Welcome back to YQG In Bloom podcast where I highlight everything that is within the Windsor
Essex County Ontario area, businesses, events, charities, special wonderful people, and I'm
your host Tracy Martens. Now I've always wanted a tummy tuck but sorry it is too expensive.
Trying to get rid of the mom gut, thank you, caesarean section and menopause.
All of those things. Nothing's helped. I have a bad back so you can exercise,
you can do whatever, nothing was working. My friend Marija from Instagram, so cool local,
told me about The Pink Room body contouring and today I have the owner Tara Santini.
Did I say your last name right? Yes, always your name. All good, all good.
So I had never heard of contouring before. What exactly is body contouring? So when we're looking
at body contouring, we're looking at sculpting the body. So we use different modalities in order
to be able to break down fat, we heat the fat, we open up the lymphatic system and then we're able
to drain it. So it goes through the body's natural lymphatic system so we're able to pee it out after
which is always pretty interesting. People always ask where does it go and I'm like in your toilet.
I love that. So it's basically a tummy tuck without the scars. Yeah, exactly that.
And the healing. And no downtime. Now are there side effects to having any of these treatments?
There definitely can be. So we always like to say no downtime but depending on what's going on with
your body, especially when we're looking at women who are going through menopause, who are
dealing with different health issues who haven't been touched in a long period of time, right?
If we think of it like this, if we didn't brush our teeth for 20 years and all of a sudden went to
the dentist, how would we feel? Exactly, right? So when we look at it from a lymphatic inside
perspective, this isn't just to look at on the outside, we all want to. But I like to solely
focus on what's going on in the inside and the root cause of why you're feeling the way that you are
or why your fat cells are holding in certain areas. So when we look at it like that side effect
twice, we can have people who have back diplomatic systems who've never been touched before. So now
if we do too much, they can almost feel exhausted. Now, obviously over time we work with their bodies
and we do a lot of consultation to understand what's going on with their bodies as well. And
some people can bruise if they have any underlining effects as well, which you know. So we bruise,
and it's just because it's our body's natural way of responding, right? So our body's going to heal
itself in the way that it knows to heal itself is that in that moment in time. So when it comes to
a side effect, it's nothing that won't go away. But I do tell my clients, especially ones that either
have just maybe had a baby, we're going through menopause, you're older, I have women who are,
let's say 60 plus who are coming to see me for the first time for lymphatic drainage, fat reductions
can tightening, they can feel very exhausted after and maybe even sometimes bloated for a couple of
days until their body releases. And then they get to feel that energy and that's the great part of
what body contouring can offer you from a natural perspective. Yeah. And I actually loved it. Now,
I had the, it was just the tummy one. It wasn't the size. I didn't do your size. So I do focus on,
I like to bring you in, I like to focus on getting that hourglass figure that everybody wants,
but we did focus on the stomach for you. Yeah. And I do have an underlying medical condition,
AM old. I have menopause and diverticulitis. So there was bruising and a lot of it. And there
was a lot of swelling as well. Nothing out of the ordinary. It was more like, okay, if you went and
ate a huge dinner like after the holidays and it lasted a couple of days. And I was, I was back to
doing up that top button today. And it just took a few days to go down. And I mean, it's your first
time doing it. So I'd love to ask you what was your first experience and the fact that you got to
lose so many inches in your first session. You know what? I lost about four inches. Yes. Yeah.
And it hurt the first day. Yeah. I mean, we did it in the afternoon and I mean, you're going at it.
It's like a workout, right? Yeah. So it hurt after for a bit. It just felt like somebody had punched
you in the gut a couple of times. And then the bruising, which that came and the swelling, but
yeah, it's gone right back down. I don't know if I'm still at the inches, but the weight has gone
back down. So my water weight must be reducing because I've lost three pounds. And I've actually,
like last night I had Japanese food. So that always bloats me and it didn't. So amazing. So
that just means that at this point now your lymphatic system is working better. We're not so
backed up. Your body can actually process things. And I did notice today as well, she was working
the one area, which is your intestinal tract and having the diverticulitis, I found that it helped
that as well, which I was actually shocked yesterday and today is like, oh, okay. It actually has some
benefits other than losing that. Exactly. And that's what I so love about the service is because
we are able to just target so many different internal issues. It's right. Like I said earlier,
we're not just here to make you look good. We're here to make you feel good, to make you understand
this is what's going on in your body. And this is how we can help. Now, not every time with body
sculpting, do you have somebody who's trained in this as well? I've worked in wellness now for
seven years alongside two doctors. They're both chiropractors that I've learned to educate with
them and alongside myself, sorry, and by myself as well. So it really helps understanding, you know,
what our bodies are going through and how we can really fix things from the inside to clear it all
out as well. Okay, so you did training or there was classes schooling that you took? So little
bits I do, I do, I focus every single night, I focus on different topics for myself, especially
because now that I've gotten into my 30s after having three C sections myself, you know, you notice
your body changing, whether that's your hair, whether that's your digestive system. I went
through time over the last six months where I was bloating for the first time and I'm like,
what is going on here? And I was opening my lymphatic system every day, I was doing everything I
know to do. But then that's where you have to kind of deep dive more into what's actually going on.
A lot of that's hormone stress cortisol levels, right? A lot of women deal with that. So I,
with the two doctors that I've worked with, they obviously have very intensive training,
they're both chiropractors and wellness doctors. So what they do with me is we just do training in
office where like they'll test me, they'll ask me questions, we do intensive training when it
comes to supplementation as well for the body and different aspects and for different people.
So depending on what issues you have, I am able to recommend supplements. Obviously I'm not a
doctor, so you have to take it for what it is. But I have educated myself and been educated on
those things in order to be able to help provide a better service for my clients.
Oh, that's excellent. Now, what treatments do you do? I mean, you have a ton of different
treatments. So, so it seems like a lot. I think that a lot of people think about it and get
overwhelmed or they're excited and they want to try new things. So when we look at it from a
whole body perspective, we can do arm reduction, skin tightening on the arms, same with the belly,
you can do it on your back fat, your love handles and your legs, we can do cellulite treatments.
Now we can do a full body lymphatic drainage treatment. So that's just going to kick start
and keep going. And then I incorporate different modalities in order to reduce fat, reduce cellulite
and open up your lymphatic system as well as tighten your skin. So it's pretty easy. It's four
main things that we focus on. It's just every aspect of the body. You can do it and do it
differently. And you also do face. Oh, sorry, face. Yes. My body is. Oh, yeah. Honestly,
the faces, my I always say is my favorite. People always ask what's your favorite service.
Thighs are fun because they're very, very intricate. You know, everybody's got something
else going on in their legs, whether that cellulite you're dealing with fascia, you're
dealing with fluid buildup. There's so many things, but then you talk about your face,
but talks and failures. I'm not going to get on that because I have my own opinion on that,
but it's a really nice alternative to anti aging. So we can use radio frequency technology,
which heats the skin, forces your body stimulate collagen production. And then we're able to do
fat reduction, double chin and cheek contouring and then anti aging all along the face. So
all along here as well. So it's nice. Her face is, I hope you're watching this on YouTube or
a spot spotify video because she does not have any of the lines up on the forehead, but there's no
Botox. Nothing. No, nothing. I mean, so I will say, honestly, you look like you've had very good
filler and people ask me that all the time. I had Botox done one time. I want to say about three
years ago, so it's gone now. So I will say that it's not that I've never done it and filler never.
I've never let filler touch my face. But I do, I have been using the radio frequency and vacuum
therapy on my face every single month, only once a month for myself. But something I've incorporated
every single day that I do like to post about is Gua Sha and roller. Everybody seems to buy
these things, you guys, but I promise I'll help you and I'll teach you how to use it at home.
Yeah. If you follow her Instagram, she actually will send you the video on how to do it. And I
did notice on your homepage, you have the link to your Amazon site where you can buy the Gua Sha.
The products that I like. Yeah. So I like really clean products. I really only, I use Dev Soap.
Everybody has their opinions on Dev Soap. Dev. No, actually, my doctor said for my son who
used to have Xema. Dev free or Dev for sensitive skin has zero perfumes or dyes and it's the best
thing for it. Yeah. Why wouldn't we want to use something just clean? Yeah. So I use Dev every
single day to wash my face. I also, and then I just use like the set of fill moisturizer and a
toner, whichever toner you prefer. And those are my hyaluronic acid. There's so many very
varying opinions on hyaluronic acid, but it's proven to work really well for me. I get probably
three to five people a day who compliment my skin, which I feel like is huge once you've worked on
it in order to get that. Like I will, if you follow me on Instagram, I'm going to do a before and
after of what my face used to look like. I was that kid. I have the dimples with the big chubby
cheeks and I've had that my whole life until the past year when I really got into the Gua Sha and
roller and radio frequency and everything like that. It's all evened out. It's all evened out.
Now, do you use the hyaluronic acid during the day or just at night before?
So I use it in the morning. Generally, when I wake up in the morning, I will, I don't even really
wash my face. I will do, sometimes I'll do the dove. I also really like, they have those little
razors that people use for their face. Oh my God, those amazing. That's a game changer. Yes. Yes.
Your face is smoother. It looks so much better. Everything's, everything can
applicate better. It's just so much better. Yeah. And absorbability too, right? So honestly,
all I do is once a day for my Gua Sha and roller, I wake up in the morning, I'll wash my face. I'll
do my little shave on my face, get it fresh and clean. I do my toner, my hyaluronic acid in the
morning and moisturizer. So hyaluronic acid and moisturizer work together in order to absorb,
right? So that's why I like to do the toner as well. Lots of everything can come together. And
then as my face is wet from moisturizer, I will do my Gua Sha. I prefer the Gua Sha. It's more
intensive. You can really get in there. The roller is also a great option. If you're in a rush or
you're running around the house with your kids, your family or your dog or whoever it is, and you
can run around and go like this. Cause that's what I do. My husband will be like, we have to go out
and like, I need to roll my face. Like this is the thing I have to do. You have to do. Yeah.
That's it. I have to do it. I can't leave or I don't feel right. And then what was that section
thing on your last, the last video? So I just incorporated that. So my weekly routine, I've
been doing it every day because I'm obsessed. So I offer vacuum therapy, which is more intensive.
It's attached to a machine. Was that one attached to a machine? No, that one's not. So that's an
at home one. So that's, so the one that I offer for the anti aging double chin cheek contour,
similar to that, just not. I haven't had that yet. We'll do it. We'll do it. So the, those ones
are great. They're 10 bucks for a pack. You can do it at home and you literally just suction it to
your face and then drag and you can drop it just like I do. So it's a really nice alternative that
if you don't have the funds right now, the investment to come see me, I make it very easy for you
to be able to do it at home and start to get those results before you're able to come and see me.
So why not? Yeah, I'm not going to, you know, I'm not going to hide that information. Everybody
should do it. We all need to prevent aging as much as we can. Now, are those on your Amazon
shop? They are. They're all on there. Seriously looking on there tonight because I want to
learn and I know you also teach on Instagram how to drain your lymphatic. I want to really sit down
and look at that because I know I retain a lot and a lot of people do. And the best part, if you're
looking to even clear out your sinuses or, you know, you're dealing with allergies, you're sick,
like my daughter, for instance. Wouldn't her? Yeah, right. My daughter came home yesterday.
She's complaining of an ear infection. I said, Oh, no, no, no, no, we're going to open your
lymphatic system. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow. Because I think it's another infection. Yeah.
But if you did the opening of your lymphatic system every single day, you would feel the
difference and you wouldn't come across that. She woke up this morning, looked at my husband
and I and said, my ear doesn't hurt anymore because I opened it up twice and it's so easy. We just press
just just along the side here, just put in front and behind your ears here. Oh, so like a V. That's
it. Yep. You're going to push that 20 times. Oh, once a day. I mean, you can do it more if you're
not feeling well. Open it up and then we're going to go right above our collarbone. Oh,
same thing. It curves in. Yes. And you're going to push in there. Same thing 20 times.
Does it matter where or so along the collarbone line, I'll move around. Sometimes I'll go like
this. Just kind of wake it up, right? Like when you think about your lymphatic system,
think about like a moving pipe system that you want to be able to, you don't want your pipes
backed up. You can't have your insides backed up. Exactly. The last step too is you want to do it
under your armpits. So just make sure that you get in there as well. I don't want to get that.
So just make sure you get in your armpits. Same thing. Push 20 times and you can even work along
up here. Okay. And that will help. So I every time before I even touched my washer and the roller
in the morning, opening up our lymphatic system is crucial. But you can do that when you have an
infection. Okay. Getting off the face. Yeah. I have to say this because it was so funny.
I've only been for the one treatment and that was last week, but there was somebody else in there
that was getting their legs and. Oh, they're bummed. Those two suction cups that came out look
like somebody was going to like pump or something. Yeah. They're big. They're huge and it fits.
X, X, L. Oh my goodness. You got a good booty and we can do it. I did notice. It's like I've gained
a lot of weight and I mean everybody knows that I've bitched about it. I'm not going anymore.
But I put on, I put on tights the other day and I looked and I'm like,
why can't I have a J.Lo booty? I finally got some weight. I got some legs going, but I'm
started to do the squats, but it's like my butt went. Yeah. So it's happened to a lot of people.
Yeah, but you think, okay, I finally got a little extra. It shouldn't be there. I know. I know. But
that's the nice part. Honestly. So for the bum lifts, we're not doing anything where it's crazy,
where it's going to stay forever. You're going to have a nice lift if you're actually even looking
to go anywhere. If you've an event that night, it's a really nice service. If not, I do it for
clients who are working out at the gym and they're looking for some shape and some movement
within their bum. So we can do some lift. We simulate the muscles a little bit, but obviously
all of the fat that I drag and drop from your bum into your, sorry, from your legs into your bum,
that is going to end up going through your lymphatic system. People can go and spend the money to
get these treatments done. Yeah. And that's all well and good. But you've also, you also give that
service where you tell them what they need to do in order for there to be any kind of staying power.
Yeah. Cause at the end of the day, you are walking around and you're my billboard. Every single person
that comes to see me is a walking billboard. And I've run my business not on one ad on all
referrals for the past three years. Okay. I've stayed booked and busy blessings to that. But if
I'm not honest, you have to make sure that you're not going to get the results that you want. So
of course, drinking water is crucial. We need two liters of water a day just for everything as well.
And that's one thing that I think really helps even for myself with my skin is water. I do two
liters of water every day. That's what I recommend to my clients. And that is hard. If you're not a
water drinker. Yeah. Well, I do drink water not as much in the wintertime as I do in the summer,
but I've, I graduated up to a little bit over a liter. Good. Yeah. So I mean, I'm slowly getting
up there. And then eventually when all of my clients who started like yourself, when they get to
two liters, they realize now their body wants that they feel better, they feel more energized,
they're not as tired because so many people choose to go to caffeine for energy, not knowing that
caffeine is actually dehydrating your body. Yes. Right. And I have noticed, I will say, I used to
work at Timmy's and I used to work at Starbucks. So it was nothing for me to, because you get all
these free drinks during your breaks and stuff like that. So I was used to between 12 and 15
shots of espresso a day on top of coffees. I could have, have a triple latte before I went to bed.
But now I've gotten down to where I have two Americanos or two coffees, one, just two, one in
the morning, one in the lunch or in the afternoon. And then I have a tea at dinner. And that's it.
And I don't drink pop, carbonation just blows the heck out of me. For sure. But I have noticed my
skin is better. It's still not great. I have to do a change and you'll, and you'll want that.
You'll crave that. Right. And it's like, that's what I tell. I had a woman recently come in,
she wanted to start with me and, you know, she was stealing with different things and she was
eating chocolate with her go to. And yeah, chocolate. That's my go to. Yeah. A lot of women,
right? Like we have those sweet cravings, but if we can find a way to change that, like a simple,
like Greek yogurt, you know, non-fat, I know it's not the best, but you can do some dark chocolate.
You can add some granola into that, right? Like there's some things you can add in to get that
sweetness that you want without it being. Well, I go to Costco and I don't, I'm not sure if it's
called the smart company. I forget what it is. Yeah. It's in the, in their sweet section. Yeah.
But it is a keto brand. It looks like a turtle, but it's with, yes. I've seen those.
Yeah. I'd like the Costco and the things. Yeah. They're, they're pricey. Yes. I'm addicted to them.
Yeah. And they really help with my sweet craving. For sure. And we all have it. I'll look at my
husband sometimes because I've completely stopped buying like that kind of stuff in my house. And
I'm like, I'm dying today. Like I really just want something chocolate cookies, whatever it is,
right? But you're like, no, it's not. It's, I mean, yes, of course, everybody is to enjoy
themself, but every day it's an all worth it. They have peanuts in it. And yeah, I can't buy them
because I'll eat the whole box myself. They're so good. It's like, but they're healthy. I know.
I can say, and I almost forgot to tell you was when I got done that treatment,
I went to get a coffee and it just did not taste right at all. And I came home and I downed probably
about a half a liter of water. I was actually craving it because of all the work that you did.
I couldn't believe that the my coffee tasted like, yeah, your body is like, no, we don't need this
right now. We need water. We need to flush. Yep. So I'm glad to hear that, that your body said no.
I actually, I chose the water that time. I'm glad I'm happy to hear that. But yeah, so I mean,
I know that you had asked me, but really realistically, what I tell my clients is 100 grams of protein
and two liters water a day. Let's get started with that. And then we'll work into everything else.
Unless they're already living a healthy lifestyle, that's simple. Then most people are already at
that point. But the majority of my clientele and what I focus my business on would be 30 year olds
to about 70 year olds dealing with hormonal issues, gaining weight, post baby, whatever it may be. So
we still have to, I know myself, I went through that too. I was very thin in my 20s and then I had
my babies and now I'm this size without doing much work for that. And you do have to put work in,
it's a whole different ballgame. I can't just eat healthy and all of a sudden I'm a twig again.
Right? So that's why I like to deal with women and just really have those honest conversations.
Like I won't touch you until we can get to a point where you're drinking your water and you're
doing what you're supposed to do. You don't realize how hard it is to get 100 grams of protein in.
When you start thinking about it. When you really start thinking about it and I started looking at
it and it's like, damn, this is hard to try and get it. But my chili night, which is good is
it's made with shredded chicken and then I have all the beans and that I have a couple different
kinds of beans. So it's pretty good. But I've gone back to eggs in the morning with carbonot bread.
13 grams of protein for two slices and it's more of a keto bread. Yeah. That's why I'm like those
two things. Right. Right. Like I want you to still be able to enjoy yourself. I want you to get the
results. I want you to live a good, like a fun life. Right. We're only here once. But let's just
look at water and protein and see where we go. Of course we're going to add in the healthy fats.
We can do the avocados, right? Different things, but even like cottage cheese. There's so many
ways you can make things with cottage cheese. I love cottage cheese with berries and cinnamon and
honey. I know. So good. I do too. That's when I have my sweet cravings. I'll go to that, but I
only have frozen fruit right now. So I have my Greek yogurt and vector. I rediscovered vector
cereal because it has a lot of the protein in it. So I add that to the Greek yogurt. Yeah, it's
perfect. Yeah, it is. Now you also train people. I do. Yeah. I've recently gotten into that over the
summer. I decided I had a few girls who were clients of mine who were interested in inserting a new
gig for themselves. It was something I love coaching. I love training. I love seeing those
wow moments with people. I think that is my favorite thing. And as life progresses, I hope that I can
maybe get into business coaching. But for me, training was just something that felt natural
for me. Funny enough, once I got into it, it was actually very, it was very challenging. Yeah.
Because everybody learns so different, right? And I know that because I'm different at how I
learn and what I expect from a trainer. But every single person is so different. And by doing body
contouring, with doing body contouring, there's a lot that goes into every single person that you're
dealing with. Yeah. So when it comes to training, it's not a one size fits all for every single
person's body. So really getting into the nitty gritty of training. Now some people pick up just
like in school faster than others and other people don't. And when you get into training,
I think it's this awesome, there's a really great moment that you get to bond with people.
I have another girl who's a business owner who's a local business owner to me in Riverside.
Her and I became friends. I went to her wedding recently. So she's going to start offering the
service as well soon. So I'm excited for her to start offering that service, especially being so
close to me as well. And then if I'm ever in a place where I can't take on clientele, then I
can just send them around the corner and she'll be able to do that for me as well. So that's great.
Yeah. Yeah. And is it is it very expensive to learn how to do it? So training is $2,500,
but that also includes all of your equipment and your like a month's machines. Yeah. Yeah. So it
includes everything. Yeah. So it's not too bad. Like I mean, I'm in the ballgame of where like the
ballpark of where most people are for training. There's some girls or $3,500, $4,500. It depends.
I wanted to make it available to people who are really interested and want to do it. We're in
economic time. That's challenging for people. So if that's something that you love and you want to
strive for and it's such a small market right now, there's room to grow. Oh, for sure. Right. And
there's so many ways to go towards it. And if you have different backgrounds and things like
you can really take it and run with it. And why not? Because everybody's watching the reality
shows and everybody's looking all perfect and perky and the whole bit. And not a lot of people can
they don't offer it a lot in Windsor-Esteves County and be how many of them can afford it to
maintain that when this is an affordable option. It's a healthy option. And even if you're not
losing as much as you want, you're firming it up and you're draining. And it's preventative aging
as a whole. So it's not, you know, I think that a lot of us think of preventative aging for your
face. But what is it for your insides? What are we doing to make sure that our lymphatic systems
getting cleared out, that we are draining, that we are increasing our blood circulation? Because
what happens when we lose our blood circulation, right? There's a lot of health problems that come
with that. And no one's just sitting on a wall with their legs up, which we should be doing every
single day. To help with that, we're all standing. So now things are happening with our legs, right?
We get veins, cellulite, all these different things. I try not to sit down like this. Well,
I have knee problems. I've had a few surgeries, but I will put my legs up whether they're crossed.
I'm always sitting in front of the coffee table with my legs up. Yep. And in the summertime,
I was doing different things and I noticed my one leg swelled. And it's like, oh, yeah,
not putting it up enough. No. And it's just simple, right? Like we can lay in our bed and just watch
TV and put your legs up. But same thing, like the gosh, unroller situation, we don't think of
how actually easy it is to incorporate that until you do it. And then I did hear you, well,
you hearing you were telling me because I was complaining about my cottage cheese that all
that is is squats. And how many a day do you suggest? Always like 15 in the morning, 50 at
night if you can, right? 50? 50. Yes. I have a lot of time. I know when you have to work out.
20 in a day. But you have to work out just like drinking water, right? That's why everything,
like I want you, I don't like to limit things, right? Because if you put a number, people are like,
I hit 50, done. Yeah. Start with what you can and work up to your best. If you're asking me for a
number, I would tell you 50. Now, if you can get to that or not, that's your own personal
prerogative, right? But start with what you can and keep going every single time because
if you put a limit on anything, then you'll stop. Right? We want to get to the highest
part that we can get to and lunges are a great option as well. Never thought lunges, those are
easier. I like squats better. I actually, I was surprised that I would have a hard time doing them.
I had to hold on to something. Oh yeah. Because you're like lunging. I can do a lunge. I can,
well, that's good. Do you have a teeter-totter when I do lunges? I'm like a squad. I'm like, okay,
good to go. I can do both. Yeah. A lot of people are just looking for that quick fix and they don't
realize that. Thanks, Mark. Yeah, you have to put a little bit of work and we're not even saying
exercise. No, I always like to tell my clients, right? Like 30 minutes of exercise. What is that?
That can be laundry. Going up and down. You know, as moms, as women, we're on the go 24-7. Now,
a man who's going to be different, he'll sit in front of the TV after he gets home from work.
That's what I like to say to my clients, 30 minutes of movement, especially if you sit at your
desk a lot, but why not get outside if you can? Even if you're going outside to rake the leaves
or whatever it may be, get that just movement and that thought in your head of like, hey,
okay, I'm getting some exercise in today. I believe it's just, my big thing right now is I feel like
I've been hooked on it is as women, we need to find ways to incorporate wellness into our every
single day that's going to benefit us in the long run. Make us feel better and it's quick,
because none of us have time. We're all busy. And if you're going to spend the money to have
even these treatments, why not help it along so that it stays? And it's so simple, right? Like I
said to Gua Sha, while you're letting the dog out or Gua Sha, while you're getting the kids' lunch
pail in their bag, like whatever it is, right? You can squat and brush your teeth. You can squat
and wash out. You can, you know, like there's so many things that you can do that are so simple.
It's five, 10 minutes of your day, you're good and you feel like you accomplished something and
you feel better. You feel better because I think as women, we lose that in ourselves.
Yeah. Well, we're taking care of everybody else. Yeah. I love it. We all need a retreat.
I know. And you offer package deals. 100%. Which are really good. Like the package that I'm going
for is the tummy and the sides. But compared to what that is individually, you are giving an
insane deal. I couldn't believe it. I was so the way. Yeah. Yeah. So the way that I see it is, right?
Like if you come for one time, you're coming, you're trying out the treatment, you're not a walking
billboard at the end of the day, right? Like you're not going to talk about the service in the sense.
That first time is pretty rough. So it's hard to give an actual. Yeah.
Yeah. Unless you, I guess I've had clients who've had perfect, amazing first outcomes.
Okay. Everybody is so different. Everybody's body responds differently, right? Depending
on what health issues we're dealing with. Right. But if you don't have that perfect first time,
go for a second time because it does, it works through it. Like don't expect perfection.
That's part of why packages work well. I believe in the pack and doing package deals because
what happens is now we're, we're getting your body moving, you're seeing those results.
That continues a business working relationship with the two of us and you get to hit your health
goals where I'm helping you in that as well. Because at the end of the day, if you do any
service like this once, right, it would be, you just never know what the final outcome could
come, could be for you. So that's why I like to do packages at the discount that I do because
you are a, you're providing me business as well. And I want to be able to give you as much as I
can within a value, value that people can afford. Life is so expensive. We all want people to go to
the gym. We want to be able to have facials. We want to be able to do this, that and the other. Well,
I don't need to gouge your pockets because people in the market see that, say that we should, right?
Like it's not necessary to be $150 a session for a stomach reduction treatment. It's not necessary.
People appreciate that and they appreciate the honesty and the fact that you're, I mean,
I messaged her in a panic when I saw the bruising on the gum. I'm dying here. And she was, you were
texting me every day to make sure that everything was okay and everything was fine. So I would rather,
even if you did charge more, I would rather deal with the good customer service that you offer by
explaining everything. And you know, you got to prepare for it. Start drinking your water,
start eating your protein, and then you're going to get your results. And you being on Instagram
and giving all those hints and tips and tricks and at home, it's worth it. And it's great customer
service. I appreciate it. Customer service is the one thing that I try to pride myself on. I've
worked in sales. I've worked in all different places for the last 20 years of my working life. So
if I couldn't give that, I just, you know, a lot of people miss out on that customer service. You
don't find it anymore. People don't care in the same capacity. And at the end of the day, it's my
name walking around. So I wouldn't, I want to be the best I can be to you and to every single person
that walks in my door. Do you have a website? So, so, so it's called stand store. So it is a working
website. It's just a little bit different. It just, um, yeah, it's a website and it's own,
just certain things are only posted on there. It's not your generic website. Okay. So you can
find out any of the packaging. Oh, yes. I'll lift that. Yeah. So I have links. So the best way to
say that is I've linked to my bio and you're able to book through that as well as my Amazon store
friend. If there's anything that you want to shop and then you're able to look at my stand store as
well. So that's just some little things that I offer as added bonuses that I sell to people.
That's where my training comes into play. I offer ebooks, things like that. And we can find you
on Instagram and it is the pink room body contouring because I will screw it up if I try and say that
three times fast. Yeah, it's a lot. It's a mouthful. And I appreciate you Tara so much. I thank you so
much for coming in today. Yeah, thank you so much for having me. I appreciate it. And I will see you
in two days for my for my session and definitely catch her at the pink room body contouring on
Instagram. Yeah. And again, my name is Tracy Martens. Thank you for joining me for another episode
of YQG In Bloom podcast. Have a great day.
