When thinking of Tisa’s business, zen with a little kick of fun is what comes to mind. I met Tisa, owner of Love Light & Laughter A Healing Studio, at the beginning of December on a bitter cold night. My friends and I were at the Covington Baazar where she had set up a table with all her wonderful products. We immediately hit it off. It also turns out that she lives less than a mile away from me! Such a small world!
Tisa has been in the small business world for years. She had also been leading a natural lifestyle with gardening and composting. However she started looking into natural products when her son went to summer camp several years ago. The bug sprays often had a lot of deet in them. As she looked for natural products, she was dissatisfied with the “natural” products she found. They often still were not organic and still contained many of the harmful chemicals found in mainstream products. So instead, she decided to make her own.
So she started making making natural bug spray to give to people. Soon folks caught on via Facebook and wanted to buy them. Also during this time she was injured, so she did not really have the use of her legs. So she decided to use this time to make products in part for her own healing as well. The key is that she could help herself without the use of prescriptions.
“Love Light & Laugher products was born in my very own kitchen in 2014,” she said on her website. “With a little experimentation, lots of research, and a little luck, I have created a line of products that I am proud of.”
What began as something for herself and those around her has now blossomed into a business. Her line now includes bath salts, oils, healing soaps, glacier balms and perfume oils, all designed to be healing to people. If you live in the Cincinnati area, you can find her products at Funky Sunshine, The Colorful Cupboard and Hope Springs Institute. You can also buy them online through her website lovelightlaughterhealing.com/.
She also has her own healing studio in which she offers hot earth stone massage, SomaVeda Thai yoga, laughter yoga and Reiki. She had been thinking about getting certified in and offering these sessions for years. In fact, she would get massages and Reiki treatments regularly. However she found she was dissatisfied with her massage sessions she was receiving, so she decided to do it herself. Furthermore, sitting around all day gave her the time to go through courses and certifications online. You can book her for any of these services online or by calling 513.482.0907. She is currently accepting appointments.
Overall, Tisa loves being a female small business owner. She loves creating things and connecting with like-minded people in the community.
“I get to be creative and there’s nobody to tell me what I can and cannot do within my own creation,” she said. “… This is my baby. I get to decide which scents stay and which products go.”
