When Janisha Mays found herself working in emergency rooms during COVID-19, suited up for 12-hour shifts without breaks to eat, drink, or use the bathroom, she had a revelation about the healthcare system. "It really made me understand that as a nurse I have so much more power than just working bedside," she shares. This awakening led her to create Eudaimonia Wellness and Beauty, a Dallas-based wellness spa focused on disease prevention and health promotion.

The wellness revolution Janisha champions goes far beyond conventional approaches. Her spa specializes in IV hydration therapy—delivering vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into the bloodstream with 100% bioavailability. This stands in stark contrast to oral supplements, which even in people with healthy digestion only offer 25-35% absorption. "Once you get to that optimal level and you are feeling amazing, you never want to be at a level where you're deficient ever again," she explains, describing how clients experience improvements in energy, mood, sleep quality, and overall wellbeing.

Particularly passionate about addressing vitamin deficiencies common in Black women, Janisha notes that 95% of her clients are vitamin D deficient—a condition conventional medicine increasingly downplays despite its significant health impacts. She bridges the gap between traditional healthcare and functional medicine, emphasizing that while medications have their place, understanding the root causes of health issues creates truly transformative results. Her collaborative approach extends to partnerships with hairstylists and estheticians, creating specialized treatments for hair growth and skin health that address problems from the inside out.

For aspiring wellness entrepreneurs, Janisha offers hard-earned wisdom: "Entrepreneurship is super lonely. There are so many people that give up when they're almost at that breakthrough." She emphasizes the importance of community, authentic self-presentation, and strategic investment in marketing from day one. Her wellness philosophy mirrors her business advice—balance doesn't exist, but prioritizing your nervous system health while making intentional choices about what to sacrifice (never your sleep or health) leads to sustainable success.
