Today we’d like to introduce you to Blair Linsley.
Blair, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My business, Cavina Wellness, started in 2022 and holds a special place in my heart. The name is a beautiful blend of my three children’s names: Cohen, Avi and Nash. I discovered after opening that “Cavina” also means “Beautiful Gift from God” in Arabic, which I love because my children are indeed the most beautiful and greatest gifts from God.
I am a Family Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience, specializing in anti-aging procedures. Since launching Cavina Wellness, I have rapidly expanded primarily through word-of-mouth recommendations. I’ve grown from being a sole provider to having five employees and am currently working on building a new state-of-the-art facility in Roswell, GA.
I’m incredibly proud of the success we’ve achieved and owe a lot of it to my biggest supporters—my family and friends. They have always been there for me, and I know they are always rooting for me.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. There have been many bumps along the way, from small issues like not knowing where to start or who to contact for setting up supply accounts, to larger challenges like putting trust in people who ultimately caused more stress than help. Additionally, the medical spa industry can be quite lucrative, which unfortunately attracts litigation. At Cavina Wellness, we go above and beyond to ensure our procedures and protocols exceed the highest standards. However, we still face challenges with individuals seeking quick payouts for experiencing known side effects.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Cavina Wellness?
We’d love to learn more about your work. What do you do, what do you specialize in, what are you known for, etc. What are you more proud of? What sets you apart from others? I’ve seen Botox and other neurotoxins now being offered in places like dentist’s offices and urgent cares. At Cavina Wellness, we specialize in advanced anti-aging procedures and have quickly established ourselves as experts in under-eye filler. This particular treatment requires a highly trained eye and years of experience due to the sensitive nature of the area. We’ve also become known as the go-to place for non-surgical “booty” enhancements, offering results similar to a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) but with less cost and no downtime.
One of the things we are most proud of is our comprehensive wellness program. Unlike many clinics that focus solely on prescribing weight loss medications, we take a holistic approach. Our program includes a physical therapist who helps clients gain muscle or lose weight through proper diet and exercise. We aim to eventually wean clients off weight loss medication by providing them with the tools they need, such as personalized meal plans and recommended exercise regimens. This focus on long-term health and wellness truly sets us apart.
Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
Networking has been invaluable to me since the beginning of my career, and it’s something I rely on daily. It keeps me updated on the latest techniques and trends while providing a support system where I can vent to peers who understand the industry’s challenges. Despite being a relatively small field, I’ve met most providers in my area, and the camaraderie is incredible. Many are genuinely rooting for each other’s success and willingly share best practices, even when they are competitors.
