Today we’d like to introduce you to Mary Hastings.
Hi Mary, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I was introduced to Sound & Light Therapy in 2018. It personally helped me with the stress in my life. I purchased a Sound & Light Chamber in 2019 and opened a wellness center in 2020. I was introduced to the Himalayan Singing Bowls in 2023 and fell in love with them. I took coursework in the Bowls and did over 170 hours of practice sessions to become Certified in the Himalayan Singing Bowls. I love the healing that both modalities offer. I celebrated the 5th Anniversary in business this last summer.
I love the work I do!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It hasn’t been a smooth ride, but I would not change a thing. Struggles-I opened during COVID and that made it challenging to get started. Marketing has been challenging too. I’m more of an introvert, so Networking and Marketing are a bit hard for me. I would rather be working one to one helping clients. All in all it has been good.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I am a solopreneur who loves to work directly with my clients. I enjoy sitting down with them before their sessions to learn more about them and learn why they came to their appointment. I personally determine what songs/colors or protocol would be most beneficial to them. After the session, I love to hear what they felt or what knowledge they gained. People are never the same as when we started the session.
I don’t have a specialty, but I have seen many clients with anxiety, depression, stress, grief and pain.
I call my clients the day after their treatment and hear how the session has benefited them and I love to hear that they are feeling better and that their pain has lessened.
Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
I would never have considered myself a risk-taker, but I did when opening the business. I was close to 60 years young when I opened it. I don’t think most people would do that so close to retirement. But my dream was always to do work I loved and this was it, so I went for it. Five years later I am glad I did!!
