We had time to catch up with Alissa Bayer, the founder and owner of milk + honey. “I have three kids -10 year old twins and an 8 year old that makes my day job look easy. Shortly after attending grad school at UT- Austin, rather than take a traditional post MBA career path, I decided that I wanted to make a living making other people feel good.”
“After much soul-searching (and many massages), it became clear that I wanted to combine my professional experience, my creative, playful nature, and my desire to do something that makes others feel great. milk + honey is the result.”
“At milk + honey, we have always focused on products with clean ingredients, but it wasn’t until about 8 years ago that I launched our own line of clean, effective products. Utilizing the passion, experience, and expertise of our talented team of estheticians and massage therapists, our milk + honey products were truly born from the spa and allow our clients to bring that wonderful spa experience home.”
She also stressed the importance of putting together a reliable team. “I haven’t done it alone. I was fortunate to have surrounded myself with a talented, dynamic team of individuals, all Spa Partisans, who have helped to make milk + honey the best day spa in Texas.”
Alissa encouraged other women looking to start a business to “Go for it! Do your research, trust your instincts, and surround yourself with talented individuals that share your passion and are not afraid to take risks – and ask for help along the way.”
