About Elevated Melanin
Hello I’m Evelyn and here is my story and how Elevated Melanin came to be!
One summer morning in 2021 while sitting out on my patio having coffee, I leaned over to brush my dog and realized it wasn’t as easy to do this as it had been the year before! And upon further observation I realized my lap was slowly disappearing LOL! Fast forward to December 2022 I find myself in The Bay area of California with my hubby on a work assignment and well given the weather is amazing 95% of the year we found ourselves working out more, walking everyday eating healthier you name it! and while I felt much better, I still struggled to lose the stomach bulge! So “when in Cali” I went to have a consultation with a plastic surgeon and the quote of $45,000 plus 8 – 12 weeks down time that would require a lot of personal care assistance around the clock for several weeks of that time I exited the office disappointed but determined! Determined to find a way!
I began to investigate options and decided to try Cavitation I purchased a 3 treatment special and I must admit I was skeptical but Heck $450 was a much more affordable option and to my surprise after those 3 sessions I had lost a combined 3 ½ inches! I was so happy I told my Husband I wanted to buy a cavitation machine He saw how happy I was and said go for it Babe! In that moment a realization hit that having the machine doesn’t mean I would use it properly! I then went back to him and said I’m going to find an in person course to get hands on training to ensure I follow all the protocols! And well let’s just say a youtube video doesn’t even scratch the surface of what’s entailed in performing a safe sculpting session! I found a school in San Fransisco, CA. And to my excitement this course also included other non-invasive treatment options such as Laser Lipo, Columbian wood Therapy, Yeso Wraps, Thermal wraps, sauna wraps.
After I received my training and certification, I began to perform treatments on myself and my Husband! I noticed how much better my clothes began to fit and in a matter of 2 months doing a treatment once a week I had gone from a size 16-18 to a size 12 jeans! I was so over the moon. In that moment seeing myself in the mirror in a size 12 thinking I could help others! I am Certified Reiki master/ practitioner, Crystal Healer and Sound Therapy practitioner and began to notice clients that had been seeing me for energy balancing services began inquiring about my body sculpting abilities and became my first clients while in California! I asked a few clients what made them want to try Body Sculpting and they replied You helped me feel balanced, lighter and happier inside now I’m ready to let the outside shine! I began really considering creating a sculpting business but knew I was returning home to Pueblo West after the summer of 2023 and started the planning! I began to mull over business names and while considering my client market I realized although my clients were from all cultures the highest percentage were women and men of color. I pondered on how much being able to afford something that was considered out of reach for them had raised their spirits!
