I do not normally do this but I have been encouraged to introduce myself. My name is Mamie de Groot (Byrne). I grew up in the Orillia area. The majority of that time I have lived in Brechin . I am a mother to three awesome children , 2 wonderful son in laws . I have the cutest grandson on earth, the most amazing stepdaughter and granddaughter and the kindest most loving man a girl could ask for . I am 48 an RN and a business owner . Although I have owned Avaia for 5 years I have really just recently taken a more active role. It has been an incredible , humbling experience . I have learned so much and gained a much deeper appreciation for small business owners. I entered this industry on March 1 2014 with nothing more than a big dream, a very patient staff and a small group of people who believed in me . If it wasn't for these people my dream never would have blossomed . I began my journey to fulfill this crazy childhood dream to own my very own Salon & Spa. This was very bizarre as I had no previous experience in the industry . I have been a nurse for the past 25 years . The last 20 have been in the community as a Visiting Nurse with Bayshore Home Health.I have been very blessed to have had an amazing career and still able to pursue my childhood dream . I still nurse on a very casual basis . My nursing colleges have been very supportive throughout this journey . Accommodating time off , switching shifts and changing positions allowing me to focus on the salon. Avaia has undergone many changes in the last five years . The majority being in the last year. Many people have asked if there is a new owner. The answer is no but the truth is that it has just been in this past year I had the knowledge , courage and strength to take ownership of my salon and pursue my dream . I have made many changes as a result An overall makeover to the salon ( we're almost done lol) , increased staff (14), improved our service menu , and introduced spa and princess parties. I have taken huge measures to educate , empower and encourage my staff to follow their own dreams and focus on their passions. I have worked hard on creating a more positive , friendlier , fun atmosphere and most importantly , I have strived to give each and everyone of my clients an amazing and memorable experience . I am extremely humbled and grateful for all the support and love I have received over the last 5 years . Whether you are a regular client, a new client or a past client we have not seen in awhile. I look forward to getting to know you all and making many more friendships. I would like to make special mention to a handful of people who have been by my side from the beginning . My loving mother and sisters , my dedicated children , my supportive cousin , my amazing staff , my bayshore babes , my 2 best friends, my empowering group of business women and last but not least my wonderful, wonderful Dave??????Thank you all so very much xoxo
