Hi, I’m Elyse Badewitz

I’m here to help you transform your spa business into the thriving, profitable and fulfilling venture you’ve always dreamed of.

As a spa coach and consultant, I know firsthand what it takes to build a successful spa because I’ve done it myself.

I started my journey as a licensed Esthetician in 2008, and by 2014, I opened my own spa. Since then, I’ve grown from working solo to leading a team of over 20, with 35,000 clients through our doors, over 500 glowing five-star reviews, and the incredible honor of being named "Best Spa" in 2024 by the Nashville Scene.

Here’s what I know: spa success isn’t just about making money—it’s about building a business that brings you joy, supports your lifestyle, and takes exceptional care of both your team and your guests. Whether you want to step out of the treatment room or stay right there, I’ll show you how to create a business that works for YOU.

I’m all about helping spa owners grow professionally and personally. I bring my passion for the spa industry, creativity, and a deep understanding of the business side to guide you every step of the way. Let’s build a spa that not only makes money but brings you happiness—and yes, it’s possible to have both!

Ready to take your spa to the next level? Let’s get started on your seven-figure spa journey!

From Passion to Burnout: My Journey

When I first started my spa business, someone asked me, “Well, what if it fails?” Without hesitation, I responded, “It won’t.” And I was right. The business didn’t fail—in fact, it thrived. But along the way, I made a critical mistake: I prioritized the success of the business over everything else—my personal happiness, my family, and my physical and mental health.

The result? Burnout. I poured everything I had into making the business work, but I left nothing for myself. I learned the hard way that success in business means nothing if it comes at the cost of your well-being. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping other spa owners avoid the same trap and find the balance between building a successful business and living a fulfilling, happy life.

Balancing Creativity and Business

Numbers aren’t for everyone. A few years into running my spa, I realized I had a superpower that set me apart from most in the industry. While I loved the creative, Esthetic side of things, I also had a passion for the numbers—my financials, bookkeeping, and all the behind-the-scenes details that many spa owners struggle with. I thrived on building protocols, crafting policies, writing manuals, and creating marketing materials.

I understand that many spa owners excel creatively but feel overwhelmed when it comes to the business side. That’s where I come in. I’m here to guide you through the process, making the business side of things as smooth as possible so you can focus on what you love while building a thriving spa.

Or maybe the creative side isn’t your strength at all. You thought owning a spa would be fun and fulfilling, but instead, you feel disconnected from your team because you’re not a professional in the industry. It’s hard to lead when you don’t feel like you understand the heart of what your team does every day. I’m here to give you a safe space to talk, learn, and get honest feedback about what this industry is really all about. Whether you’re struggling to connect with your team or just need guidance on the inner workings of a successful spa, I’m here to help you bridge that gap.
