dream a reality. I had to start investing in myself. Like many young people, I struggled to try to find a way to monetize my passion. I started my career in the medical field and did everything from being a front desk receptionist, Medical Assistant, Laser Technician, Nursing and co-owned my own weight loss clinic. Through dealing with patients at the weight loss clinic, I begin seeing the challenges that many Americans faced dealing with lifestyle changes to maintain their weight loss. This is when I decided to merge medical and esthetics to create Mel’s Medi Spa.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
My vision with Mel’s Medi Spa is to provide a holistic non-surgical approach to weight loss/weight maintenance and overall health and beauty. I specialize in full-body skincare. Many of my services improve the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks and other skin imperfections. My extended services include body detoxification (body wraps, foot detox and infrared sauna), body cavitation, vacuum therapy (pain relief, sinus drainage and inflammation). Waxing, teeth whitening, massages, brow enhancement and vaginal health and rejuvenation through yoni steam.
How do you define success?
By achieving different obstacles and goals. Despite the situation. Just by staying determined and focused. My success is driven by my angel and inspiration my mother, Ruth Douglas, who is in heaven watching over me daily. My children for giving me the motivation to work towards building a legacy. My friends and family for always supporting me and my vision.
