Sign: Cancer
Born: Appleton, WI
Lacy Hardy founded the Sunflower
Spa in March 2003, prompted
by wanting to make a difference
in people's health and lives.
She transformed her lifestyle
and career from a fast-paced
Denver Corporate Technical Recruiter
to a Spa Owner in Appleton,
Wisconsin.
As well running the business,
Lacy also is a Massage Practititioner
and Certified Yoga Instructor
and is currently going to school
for Esthetics. Lacy received
her Bachelor's Degree with an
emphasis in business and communications
from University of Wisconsin
- Stevens Point and graduated
in December of 1997. In the
beginning of 1998 Lacy packed
her bags and moved to Colorado
without knowing a single soul
to pursue a different experience.
Lacy ended up in corporate America
recruiting for a number of technical
companies in the Denver market,
however; she always wanted to
pursue her passion - massage
therapy. In the beginning of
2001, the market took a plummet
and Lacy was laid off from her
corporate recruiting position
- but it was a blessing in disguise
- this gave her the opportunity
to pursue her dreams.
Lacy did just that, she enrolled
at the Golden Institute of Massage
in Golden, CO where received
1,000 hours certification of
massage therapy training in
March 2003. Lacy started the
Sunflower Spa in Denver where
it was a very small practice
and then in October 2003 she
moved back to her hometown,
Appleton, WI. The Sunflower
Spa reopened January 21, 2003
in Appleton, WI offering massage
therapy, body wraps, Skin Care,
Waxing, Yoga, Pilates, and Tai
Chi classes. Lacy is also a
Certified Yoga Instructor and
received her training at Feel
Your Best Yoga in Mequon, WI.
Lacy continues to grow her business
while being very involved in
the community and continuing
her education in the realm of
wellness.
In her spare time, she is very
active, loves to travel, and
do anything active in the outdoors
with her dog LuLu. Lacy's philosophy
on life is "live today like
it is your last day on earth
or whatever planet you may be
on that day". When we asked
Lacy why she loves what she
does she stated "Because I am
the appointment people look
forward to! I love being apart
of helping someone achieve optimal
health and educating them on
their bodies. I love the challenges
of the business side of things
too. I am passionate about what
I do and that shows up in my
work!" Lacy would like to retire
close to a large blue body of
water, and someday live on a
boat, travel, ride the ebbs
and flow of life.
