Today we’d like to introduce you to Haley Woods.
Hi Haley, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Briefly , I am in recovery for 15 years now .
I own a Pet Spa in spring branch that my husband and I started 8 years ago , we love being around animals and providing a safe space for them , after 13 years in the industry we learned alot about the “wrong” things that were happening in the pet industry and our mission is to do the opposite.
During my journey , I’ve found Yoga and Meditation/ Sound Healing, which was a pivotal moment in my healing journey . There I learned how to find balance and incorporate more healing modalities for myself and my business .
That led me to where I am now , a private sound healer , yoga teacher , meditation instructor and small business owner .
3 years ago I added teaching to my portfolio and have since started hosting healing events all over Houston , offering services like Sound Baths , Community circles and other offerings .
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
My first response to this was a laugh because , it absolutely has been bumpy .
Starting a business at a young age had a lot of lessons for me to learn along the way . But with grit , resilience and educating myself we are moving swiftly on an upward path .
No one tells you about the physical and mental toll running a business has on your body , especially for someone trying to create a completely new life in recovery . Not to mention all the in’s and out’s of paperwork, filing and licensing.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Paw-radise Pet Spa / Life of the lotus flower ?
In my Pet Business we are known for one on one care with each pet , providing compassion and individuality to each client .
We set ourselves a part by offering a one on one based service for pets giving them time to open up and become comfortable with the grooming experience.
I am most proud of the quality and care we provide , we make sure each client is treated fairly , with respect and love .
As a Sound Healer / Wellness teacher I set myself apart by offering a unique experience for humans , giving them space to be themselves without any limitations or judgement.
I offer modalities that have helped me with struggles of anxiety , panic attacks , PTSD and just dealing with everyday life .
It’s important to me in all my endeavors that individuals feel seen , heard and respected and I offer that in everything I do .
What matters most to you?
Life matters . Living a happy and harmonious life matters to me , we are all conditioned to put ourselves to the side to accommodate schedules, tasks , duties and responsibilities and I feel a lot of people get lost along the way trying to find true peace and happiness .
So if I can make it a little bit easier for animals and humans to have a little bit happier life , that’s important to me 🙏🏻
