Life certainly takes twists and turns we cannot predict. After 30 years (gulp, I’m aging!) in the technology-consulting field, I find myself launching a completely different type of business. Beth Johnson, forming a wellness company with my dearest friends? I can’t imagine anyone would’ve predicted this, but I’m so happy and energized that it is happening!
When my partners approached me about joining forces with them to make ReSet Lounge a reality, it was important for me to dig deep and evaluate not only the purpose of the company, but also the viability and the potential impact we could have. The idea germinated by two of our founding members, Vicky and Leigh. Both through personal experience and education had identified a general gap in the ease of finding proven wellness services under one roof. Coupled with Beth Rowell’s amazing compassion for her personal training clients and knowledge of the human body, ReSet brings to the world positive energy, passion and knowledge we can all benefit from. Our mission is to provide those services and to keep looking for the best advances in ways to simply feel better.
In my soul searching, my commitment came from thinking about why we all need to ReSet. How about this list for a start?
|
ADD |
Cancer |
High Cholesterol |
|
Allergies |
Chronic Toxin Overload |
OCD |
|
Anxiety |
Cyclical Vomiting |
Ocular Seizures |
|
Arthritis |
Depression |
Suicidal Thoughts |
|
Auto-Immune Disease |
Dependency Issues |
Thyroid Issues |
|
Brain Trauma |
High Blood Pressure |
Torn Tendons |
Not only was this list rattled off quickly, it reflects only the issues I know about for my nuclear family and the families of three of my friends. If I widen my list, simply parents and siblings of this group of 18 people, here is what I could add:
Heart Arrhythmia, Dementia, Stroke, Heart Attack, More Cancer Types, Autism
What resonated the most with me was that the incredibly small subset of people that collectively present with these issues are from one of the wealthiest ecosystems on earth! We have access to whole foods, stellar healthcare, and education to the highest levels. But something is incredibly wrong with our bodies.
The services we are bringing to our community are intended to help with these items; at a cellular level for some and just by equipping our bodies to better handle the inflammation, stress and anxiety that having any of these issues brings. The more research we do as a team about our offerings, the higher I see ReSet’s positive impact can be for us and for our customers.
Also striking me like a lightning bolt was that I am so clearly a primary consumer for ReSet Lounge. My stress level has been so high for over 10 years that my health, my weight, everything... is off kilter. Being a single parent of four boys (through their teenage years no less!), maintaining financial independence, plus launching and growing a successful tech business, has been challenging and gratifying. But it also created so much pressure that I fully understand that I must address this stress and treat my body better, or I will become sicker.
So, what does ReSet Lounge mean to me? A great deal. At this juncture in my life, I am choosing to make a fundamental shift in the way I live. Stress, anxiety and the lack of living in the present moment have impacted my health and overall well-being. I’m excited to team with some of the most amazing women I know to launch a new approach to bringing balance back to life while enhancing mental and physical performance. Thus, the opening of ReSet Lounge!
Life can be hard, so let’s try to deal with it as best we can. I cannot wait to share with you this space and community we are creating.
