We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Talaina Wright a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Talaina, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?

Earlier this year I went on a solo trip to Africa. This was major to me because I would be navigating an unknown place alone. Of course, I had a lot of people concerned for me which is understandable but I knew that this was a divinely guided experience. See, I thrive off of experiencing and I knew I had to take the adventure to Africa for myself. When I was there I encountered different cultures, people, foods and music. Which made me appreciate diversity even more. Because I trusted my intuition the trip was a success and confirmed how divinely protected and guided I am.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?

I am Talaina, a womb + reiki practitioner + the owner of Chosen Bath & Body, a natural skincare and wellness company. I provide holistic healing through skincare and integrative modalities such as reiki and hip bathes. My skincare targets sensitive skinned individuals. This is because I have eczema. My eczema has impacted my life tremendously through my confidence, mental health and experiences.
For that, at the age of 18 I became more invested in my skin and its triggers. So I stopped using all skincare products that I couldn’t understand from the label. This pushed me to create my own skincare products that are 100% organic and heal my eczema.
Though I created amazing products I knew to fully understand my body I needed to heal my body from the inside out. This is when I was then introduced to reiki. Reiki is a full body energy cleansing. As a practitioner I initiate Chi into one’s body to restore love, health and the essence of that person. Being able to share my gifts has created balance, generational healing, forgiveness, gratitude and shifts in me and in my clients lives.

Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?

The most effective strategy for growing clientele has been following up. Everyone enjoys a sense of connection. So I take the time out to chat with potential + existing clients. I do this through the information I collect from my mailing list. I start off with an email follow up then SMS to have more of a personal interaction. Depending on the client they will call to inquire about my business or book with me, which is greatly appreciated.

When speaking to a client I try not to over complicate my interactions. I ask about them and their goals so I can assist them better. This allows me to use my expertise to create a treatment plan for an optimum healing experience.

My advice to any entrepreneur is to listen. If you have people who have shown interest in your company and you have yet to follow up. The time is now. Get to know your target audience because once you do you will have an increase in client interactions and sales. Just be you and they will follow.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

My authenticity + values have helped me in the wellness market. As someone who works with energy I understand how important it is to have an authentic personality. I enjoy showing up with just vibes, no expectations, just vibes. When I show up in this manner more doors open up for my highest good.

I have accomplished tremendous opportunities by simply enjoying the human body experience and taking in the lessons and releasing all doubts about myself. I tend to pride myself on understanding and innerstanding that we are all reflections of each other, and I make sure when I encounter anybody

I represent my top values : unconditional love, peace + balance. By contributing my authentic self + values I have created success in Chosen Bath & Body Inc.
