Inspired by her mother, who worked as a pharmacist, Rachel Ingram had always dreamed of pursuing a career in the healthcare industry. Starting her journey as a nurse, she worked for four years in a security care unit before moving to an emergency department for two years. While working, she attended classes at Virginia Commonwealth University to become a family nurse practitioner, successfully completing the program in 2017. After working as a hospitalist at VCU Health System for five years, Rachel developed a keen interest in aesthetics. Combining her medical expertise with an artistic eye, Rachel moved forward with aesthetics and now owns Balance Wellness, where she helps clients feel comfortable and confident in their own skin.
Rachel is a driven business owner who was motivated to start her own company after seeing her colleague effectively balance a career and motherhood. She founded Balance Wellness, which allows her to pursue her passion for aesthetics while still being there for her three-year-old son. At Balance Wellness, the best part of work for Rachel is interacting with her clients. She genuinely cares about her patients and takes pride in meeting and engaging with them. "I love performing all the treatments and seeing my clients evolve and gain confidence," says Rachel. "It feels like a privilege to do my job and help people I care about every single day."
At Balance Wellness, clients have the opportunity to benefit from a variety of injectable treatments such as Botox, fillers, and Sculptra. Rachel also offers a range of skincare services, including chemical peels to improve skin clarity, tone, and texture. Additionally, microneedling is available to stimulate collagen production, which helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Most recently, Rachel has incorporated a highly effective weight loss program at Balance Wellness, which has a 100% success rate. The program is designed to cater to each client's specific needs and includes a medication regimen, nutrition recommendations, and guidance to help achieve the desired results. Balance Wellness also empowers clients to explore natural alternative treatments.
Rachel goes above and beyond to guarantee that her clients achieve their physical and mental health goals. Not only does she provide top-notch services, but she also recommends other local businesses with complementary treatments to help her clients discover complete wellness. She is also actively involved with other local injectors to promote the best outcomes for all clients, not just her own. With big plans for Balance Wellness, Rachel would love to see it grow into a bigger space and work with other healthcare professionals to offer even more services. “What won’t change over the years is my commitment to my clients,” Rachel says. “I want to be a clinician in the trenches providing holistic care.” Her dedication and compassion have significantly impacted and earned her a well-deserved reputation as a trusted healthcare professional. With Rachel leading the way, Balance Wellness will continue to thrive and provide unparalleled services to its clients.
