Today we’d like to introduce you to Tijana Eby.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Tijana. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Before even starting chiropractic school, I used to work for my family chiropractor in my hometown while finishing my degree at the University of Georgia. I love my work as a chiropractic assistant because I had the opportunity to witness people be happy and healthy and we played a role in that. It brought me so much joy that I wanted to continue that as a chiropractor myself. My Mom would tell you that she knew my whole life that I was meant to heal people with my hands. While in school, I dedicated my studies to focus on working with female patients, particularly pregnant women and those wanting to get pregnant, as well as children.
Once I graduated from chiropractic school, and after a series of unfortunate incidents, I found a small space in Spring of 2012 to share with another chiropractor two to three days a week with friends who became patients. They started to refer their family and friends, and that’s how my practice started growing. I also became very involved in the birth and natural parenting community, connecting with moms, doulas, childbirth educators, photographers, and others.
By Spring of 2014, I took over space on my own and continued to grow my practice exponentially, mostly by word-of-mouth referrals. I participated in many community events, organized local workshops and classes, and continued building my brand. As an extension of my practice, I also decided to become a doula in the Fall of 2014 (certified in August 2015) to better support my clients, in the office as well as in their birthing space. In 2016, I released my line of healing skincare products that include salves, mists, and roll-on oils. The products are made in small batches, with natural and organic ingredients. In the Summer of 2017, just around the time my son was born, I became certified as a childbirth educator.
I like being able to offer my clients a variety of services and products in one place.
Has it been a smooth road?
It definitely was not smooth at all. I started with a tiny budget, a handful of loyal clients, and many hours working and learning. I’ve been a one-woman-show from the beginning, everything from making my own website, creating social media content, networking, and the learning curve was definitely steep at times.
One of the things I’ve learned along the way is to find people who are also creative and passionate that you can network within creating content that is mutually beneficial, like photographers, graphic designers, and more.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the healthyBEing Wellness story. Tell us more about the business.
I am a prenatal, pediatric, and family chiropractor, a birth and postpartum doula, a childbirth educator, and Reiki practitioner, whose passion is to work with families throughout preconception, pregnancy, childhood, and adulthood. I also make handcrafted consciously formulated skin healing products.
I specialize in working with pregnant mothers, children, and young families, particularly ones looking to grow healthy and happy families naturally.
I am most proud of my mission to be able to provide conscious support and education for the families I work with with a variety of services. I focus on their individual needs and not just a cookie-cutter approach. I listen to their needs and their goals, in order to help them develop a lifestyle plan that works with their life.
How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
The natural health and wellness industry has been growing and will continue to do so over the next years. I anticipate that more people will continue to seek alternative methods to healing and improving their overall wellness. The overall consciousness is shifting to taking charge of one’s own health and wellness, and chiropractic care definitely plays a huge role in that.
