Some True Thoughts from Our Founder
Danielle
Executive Coach & Owner
We Meet You
In the Arena
We are all in the arena of our lives. Not one of us is “skating” through. When we talk about our Vi clients, we sink into the truth that they are crawling through the arena of their lives. At times, they are downright, blood marred and dusty reaching for a moment of peace. If a client has a second to take for themselves, it is a gift and what they do with it is precious.
We strive to be the place that a person thinks of when they only have a moment to think. We know that you have so many to love, and so many to take care of and if you allow yourself to think of yourself or to spend money on yourself, that it is a big deal. For some, we must speak love to ourselves to even make the appointment; for others, we know the truth that we need to put our own oxygen mask on before we can love others best. Wherever you land, we think showing up to your self-love minutes is extremely important. We plan to meet you in the arena of your life, to allow you a minute to set down your worries, calm your nervous system and take in the intentional care that we provide.
At the beginning of this year, we are not chanting “new year, new you!” We are whispering “we will meet you” while we take your hand and remind you of the best parts of yourself. We will reflect on some of your favorite things about you. We know that when you leave, you will be back in the arena, on your own, facing all the things and we feel privileged to be by you and to serve you while you are here. Right now, Vi is adding so many yummy treatments, some that focus on regenerative health and others that focus on skin health or saving your time in the mornings to focus on the people that matter most in your life. This month, we’re spotlighting two services: Permanent Makeup and Bliss Max Regenerative Wellness & Lymph Movement.
Take our hand and we will walk along side you as we go. It is an honor to serve you.
With Gratitude,
Dani

Feature of the Month
Permanent Makeup at Vi Beauty Lab
A space built with intention and held with care
Valerie
Certified PMU artist specializing in lip blushing,
microblading and combo brow techniques.
Permanent makeup at Vi isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about honoring how you already move through the world. It’s about subtle enhancement of what is already so breathtaking, your eyes and your lips. Every stroke and shade is placed with intention to soften your mornings and bring ease to your daily rhythm.
We know that Permanent Makeup can be a big choice. Each experience at Vi, begins with a thoughtful consultation where we listen deeply, guide gently and create intentionally. Our Valerie does a temporary mockup so that you can see exactly how your results will look and most importantly—so your results feel authentic to you.

- Temporary Mockup
- Full pre- and post-care guidance

This ensures your results feel personal, natural, and aligned not only with how you look, but how you live.
Wellness is not just a word, it’s a way
Bliss Max Regenerative Health & Lymph Movement
Dianna
A licensed esthetician with 7+ years of experience, specializing in results-driven, customized skincare with a calm, supportive approach.
True health thrives when the body flows freely. We are electric beings and our bodies need to move for our cells to regenerate. Bliss Max therapies at Vi support detoxification, immune function, inflammation reduction, and nervous system balance through advanced lymphatic movement technology.
Lymph movement helps:
- Move toxins out of the body
- Reduce swelling and water retention
- Support natural detox pathways
- Improve circulation and energy
- Speed recovery and reduce inflammation
- Create a feeling of lightness and ease in the body
It’s not about quick fixes; it’s about supporting your body’s natural ability to reset.
Three Conversations We’re Having at Vi
Having Our Heads Be Where Our Feet Are
The most valuable gift we can give the humans in front of us is our presence. What would it look like to be more present today? Being present is to be grounded.Letting The Body Do What It Knows
Our body knows the truth. Most of the time when I need clarity, I put it to my body. My mind tends to tell stories that most of the time come from fear and fear is a liar. There are 9 signals that go from our gut to our brain and only 1 from our brain to our gut. Gut health is how you protect your body’s knowing and moving lymph is a big part of the body’s healing processes. So take a walk, take many. Stand up and move throughout your days. Right now, we are talking a lot about detox and elimination pathways and the lymphatic system. Bliss Max is just one of our tools that we use to help it move more freely.Making Care Part Of Everyday Life
What if self-care wasn’t something you added to your to-do list but instead something that lived naturally inside your routine? This may sound like too much all at once. Let’s start together, one visit at a time.
