We are continuing this series with the spotlight on Emily Willis, Owner of Womb Space Healing Center. Enjoy!

Introduce yourself!

My name is Emily Willis, and I own Womb Space Healing Center.

How does your business help people?

Womb Space Healing Center is a holistic gynecology office offering safe and natural health solutions.

How long have you lived in Madison County?

I’ve lived in Meridianville since October 2009.

What inspired you to start your business?

The complete absence of holistic healthcare in this country and the bandaid approach that does not heal the root cause of physical problems.

What sets your business apart from others in the industry?

I look at your health holistically meaning complete health of the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. I also have evening and weekend hours which no other gynecology practice in the area does.

What do you consider to be your biggest success so far?

Opening women’s minds to the fact that they can heal themselves and giving them their power back.

How does your business contribute to the local community?

I am offering women knowledge to empower them about their healthcare. I give them the tools they need to do the work and heal themselves.

How do you see your business evolving in the next 5-10 years?

I plan to expand on the small holistic health center I have at my office now with 6 other holistic health professionals. We plan to have a large building that is one stop shopping for holistic health for all.

Who are your typical customers, and how do they find you?

My typical customer is a woman from 18-60, although I have seen ages 10-93. I can be found on Instagram, Facebook, and my website.

What do you enjoy most about running your business?

Freedom with my schedule and what I offer!

How do you stay up-to-date with industry trends and changes?

I am constantly taking courses to further my education out of a desire to find more ways to help people but also I have required CEUs to keep my national certification and state license.

What advice would you give to someone interested in starting a business in your industry?

The first year is really tough on all levels but the end result is so worth it so stick with it.

What product/service would you like for us to highlight at this time?

Holistic gynecology services and products that I sell in my lobby.

Do you involve your kids in your business? If yes, how so?

They visit sometimes when there is no school and momma has to work but are not otherwise involved as school and after school activities keep them and us busy.

What do you find is the most difficult part of balancing motherhood and business life?

Making sure I give my husband and kids my undivided attention when at home.

What business in the Madison area is your favorite?

Phuket Thai Restaurant and Sushi because Thai and sushi are my favorite!

Who is your business bestie?

I enjoy all my suite mates at work a ton and consider them my friends.

Anything else you would like for us to highlight?

I am a one woman show so everyone gets me only when they contact the office and all appointments are an hour long at least so no one is rushed. I am here to sincerely listen and help.

Where can people find you?

My website and my office at 3315 Memorial Parkway SW, Suite 501, Huntsville, AL 35801 which is between Drake and Airport.
