Ginger Roots Skin Bar

A little over a year ago, I closed my storefront and moved into Body By Ally space! It has been such a whirlwind this past year!!

Heading into 2025, I started having open and honest conversations with you guys about the space I was in.
Was it the right fit? Was it too far out of the way?

By March 2025, I made the decision to *not renew my lease* in Southwick. Honestly, I was feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed after moving so many times over the years. Burnt out from opening new locations and them not working out.

April 2025 rolled around and what do you know… I found out I was pregnant! I tested positive bright and early on a Friday morning before work. My costar said “your body knows things that you don’t” and boy oh boy was it spot on that day lol

The thought of finding & opening a new location, while pregnant, was a big hell no from me. I didn’t want this tender season of my life to be overtaken by the stress.

Ally said…hey girl, just come rent from me!
Here we are a year later and she’s been such a support as I’ve stepped into motherhood. Thanks to Ally, I was able to have an easy transition from work locations during pregnancy and enjoy time with Artie when I was postpartum. She’s been a part of my village and it’s meant the world to me! 🫂

Bill Withers said it best:
Lean on me, when you’re not strong
And I’ll be your friend
I’ll help you carry on
For it won’t be long
‘Til I’m gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Ally’s also been available to pamper my clients while I was enjoying my maternity leave and continues to take good care of you guys when my schedule is packed and you’re still looking for some skincare TLC. 🧡

Everyone wants the village, but not everyone is willing to be a villager. Thank you x a million Ally for being such a guardian angel to me in this season of life. Love you lots! xo

You guys!!! Holy smokes! You’ve given me the warmest welcome back and I’m feeling the love. I’m shouting from the roof tops, THANK YOU!! 😭🫶🏻

I’ve had many DM’s, texts and calls the last two days with many of you excited to book a facial with me. I wanted to chat about what life’s looking like now that I’m back at it!

As I ease back into work I’m trying really hard to honor my boundaries and work / life balance. I truly love what I do and I adore you guys so much that I never ever want to say no. Being a new mama I’m taking savoring the moment seriously (my 2026 word of the year!!) and want you to know what I’m in the treatment room with you, I’m 100% present and happy to be there with you! To achieve that, balance and boundaries baby 👏🏻

I’m starting back with a more limited schedule and due to that, *I’m not able to take on new clients at this time*.

I deeply appreciate how many of you that have reached out with excitement to book (and I hate to say no!!!), but I can’t stretch myself too thin right now. Luckily, my suite mate Ally is accepting new clients for facials at this time! Body By Ally

I want you to know how special it is to me that you’d consider spending your hard earned money to support my small business. Especially during these times, I feel hands on healing and human connection has never been more important. Thank you for being present with me! It’s such an honor to hold space for you whether that’s during your facials or here on socials. How cool to experience a sisterhood that lights up my life even on the darker days. 🤲🏻🧡 xo jill
