Plastic surgery, body sculpting, and contouring have recently been rising in demand among women who are fearless and want to face the world with their chin up. Once considered a stigma, these methods have become increasingly accepted among women who want to regain their self-confidence with the body they have always dreamed of. Turista Jackson realized the power of body sculpting and med spa services in transforming women’s lives, so she started her own venture with 1 Body Med Spa. With this venture, Turista opened one of the first African American female-owned med spas in Houston, TX.
Turista started her entrepreneurial journey at the age of 20 with a daycare center. Despite being new to the business, Turista wanted to start on a grand scale, not with a home daycare, but with a building with her cousin Jasmine Hampton. The daycare center, Smarty Pants DayCare, grew to an enrollment of a hundred children within their first year and is still going strong. She started her next venture with a body studio where she helped women redefine or enhance their physical features through body sculpting. Unfortunately, the business found itself in trouble during the pandemic when social distancing became the norm, so Turista had to shut it down, only to emerge with the idea for a better venture.
Today, Turista is the owner of 5 successful businesses in different areas like childcare, beauty and wellness, transportation, and real estate. Seeing her business crumble during the pandemic made her realize the importance of choosing recession-proof interests. Turista earned her real-estate license and purchased trucks to run a transportation business. 1 Body Med Spa is the most recent addition to her list.
Founded by Turista, 1 Body Med Spa is a best-in-class med spa that offers a host of services ranging from body contouring to lip injections/fillers. Turista wants women to know that they are gifted with one body that they should love and adore. They have the power and right to change whatever features they desire but should never abuse
their bodies in the name of beauty. The goal of 1 Body Med Spa is to help women achieve their dream appearance with some simple non-invasive measures to help them along the way or with invasive treatments such as cosmetic surgery. After several months of intensive training at a med spa, Turista was confident she could deliver the most desired results to her clients to boost their body positivity.
Being a single mother, it has not been easy for Turista to manage 5 businesses, but she made it through many tests and trials. She is working hard to give her child the kind of
life she always wanted for herself. Apart from that, Turista also wants her story to inspire millions of women around the world to follow their dreams and never let the opinions of others weigh them down.
Turista noticed how mothers and women struggle to find body positivity, so her goal is to make them realize how perfect they are. Besides that, 1 Body Med Spa is also a humble initiative to erase the stigma associated with plastic surgery and body correctional procedures. With a mission to transform women’s perceptions of themselves, Turista plans to expand 1 Body Med Spa with franchises across major cities in the U.S. She will continue her mission for years to come while transforming millions of lives along the way.
