  • Nursing, Aesthetics, and Entrepreneurship: The Story Behind ANEU Med Spa
    Amie Neumaier is a CANS and the Founder ANEU Med Spa. With over a decade of nursing experience, Amie was determined to break into aesthetic care from the start, however, as a new nurse, she began like most newcomers in the field--working in acute care!
    Equipping herself with a vast range of certifications, Amie began to apply for jobs in aesthetic care, eventually procuring a spot at a plastic surgery clinic.
    She was also instrumental in getting the board to recognize the Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist niche!
    Following in her family’s footsteps as entrepreneurs, Amie decided to take the plunge and open up her own Med Spa in April 2018; all while studying to be a nurse practitioner (NP).
    Signing a non-compete agreement, Amie faced many challenges in marketing her business within the law.
    However, Amie’s understanding of the aesthetic industry shined through, and she began to win clients based on merit and experience.
    Amie’s team and client base continue to grow and flourish today. Accrediting her company’s success to her team, Amie discusses the importance of hiring licensed and certified Aestheticians and other professionals that have the proper certifications and experience.

  • Creating Tasty Relief: Susan Scherer on Cannabis-Infused Ice Cream for Wellness
    This week we had the pleasure of chatting with Susan Scherer, the CEO and Founder of Heavenly Hash Creamery.
    After working as a primary care nurse for nearly a decade, Susan started her first company working with Cancer patients and their families to navigate the aspects of their care.
    In 2018, she began Heavenly Hash Creamy which derived from the tragedy of personal loss.
    Taking a hiatus from her work, Susan went to a networking event where she connected with an individual who made ice cream.
    It’s this experience that got her thinking--how can we make a great tasting, high-protein, and refreshing product that cancer patients will enjoy and benefit from? The answer was cannabis-infused ice cream!
    As a gluten-free, low lactose, and high-protein ice cream company, her ice cream flavors are available in CBD and non-CBD infused flavors.
    After dissolving her first company, she focused her efforts on Heavenly Hash Creamery and has been instrumental in making laws and regulations that allow her clients to get a tasty and nutritious treat.
    As a self-taught entrepreneur, Susan understands that continuing cannabis education helps to legitimize her company and keep her patients safe.
    She also reached out to food scientists and ice cream consultants to help her create an excellent-tasting product that’s also nutritious. Susan hopes to continue to grow her brand and add more high-protein and CBD products.
    Contact Susan and learn more about Heavenly Hash Creamery by visiting https://heavenlyhashcreamery.com/ or call 833-ICE-WEED (833-423-9333) today!
