Welcome back to another episode of the Scaling Wellness podcast!

Today, we're joined by Venise Dixon. Venise is the owner and founder of Indulgence Health, a boutique wellness practice in Maryland. After a career in engineering, Venise recognized the lack of representation for Black communities in the wellness industry. She trained in massage therapy and started a mobile business in 2007, later expanding into a multidisciplinary wellness oasis in 2014. 

Indulgence Health offers a range of services, including massage, yoga, acupuncture, counseling, and skincare, providing holistic healing experiences. Venise's vision is to create a space of representation and inclusivity for underserved communities, offering services that provide relief from pain, depression, and anxiety.

We delve into:

1. Representation Matters: Delve into the significance of representation in the wellness industry, particularly for black communities, and the impact of creating safe spaces for all individuals to access holistic care.

1. Navigating Growth: Hear Venise's insights on scaling her business, from making strategic hires to cultivating a diverse team of practitioners aligned with her vision.

1. The Role of Business Coaching: Venise emphasizes the value of having a business coach to navigate entrepreneurship. Coaching provided guidance, accountability, and support, helping them overcome challenges and achieve their goals.

1. Managing Growth and Delegating Responsibilities: Venise described her experiences of relinquishing responsibilities, like bookkeeping, and the benefits of seeking specialized expertise to streamline operations.

1. Navigating Financial Matters: Venise’s shift from fear-based decision-making to a more confident and strategic approach, as well as the importance of seeking knowledgeable professionals, such as CFOs and tax advisors, to support financial management.
