We recently connected with Anna & Mark Miller and have shared our conversation below.
Anna & Mark, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Is there a heartwarming story from your career that you look back on?
We met through a mutual friend’s yoga class in fall 2021 and quickly realized we’d be on the same yoga retreat that started two days later. We ended up bonding during the retreat and have been together ever since! While we were both on separate spiritual journeys at that point, they soon melded together with our practices of yoga, sound healing and tarot reading. Fast forward to now and we have created a business from our practices that has been such a joy to watch grow in our community.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
MARKANNA Wellness was founded through a mutual passion for what we call the spiritual arts. Our brand encompasses yoga, sound healing, tarot reading, meditation and Reiki practices. We teach and host events at a local studio here in Oklahoma City called Studio on Western. We enjoy bringing these experiences to our community and have a big focus on accessibility. We partner with local organizations that host us and provide a free experience for the participants like Myriad Botanical Gardens and Metropolitan Libraries. Our sound bath meditations have been described as “transcendent” and allow individuals to bring more awareness to their minds and bodies. We also enjoy doing tarot readings together for individuals and couples. We can customize a mix of our services to meet the needs of our clients. We appreciate the opportunity to be a part of our community’s holistic healing and wellness journey.
Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?
Having our own consistent practices with the services we offer and consistently being present in our community. We have seen other people doing similar work be active for a time then disappear. Our consistent events and presence in the community has given us more credibility with our audience.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
We have been active volunteers for many different nonprofits in our city, primarily focused on event planning. The people we’ve met and the skills gained from our community service has allowed us to introduce what we do to diverse groups that help support us. Organizations that may have never done anything similar to what we offer are open to it because they already know and trust us. On the other hand, our participation as students at many local yoga studios has allowed us to gain more connections and support amongst the yoga community. We have attended several yoga retreats and are preparing to host our own as well. Our reputation has been built by consistently showing up and learning from those around us.
