Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Latrice Bonner

Hi Dr. Latrice, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?

I started my journey in holistic health care in high school where I was afforded the opportunity to take part in a vocational program that allowed me to earn my cosmetology license by the age of 18. While in this program I was able to learn about everything related to healthy hair, nails, and skin, which impacts the overall health of individuals. My educational endeavors continued as I attended Texas Southern University and earned my undergraduate degree. It was during this time that I was able to learn so much from my mentors, advisers, community, colleagues, friends, and family. Attending an HBCU allowed me to grow not only as an individual but as an active member of the global community. I was able to learn a plethora of ways in which things can be accomplished such as health care and holistic options to lifestyle choices. This was when I decided that I wanted to serve not only my community but also my country. 

I enlisted in the Army and began traveling the world. I was able to experience how different cultures were able to utilize natural resources to benefit their overall health and wellness. During my experience as an active duty member in the Army, I noticed that there were several times that I experienced injuries as well as others and our recovery process was vital to perform our duties. Therefore I started to utilize things such as infrared saunas and eventually cryotherapy to aid in the overall recovery process. 

This encouraged me to continue my education and pursue my first master’s degree so that I would be able to couple my experience with the knowledge to continue to help myself and others. I began to transform the basement of my home into a health and wellness environment with an infrared sauna, compression therapy, cold therapy, and chromotherapy. I began to see so many changes in my overall health and wellness by incorporating the daily use of holistic healthcare options. Then, the global pandemic impacted everyone. However, I was able to continue utilizing these resources because they were in my home. My friends and family began to inquire about the holistic health options I utilized during the pandemic and encouraged me to explore options for a brick-and-mortar business.  

After months of research and preparation, I was in a position to acquire the business CryoEvolution and rebranded as CryoEvolution By Dr. B in Atlanta, GA. I was able to incorporate my education and experience to everyone. I believe that the best journey in life is the journey back to yourself. This is achieved by creating an environment that welcomes everyone and allows individuals to take a well-deserved break from the stresses of their busy day to focus on their health and wellness.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?

I believe that everyone experiences challenges at different phases of their lives. Three areas I believe are my greatest challenges would be achieving educational endeavors, systemic barriers, and societal pressures. As it relates to educational endeavors, I was diagnosed with dyslexia in the third grade, which creates challenges that I learned to accept and others I have overcome. I pursued my second master’s and doctorate as a way to overcome my fears of not only reading, and writing but also public speaking. I challenge myself to push beyond all levels of uncomfortableness to achieve a level of knowledge that would advance my field of study while gaining the courage to make tangible changes in society. Now, I have written an entire dissertation and published a book that is in the US Library of Congress. Although I will always find times when my dyslexia may impact a situation, I now know that it does not define or limit my ability to do great things.

The next area where I have experienced challenges would be the systemic barriers that are embedded in society. This could be anything from geographical to racial background, class, gender, and (dis)ability. I believe that we have come very far as a global community, however, there is still more work to be done. Experiencing these situations creates a level of awareness and understanding that I am able to overcome daily. When I encounter one of these situations, I remind myself that I should be the change that I seek to see in the world. 

The last area where I experienced challenges would be societal pressures. At the age of 36, I see that there are so many pressures that society places upon individuals from all walks of life and all phases of life. Therefore, I am reminded of a phrase that my father would say to me as a child. He would say “Live like no one else, so that you can live like no one else.” This phrase has helped to guide me in making decisions that are best for me regardless of any external pressures or challenges that I may face. So if there’s any advice that I would give to someone else it would be to live like no one else so that you can create a life where you will live like no one else.

Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?

My happiness is centered around my ability to utilize the skills, knowledge, and experience that I have to cultivate a life that I love. I believe that happiness is not just one “thing”. You have to work daily to not only protect your happiness but to ensure that it continues to grow. The overarching theme for my happiness is surrounded by self-care, self-love, and the ability to share happiness and love with others. These things allow me to do all the other things in my life that bring joy, love, and happiness to others as well. One of the things that we encourage all of our clients here at CryoEvolution By Dr. B is to focus on self-care. I believe that self-care is not just about the individual but also others. This means that the more self-care you do for yourself, the better you are for others around you. This means that you cannot pour into others, your career, or your personal growth if your cup always feels empty. We encourage our clients to take care of themselves so that they can be the best version of themselves for everything else in their lives. 

A few examples of things that I’d love to do that bring me happiness would be simply going for a walk. Being able to take in the environment around me and walk with myself or with others brings me great joy. In addition, I love to spend time with my family, friends, and my sorority sisters, within my community by doing things that will help us enjoy the world we live in. Simple things in life such as coming home from work and being greeted with a hug or the dog wagging her tail as soon as I walk in the door. These things bring me great joy and aid in my daily happiness!
