Today we’d like to introduce you to Daria Shaw.
Daria, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Health and wellness has been in my blood, and soul, for over 25 years. My journey began shortly after earning my B.A. in Business Management from Notre Dame of Maryland University. I developed my passion for skincare while managing Prescriptive’s/Estee Lauder Cosmetics. This led to continuing my education and obtaining certification as a Maryland licensed esthetician. Soon after, I opened “Skincare by Daria.”
As the co-founder, and CFO, of 2 Health Nuts, I not only encapsulated my passion for skincare but for wellness too. It brings together the very elements that I live and breathe – fitness, nutrition, and aesthetics.
One of the greatest attributes in what I do is taking to heart what I have learned, and continue to learn and be able to return that very gift. The gift to mentor, support, and educate clients to thrive in their skin, embrace their journey,& live the BEST version of their current selves.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I think we all have obstacles on our journey. At the end of the day, though, it’s how we respond rather than react to those obstacles. I’d have to say my main struggle is being introverted. Although it has really challenged my entrepreneurial prowess, I feel like I have grown in this arena at the same time too. This is one of the benefits of being in business with someone other than just yourself. It’s been a nice balance of having a business partner who can learn from your strengths and, at the same time, help you “level up” in areas you feel the need to be challenged more.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
2 Health Nuts was established in the Spring of 2014 with a passion and drive to offer the highest level of health and wellness offerings to the Baltimore, D.C., and Virginia for the individual, small group, and Executive Level. With the ultimate goal of becoming a presence, nationwide, our mission is to foster a relationship with our clients to educate and guide them on the path of what it means to make healthy, realistic, and sustainable lifestyle changes. While most wellness companies focus on WHAT to do, we have made it our priority to emphasize & educate on exactly HOW to implement health and wellness into your everyday life!
2 Health Nuts offers a complete understanding of the complexities of our bodies. We assist in establishing a healthy workplace environment through our customized health & wellness programming. We specialize in fitness, nutrition, stress management, and lifestyle coaching, coupled with the goal of inspiring, empowering, and challenging our clients to be their very best.
While our company is founded on bringing on-site, high touch engagement services to our clients, we have brodened our scope of offerings to provide the same level of customization and excellence into a virtual, low-touch atmosphere too. We offer a number of DIY fitness programs as well as monthly membership offerings, giving you the opportunity to work out LIVE, with the 2 Health Nuts, and/or have access to the library for future workouts.
Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
There is definitely one piece of advice that remains true today, and that is NETWORKING! It’s important to make connections and have contacts, specifically that jive with your work ethics and integrity. Building one’s business is drawing on these connections, professionalism, and working smart. The statement “it’s all who you know” is not to be overlooked.
