Origin Story

It has been a long time since I have told the story of how/why Above Average Wellness came to be. Actually, I am not sure that I have ever fully told it and I am ready.
I am going to be sharing the posts I shared on Facebook over the next few weeks talking about everything that has transpired to get us to where we are today.

I am starting with this photo from our wedding November 12, 2011, because the night before, was when things really started with me in business.

My entrepreneur journey started way before that, with a tiny nail salon at the age of 16 but I don't think you need me to go that far back... so here we go.

It was November 11, 2011. I was staying at my parents house, as you sometimes do the night before your wedding. We were struggling financially and that night before I went to bed I prayed. "God, the Universe, whoever you are out there, if this is what I am meant to be doing, I need a sign, I need it to work, I need to be able to make a living, and I cried myself to sleep, hoping that my prayers would be heard.

At the time, I only had my Ideal Protein business and I was operating in a tiny room inside salon, actually it wasn't even a room, it was a cubical. The owner of the business was so kind to help me our and support me, but I knew if it was going to work, I needed something more.

The next morning, we had our hair appointments at that Salon... I saw clients with curlers in my hair... on the morning of my wedding, I think that was the action that really had the universe know that I meant business.

More coming soon.....
