America's New Entrepreneur--Tarah Galloway Professional Counselor/Art Therapist!



A Division of Gardner Bank
 
At SmallBusinessBank.com, a division of Gardner Bank, we serve micro business customers in the wide range of their business' life-cycles, from pre-start up, to mature business company. Regardless of what stage of success you have taken your micro business to, you can count on us to share your story. This weeks story, in their own words, is Tarah Galloway Professional Counselor/Art Therapist.
 

My name is Tarah Thommes Galloway-I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Registered Art Therapist, which basically means that I am a psychotherapist who also incorporates art into the healing process when appropriate. I work primarily with women and children over the age of seven in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. My work is centered on helping people recover from mental health issues like PTSD, depression, anxiety, self-injury, and eating disorders. I’m passionate about helping people obtain true happiness.

Starting my business has been in the works for over a year, but it wasn’t until the last 3 months that I really kicked things into gear. Starting a business has been a real struggle for me because while I was taught to be a great psychotherapist in graduate school, no one taught me how to open or run a business. Needless to say, there has been a steep learning curve for me over this past year.

I would say that so far creating my own business has been my greatest success.  Now I have the freedom to work with clients that truly energize me. When I feel excited about the work I do, I can then provide phenomenal services and help people change their lives.

America's New Entrepreneur--CPR Champion!





A Division of Gardner Bank
 
At SmallBusinessBank.com, a division of Gardner Bank, we serve micro business customers in the wide range of their business' life-cycles, from pre-start up, to mature business company. Regardless of what stage of success you have taken your micro business to, you can count on us to share your story. This weeks story, in their own words, is CPR Champion.
 

 
Have you ever been in a situation that likely required medical attention but you were afraid to act because you didn’t know what to do? Have a family member or co-worker with a delicate health history and want to be prepared? Thought of taking CPR but couldn’t find a class and location that fit your needs? CPR Champion has solutions for you.
 
Did you know 70 percent of Americans feel unprepared to act during a cardiac emergency, either because they do not know cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or because they feel rusty because they haven’t taken a class in many years, according to the American Heart Association (AHA)? 

And while 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home, the survival rate of those who suffer home cardiac arrests is a mere 8%.  If the victim receives CPR their chances of survival can double or triple and with the use of Automatic External Defibrillation (AED), the survival rate goes up to over 50%, according to the AHA.   
 
These alarming statistics show the need to increase the public’s ability to perform high-quality CPR.  And with the prevalence of AED machines in so many public areas, the tools are in place for bystanders to help. 
 
Recognizing the success of high-quality CPR inspired Alexa Champion Marks to become a certified CPR instructor. 

After many years of working as a personal trainer, Alexa became a registered nurse in the emergency department of several local hospitals, including a Level 1 trauma center.  Initially, she taught for five years with the Loudoun County Virginia Medical Reserve Corps, Alexa then proceeded to begin CPR Champion, Living Health LLC.
 
She has worked as an ER RN, a family practice RN manager, and currently as an RN wellness educator and home health RN. Before earning her BSN & RN, she worked as a certified personal trainer and ran her own outdoor bootcamp & personal training company, based out of Leesburg, VA. 
 
Making sure everyone feels comfortable and supported in the learning environment is paramount for Alexa’s classes.  Any question is legit and everyone gets plenty of practice time. 

Participants have submitted reviews saying that the class was"entertaining and informative," and that as an instructor, Alexa was "very polite & informative." Recent students submitted that "I loved the hands-on part! I feel good about CPR now.” 
 
As far as credentials, Alexa holds a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing from Shenandoah University and a Bachelor's of Arts in English from the University of Maryland at College Park. She is a registered nurse in the District as well as in Virginia & Maryland with a compact state license.  

Alexa is certified by the American Heart Association to teach both Healthcare Provider CPR/AED (Basic Life Support) for Adults, Infants and Children as well as lay CPR/AED & First Aid for Adults, Infants and Children.  Alexa also holds a certification from the American Safety & Health Institute (ASHI) to teach CPR/AED & First Aid at the healthcare provider level and lay level.
 
Alexa is also a breast cancer survivor.  After fighting her cancer battle, Alexa achieved clarity regarding the importance of starting her own business and focusing on what was important to her.  The mission of CPR Champion, Living Health LLC, is to offer on-demand, on-site CPR and First Aid classes, to both laypersons and health care providers conveniently.

At ThinkBiome we understand that the microbes residing on and within our bodies, that have evolved with us over hundreds of thousands of years, are vitally important to our continued health and wellbeing. 

The successful implementation of sanitation and use of antibiotics in modern life has saved countless lives from pathogenic microorganisms. The unintended consequence of this positive action however, is that the good bacteria in and on our bodies is also harmed. 

That is why we started ThinkBiome. By making simple little changes to our diet and lifestyles we may set right the damage done by modern living. I wanted to create a community.
 
A place for people to share, discuss and understand the implications of cutting edge research into the human microbiome and to provide only the best nutritional supplements for optimal digestive health. Supplements designed around the latest, greatest research into supporting a healthy, balanced gut microbiome.
