We had the good fortune of connecting with Rebekah Chaves and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Rebekah, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I started my business during Covid because I decided I wanted to become a business owner and make some thing of my own. I wanted to do something in the health and wellness industry while also helping people. I’ve always been into health and wellness since I was little and I used to be a bikini competitor, so I knew I would find a passion for body sculpting and body contouring.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Since I started my body sculpting business during Covid, I made it my mission to always remember that my goal is to enhance and elevate my clients from the inside out. The physical results on the outside are just a plus, my goal is to make sure my clients feel better, rejuvenated, healthy, and inspired to continue bettering their health and feeling the best they can every day. Apart from being a body sculptor I also have a full-time job where I work with special need adults and I absolutely love it. I love doing things that make me feel fulfilled and give me purpose. The last four years of my business had a lot of challenges setbacks, and I took a year off , but when I came back after reopening, my business I came back with more fire and inspiration to keep helping others. This year I realized that all you have to do is keep going, I think about all the times I’ve wanted to give up and then something great happens for my business and it reminds me on why nothing great comes easy and if you don’t give up and put in the time and the work and effort you will see the rewards in time it’s about patience and remembering your mission and why you were doing what you’re doing. For me It’s about giving to others and helping others feel great in their body. It feels so good to see my clients happy and feeling good and I also want to be the best example to my siblings to show them that anything is possible that no one else is going to fulfill your dreams but yourself.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would definitely take my best friend to Catalina Island, and spend 2 to 3 days there enjoy the beach go to Descanso day club have some amazing Italian food, snorkel, paddleboard, and go on the boat. I truly enjoy being outside and being anywhere near water also, one of my favorite restaurants to go to for brunch or a late dinner is Joey’s in Newport, super affordable great ambience, great food and drinks. I love to go work out and go for runs to the beach from my house. Also going to coffee Dose is one of my favorite things to do especially when I have friends in town they have great coffee ana breakfast.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
One of my best friends/mentor/business consultant Daniela has been there for me before, during, and till now watching me, build my business from the bottom she has really been someone I look up to and inspires me every day. We have now created our first body sculpting course together, where I will be teaching and certifying others in body sculpting and she mentors them on the business side during our course. Not only is she a business consultant, but she also is a business owner.
