We had the good fortune of connecting with Sydney Alexandria and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sydney, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
As the Owner/CEO of Breathe Lounge & Wellness Spa, my journey into the wellness industry is deeply rooted in personal experience and a profound transformation that turned pain into purpose. After surviving a near-death experience involving domestic violence and navigating the challenging process of divorce, I found myself on a journey of self-discovery and healing.

Throughout this journey, I discovered the transformative power of holistic therapy and self-care practices in overcoming trauma, managing stress, and reclaiming my sense of well-being. Massage therapy, yoga, meditation, and other holistic modalities became essential tools in my healing journey, empowering me to rebuild my life and cultivate a deeper connection with myself.

Inspired by my own journey of resilience and transformation, I was driven to create a space where others could access the same healing modalities that had been instrumental in my own recovery. Breathe Lounge & Wellness Spa emerged as a manifestation of this vision—a sanctuary where individuals could find solace, support, and holistic therapy to nurture their body, mind, and spirit.

By sharing my own story of overcoming adversity and turning pain into purpose, I hope to inspire others to embark on their own journey of healing and self-discovery. Through Breathe Lounge & Wellness Spa, I aim to create a supportive community where individuals can find the strength, courage, and resources to transform their lives and embrace their inherent power to heal and thrive.

In essence, my personal purpose and experience have fueled my passion for wellness and empowered me to create a space where others can experience the transformative power of holistic therapy and self-care. Breathe Lounge & Wellness Spa is not just a business—it’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the profound potential for healing and growth that lies within each of us.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?

What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to providing personalized wellness experiences that nurture the body, mind, and spirit. We take pride in offering a comprehensive range of holistic services, expertly curated to meet the unique needs of each individual who walks through our doors.

Our journey to where we are today has been anything but easy. Building Breathe Lounge from the ground up has been a labor of love, marked by challenges and triumphs alike. Yet, through perseverance, dedication, and a steadfast belief in our mission, we have overcome obstacles and emerged stronger than ever.

One of the lessons we’ve learned along the way is their is power in the pivot and the importance of staying true to our values and vision, even in the face of adversity. We’ve also learned collaboration is currency and community, as we’ve forged partnerships with like-minded practitioners and organizations to enhance the breadth and depth of our offerings.

What we want the world to know about Breathe Lounge & Wellness Spa is that we are more than just a place to receive treatments; we are a beacon of hope and healing for those navigating life’s challenges.
