WOMEN WHO CAN BUSINESS EXPO GOLD SPONSOR
CannaB Spa Atlanta
Brittany is a licensed Esthetician who’s in love with CBD & Hemp. She’s from Decatur, GA which is just 15 mins outside of Atlanta. Her love for skincare started just in 2017 when she was told she had to go to beauty school to get licensed in order to manage a family business. So she did! Even with her reservations of going back to school, she did it because it was best for the business. While being a student at Beaver Beauty Academy, her love for skincare grew. During this time is when Brittany struggled with anxiety and depression the most. It was always a struggle for her growing up but it became more severe as an adult because she ignored it. At age 27, she was diagnosed with anxiety and depression by her doctor because symptoms started showing up in her health/body. Her doctor prescribed traditional medicine to reduce her symptoms but she hated how it made her feel. After just 6 months she stopped taking the medicine and had to go though hard withdrawals.

One day CBD was brought to Brittany’s attention when she walked into a local shop. The salesperson explained how it could help with her anxiety in a more natural way. When Brittany tried CBD oil, it helped tremendously and gave Brittany better relief. A year after finishing school and doing more research on CBD, she was amazed to see the wonders it could do on your skin as well. For a year and a half, Brittany began trying CBD/Hemp products and even experimented with creating skincare from her kitchen to gain a better understanding of how it would work on her skin. She could see and feel better results with her new skincare routine in just 2 months. From CBD/Hemp facial cleansers to body wash, she felt good and her skin looked even better. Brittany knew she wanted to work in a spa and to eventually open her own but it wasn’t until 2019 when an idea came to mind.
Brittany noticed the trend of CBD and Hemp starting to flourish in the beauty industry. Businesses were starting to add CBD/Hemp to their services. Her goal was to open a spa with more CBD/Hemp infused products but soon decided that it can ALL be CBD/Hemp knowing what it has done for her. Why not provide an entire experience using CBD/ Hemp-infused products?,
so Brittany got to work to make this idea come to light. From October 2019 to January 2020, she kept this business plan on the low as she worked on her own logo, name, marketing, services, building relationships in the industry, finding a location and more. Created partnerships with CBD/Hemp companies like Therapeutic Treats, The Georgia Hemp Company, S.W.A.G Essentials, ATLrx and others to provide her customers with a full cannabis experience to also be able to shop products at her spa. Then by February 2020, she surprisingly announced the opening of the only ALL CBD/Hemp treatment spa in Georgia...”CannaBSpa”.
