We had the good fortune of connecting with LaShanae Johnson and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi LaShanae, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Natural living has always been a cornerstone in my upbringing. My mother never liked taking pills when she would visit the doctor , so I would try to conjure up natural remedies in our kitchen to try an assist in her healing. As well as myself. I’ve Always been passionate about creating & helping others so creating a business built on health and wellness was a no-brainer. Prior to starting my business back in 2018, I helped my mother heal her slip-disc as well as her plantar fasciitis. She pushed me to get things started and vowed to give her own testimonies of how I helped her. From that moment on she knew that I had something and she had faith in me that Divine Healn could bring awareness to all communities about the importance of staying healthy not only physically , but mentally , emotionally and spiritually as well.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Honestly I’m super excited about our re-branding and developing plus sustaining life long customers. We built this brand from a quaint kitchen space. Developing small-batch orders of all natural products. All of products are ethically sourced & 100% organic. It definitely hasn’t been easy business wise. There’s a lot tedious details that go into being a business owner. On top of being a stay-at-home mother & wife. Some days are more overwhelming than others, but everyday is a new learning experience. That’s why we also speak about the importance of balance in business, and in life in general. Therefore, Divine Healn doesn’t just promote a healthy lifestyle physically . We promote having a healthy mental state, Spiritual-Uplifting, how to navigate difficult emotions. We offer an array of tips, guides, blog spaces etc to connect with our community outside of selling products. We truly want to guide others and offer helpful tricks to navigate in this sometimes overwhelming reality of life. There needs to be a healthy lifestyle balance so that we’re performing to our maximum abilities. So that is what separates Divine Healn from other brands. We truly care about the overall well being of our communities.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’m an outdoors type of gal, that’s also scared as heck of bugs and critters. Lol! So I would definitely take my bestfriend on a nature trail. We would flow through the trail on our electric scooters while the wind blows through our hair. We’d also go four-wheeling because I love a thrill! After we finish up with the outdoors we’d go have a nice lunch. I love all different types of cuisine so most likely we’d be trying a couple of things on the menu. I try to stick to an 80% fruit, veggie, grain diet & eat only 20% meat. So when I dine out I try to find restaurants that cater to that type of eating style as well. I typically love being around free-spirited individuals that just let go and live without worrying what other think of them. As I am this way myself and well you know the law of attraction. I also love comedic relief because I truly believe laughter is the natural medicine of dealing with life. I would like to think I’m the funniest in my friend groups (haha). So when I’m around we’re definitely going to get a good “KiKiKi” in 🤭. Traveling, playing basketball, reading and learning new things are also things I love to do. I plan to visit the 7 wonders of the world and many other places. There’s nothing like immersing yourself into someone else’s culture showing appreciation, admiration love and respect for their traditions, cuisine etc.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My husband helped me build an immense amount of confidence in re-branding our business. I had just given birth to our 2 daughters back-to-back and postpartum depression started to set in. My amazing husband would remind me everyday of how beneficial I was and how the world needs Divine Healn. He helped me climb out of that state and get back to helping others. When I assist others on their healing journey it inadvertently heals my own inner-being. If it wasn’t for my husband I’m not sure if I would’ve gotten back to business so quickly and efficiently.
