Boss "Ladies", Valentine's Day and More in Mobile, Baton Rouge & Baldwin County!

This week I sat down with Meredith Simmerman, licensed counselor, for a quick interview. Her practice has evolved into one that is primarily focused on the well-being of women. Her intuitive nature helps her guide women through the many challenges females are facing in today's world.


Helping women set healthy boundaries is one area

that she knows is a foundation for a happy life. Discovering each woman's individual "yes" is another building block to a healthy self-esteem. Learning how to manage a career, family and relationships is the emphasis of counseling sessions with Meredith. Click here to watch the Facebook Live video of my quick chat with her.


To contact Meredith you can text her at 251-415-6220


 

Many of us are dealing with taking care of aging parents and relatives. Sherri Wright, owner of Caring Transitions in Mobile & Baldwin Counties, knows how to help! Her company specializes in downsizing in a loving way. When it is time to relocate, her team shines. They move your loved one into a new setting and remove as much stress as possible. Imagine your senior walking into his or her new place and it is completely unpacked and set up! This is called resettling and it is what Sherri does for her clients.

"Boss of the Week"

Lesley Senne, Owner of Salt & Light Spa

Mobile & Baldwin

Meet the Boss of the Week: Lesley Senne. She owns Salt & Light Spa located in Piccadilly Square in Mobile, Alabama. Her spa was the first to bring Halotherapy to the area! She continues to introduce new treatments on a regular basis. Personally, I am a tremendous fan of Halotherapy and how it eliminates so many sinus symptoms. Another service that she provides is the Aquapod IR Hydration Pod which is a little bit of heaven on earth! Click here to read her story on meet da' boss.com


Lesley is expanding her business "across the Bay" into Baldwin County. Salt & Light Spa will be opening a second location in Fairhope, Alabama in March! Congratulations to this "boss lady" !


I asked Lesley to share some insights on Mobtown! Enjoy!


#1 What is an “insider tip” for people moving to or visiting Mobile?

Visit local establishments like Callaghan's to get the feel of the city. ~ Lesley (Callaghan's is a local bar that serves great burgers, has live entertainment & is dog friendly)!


#2 What is your favorite thing about living in Mobile?

There is plenty to do and the people are great. Plus it's home. ~ Lesley


#3 What is one thing you would like people to know about your business?

We strive to make every person feel welcome, relaxed and at home. If a particular package doesn't work for you, talk to us about it. We can find what works best for you and your schedule. ~ Lesley


#4 What do you do for fun?

Spend time with my adult kids and spend time with friends. Nothing fancy. Just a meal and conversation. ~ Lesley


Thank you, Lesley for sharing with us!
