Recharging Through Connection: How Health Resonates Co-Owner Anna Invested in Growth, Family, and Wellness This Winter

At Health Resonates, we believe that wellness isn’t just something we provide to our clients, it’s something we actively nurture within our own team. Finding time to grow personally and professionally is essential, and this winter, co-owner Anna embraced that philosophy in a truly inspiring way.

A Winter of Growth and Connection

While many of us were cozying up indoors during Maine’s cold months, Anna was busy cultivating growth at Health Resonates. She focused her energy on expanding collaborations with local women-owned businesses, hosting pop-up events, and guiding the team through extensive training programs.

"Our winter at Health Resonates has been dynamic and productive," Anna shares. "We dedicated our efforts to fostering partnerships, elevating our services, and enhancing the skills and confidence of our providers."

Through pop-ups at beloved Portland establishments and strategic training initiatives, Anna set a tone of creativity and connection that will ripple through the spa for months to come.

Training That Builds Confidence and Excellence

One of Anna’s most rewarding focuses this winter was leading the team through specialized training in lymphatic drainage and advanced facial techniques.

"It’s been incredible watching our providers grow into highly skilled and confident practitioners," Anna says. "Seeing their passion ignite through training has been a true highlight of my winter."

These trainings aren't just about adding new services, they’re about creating a spa environment where every provider feels empowered to offer transformative wellness experiences.

Building Community Through Pop-Up Events

Health Resonates’ winter pop-up events weren’t just about showcasing services, they were about building real, meaningful connections.

"The most gratifying part was meeting new people and collaborating with other women-owned businesses," Anna reflects. "There’s something so powerful about supporting and uplifting each other in our community."

These events helped introduce Health Resonates to new audiences and strengthened ties with like-minded wellness entrepreneurs throughout Portland.

Embracing Summer for Family, Self-Care, and Reset

As the seasons shift, Anna is preparing to step back from her onsite role this summer to focus on her most important priorities: family, wellbeing, and self-care.

"We’re planning camping trips, a visit to Martha’s Vineyard with Morgan’s new little cousin, and plenty of beach days," Anna shares with a smile. "I’m looking forward to truly disconnecting and savoring every moment with my daughter, partner, and loved ones."

Aware that her daughter’s independence will only grow with time, Anna is especially intentional about making the most of these precious seasons of family togetherness.

Prioritizing Wellbeing and Finding Balance

Balance isn’t just a buzzword for Anna, it’s a lifestyle. Even during her time off, Anna plans to prioritize daily physical activity and self-care practices.

"My morning workouts at Portland Yoga Collective and Jibe are non-negotiable for me," she explains. "And lymphatic massages have been a game-changer in maintaining my overall wellbeing."

By keeping her own cup full, Anna ensures she can return to the spa energized, inspired, and ready to lead with a fresh perspective.

The Power of Reset for Health Resonates’ Future

Reset periods, like both Anna and Tara have dedicated time to, are pivotal not just for personal growth but for the future of Health Resonates as a business.

Taking time away allows us to come back with renewed passion, fresh ideas, and innovative strategies. This benefits the entire team and helps us continue evolving and leading in the health and wellness space.

By modeling healthy boundaries and prioritizing personal wellbeing, both Anna and Tara hope to inspire their team, and the Health Resonates community, to embrace the importance of rest and rejuvenation.

Advice for Fellow Entrepreneurs Seeking Balance

When asked how she manages to balance business ownership with personal commitments, Anna offers simple but powerful advice:

Set Clear Priorities: "Know what matters most—whether it’s family, health, or professional goals, and let those priorities guide your schedule."

Use Flexibility Wisely: "Entrepreneurship allows for a flexible schedule. I protect time for my workouts because they are essential for my mental health and overall wellbeing."

Her approach is a refreshing reminder that true success isn't just about achievement—it’s about alignment with your values.

What Clients Can Expect This Fall

When Anna returns to the office in late fall, clients can look forward to a revitalized, inspired team, and the dynamic duo of Anna and Tara working side by side again!

"We can’t wait to bring new ideas, fresh energy, and enhanced expertise back to Health Resonates," Anna says. "Our time away isn’t just a break, it’s an investment in the future of our community."
