FMM: Share your background.

I was born in Northwest Washington, DC and raised in Prince George’s County Maryland. I attended an HBCU, Coppin State University in which I earned my Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing Degree. After receiving my degree I returned to my roots in Washington DC. My nursing career began at Howard University Hospital as a RN in the NICU/Pediatric Department. 

I was a teenage mom. I was looked down upon and made to feel like I was a failure. I knew I could overcome adversity and what failure looked like didn’t have to end up that way. I knew I had choices. Though my life may have been set up to fail. I didn’t have to. I decided to attend nursing school so I can provide for me and my son. After having my son, I gained a lot of weight, I was unhealthy and lost myself to the point that I didn’t even recognize who I was anymore. Throughout this process of trying to “find myself” I applied and got a job at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington DC. This is where I grew a lot closer to doctors and pharmacists that I worked very closely with and began to research all-natural health and wellness therapies. In an effort to get healthier an all-natural way I went to several wellness centers and most of their products made me sick. This led me to continue to research all-natural plant-based wellness supplements that were safe enough to take daily yet strong enough to get results. I used the products and services that I researched and began creating packages and meal plans for myself. I lost 65 pounds in less than 5 months. From then on, I knew these products was something I had to share with the world. I knew there were other woman and men who were looking to get healthier an all-natural way. So, then I took things a bit further. I rented a small site to start my business. This is how Bella Cache’ was born.

FWM: Share a pivotal moment in your life and what led you to look at your health and wellness differently. 

From a small suite of less than 500 square feet. To a larger suite 4 years later. To now, I have a storefront location in New Carrollton, Maryland which is now my Headquarters. Plus, a second location in the heart of Alexandria, Virginia. I employ 5 Medical Assistants to assist me in helping our community and beyond to manage hypertension, Diabetes Management, decrease cholesterol, and lose weight. We have clients that come in on their 1st visit with their head hanging low. Barely looking at me and not liking who they see in the mirror. These are some of my best clients. I give them everything they need to be successful on their journey to better health. All I ask is they follow the plan I give them. By the time the clients come back for their 1 week follow up they walk in the door smiling, talking with confidence, energized and thanking me and my staff. Best of all when our clients get on the scale and have lost up to 14 pounds in their 1st week! I know that there is a higher power that has a calling on my life and my business. 

FWM: Belle Cache’ is the first black woman owned plant-based wellness center. How are you helping clients today?

I am so proud of myself. I literally sat down with Doctors and Pharmacists to develop our products. I knew what I wanted to look like but just needed energy and a boost to get there. I used what I call the Kcal method to assist in determining what nutrients and calories my body needed to not only lose weight but also to function. Most wellness centers teach starvation, and I didn’t want to do anything extreme that will cause me to just gain my weight back. I took my time and the weight just began falling off, literally. I used my own products. My favorites are Triple Threat, Lipotropic Capsules, Fat Carb Blocker and my detox to help me suppress my appetite and burn fat throughout the day. I also used our all natural plant based injections as needed for quick energy and weight loss. The injections were very beneficial on my journey to boost my metabolism and fat burn even more. As a Nurse on my own wellness journey I tested different meal plans to see what works well with my products. I also created reset meal plans that I tested to help me get over plateaus. After losing weight I wanted to focus on my belly. I did more research to develop products that focused on visceral fat which is fat around the organs such as the stomach. My Fat Attackers AM/PM literally works to burn fat in your sleep. I used my Fat Attackers for a good 28 days whenever I want to focus on getting my stomach flat.

As a product of my own products, I am happy to share Bella Cache’ with the world. Especially because they are all natural and plant based. Don’t increase blood pressure, don’t cause jittery feelings. Safe for those on blood pressure diabetes medications. 

FWM: Take us through the process.

First visit is a consultation. I perform in person or virtual consultations with my clients. This way I can get a feel for what exactly my clients want and need. I love to feel their energy which helps me determine what plan or service will work best. I currently have 4 medical assistants on staff. One of my Medical Assistants will begin the process by measuring my clients weight/body fat percentage/BMI. I then step in to determine my client’s kCal or the amount of calories needed for weight loss. Not every client comes in for weight loss. Though the majority do. I meet my clients where they are. We review their current goals and expectations. Together we come up with a plan to best help them meet their goals. The plan usually includes wellness injections such as B12 or Lipotropic injections. Plus an appetite suppressant and choice of an additional supplement. Our client favorites are Lipotropic Capsules, Fat/Carb Erasers and our Detox. Our Famous 5 Day Detox is one of our #1 sellers. We have clients that order 3 or 4 at a time because they don’t want to go without it. It’s all natural and helps you lose up to 10 pounds in 5 days. Now the pounds is not just waste. Your belly goes down and bloating is reduced and sometimes eliminates causing clearer skin, a clean digestive system and cleaner colon. Our 5 Day Detox is a colon, liver and intestinal cleanse all in one. Trust me it gets the job done. We have a client who wrote a book and included our detox as her favorite detox to help her lose weight.

FWM: Share your success stories.

I have so many. Over 25 clients who have lost over 100 pounds. Most clients lose at least 10 or more pounds in their 1st week of using our products. I do wellness challenges with my clients quarterly and they lose 25 pounds in 21 days clients have gotten off of blood pressure medication. Diabetes medication reduced and/or discontinued. I have clients who are off of high cholesterol medications.

My client’s doctors are so impressed with my work when my clients go in for their check-ups and have lost tremendous amount of weight. Most importantly their blood draw levels drastically improve. My clients love that not only are they more energized, also their confidence and happiness is at an all-time high. They are loving on themselves and conquering their goals. Though most clients come to me for weight loss. It’s not all about weight loss. That’s just one aspect of my wellness center. At Bella Cache’ we change lives. We build confidence, build Bosses, decrease depression and anxiety. We build woman up who alternately may have given up on life. We give woman hope again. 

FWM: What lessons have your learned?

Throughout my 10 years in business my clients have taught me how much we s woman really need each other’s support. I never really realized that stepping out on faith. Leaving my 9 to 5 to become an entrepreneur would be so rewarding by helping a community of woman that actually needed my services. My clients have taught me that we are a movement by ourselves but a force when we are women together.
