The conversation went something like this…
Marcy : “Hey, I think I found a place for us if you for real wanna start a business together”
Monica : “Oh!?! Where is it?”
Marcy: “The Ottawa Hills Shopping Center, we can go see it this week”
(We proceed to go check it out)
Monica : “Ok yeah, I’m in, let’s do it!”
We had ZERO clue how to run a business. We actually had pretty much ZERO clue about each other, we had never even really hung out with each other.
10 years ago we opened Remedy!
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
We had visions of sugar plums dancing in our heads. We knew how to give damn good massages and we’d just go from there.
Guys, we planned a BIG Grand Opening party. We got all kinds of food, wine, desserts and even we’re raffling off free massages! We told all our friends, family and clients (that we could), we posted about it, we got dressed up and had everything ready for an Open House Grand Opening party!
(Read on, this is where it gets cringey)
NOBODY. SHOWED. UP.
Ok our Moms did but not another soul. No other family, no friends, no clients. Hell, no other nosey tenants even came!!!
We felt SO stupid. We were sweating. And we were stress eating A LOT of food! 🤣
Hopefully, not a sign of things to come.
We’ve had many ups and downs since then but even when things got difficult we never gave up on Remedy or each other.
Other therapists have come, gone, and stayed. Together we changed our modality COMPLETELY from then to now. We moved locations.
Aaaaand just look at is now! 👭🏻
It’s a feat in itself to have survived as a small business and to be thriving but it’s another to have stayed friends and not killed each other by now!
We went from what the h3ll to waitlists and we are so happy to be heeling Toledo and doing what we love!
Thankfully, you kept faith in us and we persevered. We forgive you for not coming to the Grand Opening Party.
🤣🤣🤣
From Monica & Marcy, Here’s to many more! We are so glad to be here and that you’re here !🥂
