We had the good fortune of connecting with Meagan Fortunato and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Meagan, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Owning my own business has always been a dream of mine. For years I was a stay at home mom. When I then became a single mom, I knew I had to show my girls that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. While working at various different spas, I saved up to open my first location! I started out in a small studio on the second floor of a professional building in Stroudsburg, PA. While growing my clientele, I knew in order to stand out and be different I had to offer services that others didn’t. I created multiple unique “pamper packages” that instantly became a huge hit in the healing process of my clientele. I wanted to create a space where stressed and aching clients could come to escape, relax, and renew. Once word of mouth started to spread about my healing touch, I have gained the best clientele I could have ever dreamed of having!
Please tell us more about your work. We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. How did you get to where you are today professionally. Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?
Tranquil Moments of the Poconos has two locations located in : Stroudsburg, PA and Blakeslee, PA. What sets me apart from others are my unique pamper packages and my modern approach through the healing process.
I am most proud of being able to say I own two day spas before the age of 30. I made it here as a single mom of two working tirelessly each day, to make sure my children have the good life that they deserve !
It was not an easy climb to get to where I am at today. Especially with Covid thrown into that mix, it was a little set back. I had to spend many days and nights working around the clock while being a full time mom. But I definitely appreciated the climb. I am still learning and growing each day to better myself, my knowledge and my business.
I am a hard working woman who is dedicated to helping others around me live a healthier & happier life !
