Today we’d like to introduce you to Adriana Rodriguez.
Hi Adriana, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers.
I began my business as a form of self-care for myself when I was a full-time student, part-time caregiver, only child, working mom, and wife. Being an only child my mom’s condition, known as Huntington’s Disease, which is a neurological disorder worsened which caused me to put my life on hold. I was giving so much of myself and running two households, teenagers, and being a career caused Caregivers’ burnout. I searched for a trade that would incorporate into my fitness and mental health journey but also helped give me purpose and something I could do part time from home. I began body sculpting and wood therapy, which helped me lose inches, and make extra money. I would go sit in the sauna late at night after caring for everyone and sometimes cry because the person I loved so much was declining, and I knew there was nothing I could do to cure her. I continued working from home for a year and a half and caregiving. I realized there was so many people like myself during the pandemic that became caregivers without a choice, there are mothers who always care for others and never have time for themselves. I knew my journey and life’s purpose was to help others learn to care for themselves. In June I found a brick and mortar to create a Self-Care Sanctuary. My husband believed in me and pushed me every step of the way and is one of my investors as well as my children. Without them there would not be a NANI, they stayed late nights and put in so much work like painting, moving, putting together shelves, and advertising. I decided to add an Infrared Walk-in Sauna with Chromotherapy to relax and detox, wood therapy, and body sculpting services to help lose inches and kickstart our wellness journeys, an Oxygen Bar with aromatherapy to help with stress, Organic Vegan Tanning for an extra boost of confidence, and Yoga & Fitness Classes for our mental health. I am always looking for other ways to help destress and escape life for a moment. I am excited to recently have added a massage therapist and esthetician to services offered and try to teach people that self-care is not selfish. You owe yourself the love that you freely give to others.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has not been a smooth road I still juggle my business and family. I am the admin, supply girl, marketing department, and business owner. The hardest part is discovering my audience and who my services are for. I truly believe that everyone can benefit from all of the services that I offer.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
NANI Body Bar Self Care Services specializes in Body Sculpting, Wood Therapy, Walk -In Infrared Sauna with Chromotherapy, Oxygen Bar with Aromatherapy, and Vegan Organic Tan. There are many Body Sculptors in the Dallas area to choose from. When you choose NANI, you are offered a one-on-one and I truly develop a relationship with my clients to help them in their journey of self-care. I truly always try to set myself apart from others and focus on self-care. It is great to work on our physical body, but it is important to work on it as a whole. Our mental health and soul matter and affect us tremendously. I want my client to be able to improve their stress, refresh their soul and work on the physical parts as well. I have created a sanctuary where you can walk in with a load of stress and walk out feeling lighter and brand new. I work with a massage therapist and an esthetician who have recently added their services for a spa-like oasis.
What do you like best about our city? What do you like least?
I love Duncanville because since it is small and I have met so many entrepreneurs who want to see me win, who want to work together and help each other who have successful businesses. They always give me advice and go out of their way and truly have genuine hearts. I love that I know the owners behind the businesses who are just like me. We all want to see our small city grow and thrive. The hardest part about my city is sometimes small-town politics can cause separation and sometimes there is a limit to how many people I can reach out to, but I never let it stop me.
