We had the good fortune of connecting with Tawana Jackson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tawana, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I saw a gap or an unmet need in the health and wellness market that my business idea could address. This opportunity presented the potential for growth and success.

I had a strong passion for the sauna industry I wanted to work with and possessed the necessary knowledge and skills to excel in that field.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m proud of my journey in establishing and running my own sauna boutique. What sets my business apart is our commitment to providing a serene and holistic wellness experience for our customers. We prioritize their well-being and relaxation, offering the benefits of infrared sauna therapy in a tranquil setting.

Getting to where I am today professionally was not without its challenges. It involved extensive research, finding the right location, and creating a unique brand identity. Marketing and building a loyal customer base is a continuous effort, but it’s worth it.

The lessons I’ve learned along the way include the importance of adaptability in the ever-changing wellness industry. I’ve also realized that customer satisfaction is paramount, and excellent service keeps them coming back.

What I want the world to know about my sauna boutique is that we are dedicated to enhancing the well-being of our community through the benefits of infrared sauna therapy. We’re here to provide a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation, promoting a healthier and happier lifestyle.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We might need to improvise or browse through some of the most influential social media accounts to find out what’s currently trending in Durham. There are a few places I would like to try out like Kales kitchen and The Jerk Spot

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’d sincerely like to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported me on this journey. I believe that a divine plan has guided my path, and I simply needed to be open to it, listen to that inner voice, and trust in it. My family has been my unwavering source of encouragement, support, and patience throughout this entire process. They’ve been there from the very start, helping me with my vision, enhancing my social media presence, and more. During the pandemic, I found inspiration in the success stories of others, and that was the catalyst for me to take a leap of faith.
