Small Business & Non-Profit Secrets to Success: Astre Wellness
Better treatments in a bigger office
When Tonya Millions Fitch opened the Astre Wellness medspa in Macon, Georgia, she was afraid.
“If I said I didn’t have fear, I wouldn’t be telling the truth,” she said.
Still, Fitch knew that it was within her power to help people. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she noticed that her father, a Vietnam War veteran, was dealing with chronic pain. As a former anesthetist, Fitch realized she could help ease his symptoms through intravenous (IV) hydration treatments. Now, Astre Wellness provides that service for anyone in the Macon area.
“Normally, people take vitamins and minerals by mouth. But any time you take something by mouth, you only absorb 30–40%,” Fitch said. “With IV hydration, I completely bypass your digestive tract, start an IV and give you those vitamins and minerals intravenously. That way, your body will absorb 100% of what your body needs. That’s why people feel better almost immediately after an infusion.”
Astre Wellness also employs an esthetician, so customers can both feel and look their best after a single appointment. However, the medspa’s original 650-square-foot space wasn’t big enough for both women to operate effectively. Now, Fitch is moving Astre Wellness to a beautiful 3,000-square-foot office. From cleaning supplies to keep the medspa spotless, to free standing chalkboards to write down wellness treatments, Walmart Business can help keep the space fully stocked.
“Being an entrepreneur will test your faith,” she said, “and no one else believes in your dream like you do.”
