HER STORY ⟡ Evan Allen
Today, we are meeting Evan Allen with Pause Studio Tanglewood!
Why I started
After receiving an autoimmune thyroiditis diagnosis in my late 20's and realizing that my symptoms could only improve so much with medicine, I turned to wholistic and natural remedies to help feel my best. I also struggle with anxiety and finding ways to help manage it has been a game changer. I have always been a huge health and wellness enthusiast, and opening Pause was the perfect fit where I could truly help others feel their best, reduce stress, and take time for themselves. It seemed as though all of my hardships in life have led me to open Pause, and it is right where I am supposed to be!
What I love about being a business owner
I love having creative control (for the most part because we are a franchise). Corporate gives owners a lot of freedom to be creative. I love that I am working with partners that feel like family. I love that I get to make the rules - my hours, hire the people that fit with me and my values, and set the culture I want and think a business needs to have. My top priorities in life are my two girls, and I get to make sure that still happens by making my work schedule around them. I get to be home with them after school as well as be at all the sports games, shows, and regular life things that I don't want to miss.
What type of impact do you hope to have
I truly hope I can change people's lives for the better. I hope that I can give them extra energy to soar through their week. I hope I can help people reduce stress and feel more calm moving through their day. I hope that I can help people's bodies physically recover quicker and more wholly. I hope that people find our studio to be a sanctuary, a place for a little bit of "me time" to help them conquer the world.
What inspires me
Honestly, helping others and being a light in the world. If I can provide a safe, calm, beautiful place for people to escape from their busy stressful lives for a couple hours and take care of themselves - I have succeeded.
Favorite quote
Do not be anxious about anything. But in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ. Phillippians 4: 6-7
What does Beauty mean to you
Beauty means being kind to others and loving yourself. What advice would you give your past self - Trust yourself and your intuitions. You have a good head on your shoulders. What would you like BB members to know? I am so happy to be a part of this community and can't wait to be friends and see you the studio!
