Today we’d like to introduce you to Dajah Barkley
Hi Dajah, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My nursing career has encompassed diverse roles that have collectively shaped my holistic approach to patient care. I began in long-term acute care management, where I developed a deep understanding of chronic health conditions and the importance of compassionate, sustained care. Concurrently, I served as a post-operative nurse, providing immediate recovery support to patients emerging from anesthesia and surgery, which honed my skills in acute patient assessment and intervention. In 2022, driven by a passion for integrating health and aesthetics, my lifelong friend and fellow nurse, Jadeya Graham, and I co-founded The Health Lounge—a luxury concierge wellness and aesthetics nursing company. Initially balancing this venture with my nursing career, I transitioned to full-time in 2024 to fully dedicate myself to our clients’ well-being. Currently, I’m advancing my expertise as a nurse practitioner, focusing on the interplay between internal health factors and skin vitality. Our mission is to empower clients to look and feel their best by integrating beauty, balance, and holistic wellness.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Not at all! Balance has definitely been the biggest challenge. When we launched The Health Lounge in 2022, I was eight months pregnant, and over the past two years, I’ve had two babies while growing this business. Juggling motherhood and entrepreneurship has been a lot—learning how to show up for my family while also making sure my business thrives. There were days I felt stretched thin, but I kept pushing because I knew the vision was bigger than the temporary chaos. Watching The Health Lounge gain so much exposure while navigating motherhood has been wild, but it’s also proof that you don’t have to choose between success and family—you just have to find your rhythm.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about The Health Lounge ?
The Health Lounge is more than just a medspa—it’s a space where beauty, wellness, and balance meet. My business partner, Jadeya Graham, and I launched The Health Lounge in 2022 with the vision of creating a high-end, concierge-style wellness experience that goes beyond just injectables. We specialize in aesthetic treatments like Botox, fillers, and skin rejuvenation, but what truly sets us apart is our holistic approach. We believe beauty isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling good, too.
We take a full-body approach to aesthetics, integrating wellness services like vitamin infusions, weight loss solutions, and skin health treatments that support beauty from the inside out. What makes The Health Lounge different is the level of expertise, personalization, and care we provide. We’re not here to just sell services—we’re here to educate, guide, and help our clients feel their absolute best in a way that aligns with their lifestyle.
Brand-wise, I’m most proud of how we’ve been able to build something that feels luxurious yet approachable. We’ve cultivated a space where high-achieving women can come in, feel at home, and leave looking and feeling refreshed—without it ever feeling transactional.
For readers who are new to The Health Lounge, we offer expert cosmetic injectables (Botox, fillers, facial balancing), advanced skin services (HydraGlow, microneedling, chemical peels), and wellness solutions (vitamin infusions, weight loss support, liquid lipo). Our goal is to help you achieve effortless, elevated beauty in a way that feels natural and completely tailored to you.
What were you like growing up?
Growing up, I was always a mix of creativity and leadership. I loved to draw and express myself artistically, but I also had a natural inclination to take charge—definitely a little bossy at times! At the same time, I had a quiet, introspective side. I was very observant and always paid attention to people’s energy, even before I fully understood what that meant. I could read a room, sense shifts in moods, and I think that’s what made me so in tune with people, which has carried into my work today. I’ve always been a deep thinker, questioning things and looking beneath the surface, whether it was in art, people, or life in general.
