Rising Stars: Meet Aneesha Barnes

Today we’d like to introduce you to Aneesha Barnes.

Hi Aneesha, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My passion came to me in a dream, almost 2 years ago I had a dream of my grandmother who is deceased she passed away but before she passed away I along with other family members was her caretaker. Long story short days I would spend taking care of her I would give her hand and foot massages not knowing that I was that good! But my Nana would express how good I was and that I should look into professionally doing it. Silly of me I laughed it off and said no that’s not my calling, however, it definitely was so one night I had a dream that I was working in my own spa, I woke up and begin doing research God lead me into everything I needed to know. I wanted to do something different something that Eastern Carolina needed.

So I started researching post-op aftercare “manual lymphatic massages. I did my research within a 3-week time frame I flew to Atlanta to get my certification within a month I begin to advertise all within a few months working behind the scenes of getting my LLC and other things I needed for my business. My dream became a reality on March 5, 2021, and Pressed722, LLC was established! Ever since then it’s been an amazing journey! This is my passion I absolutely love what I do! I’ve always had a passion to take care of others. So I thank the highest for giving me the vision and my Nana for speaking into my life and giving me the push!

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has been a smooth road along the way! If anything the world we live in today is big on social media! So the struggle sometimes comes in with promoting and advertising you must be BIG on that daily!

Some days you can have 100k likes or shares and some you may have 5-10 but believe me, someone is watching because it doesn’t stop the bookings! Lol. I love the word of mouth my support and clientele come from referrals all the time! I love that about my business my work speaks for itself!

Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
