IV Vitamin Therapy, what is it? Every day I talk to people about what we do at The IV Lounge!  The common belief is that we are a hangover clinic.  We offer IV Therapy using vitamins and antioxidants. Not to say that it doesn’t help with your hangover! I have been known to have a few drips post party time and believe me it is amazing. Though hangover drips make up the smallest part of our IV Vitamin Therapy treatments.

IV Vitamin Therapy can treat a range of conditions like:

• Adrenal Fatigue

• Migraines & tension headaches
• IBS
• Fibromyalgia

• Pre and post-athletic event/ Performance

I know what you’re thinking!  We can all eat well and exercise to provide our bodies with the optimal amount of essential nutrients we need to function and be healthy, right? In short, many people who have an auto immune condition cannot absorb vitamins and nutrients.

Unfortunately, in Australia 1 in 2 of us (that’s 50%) have a chronic condition of some sort!  Crazy, wouldn't you say?  Struggling with sleep, tired all the time, too busy, finding it hard to get out in the fresh air, these are all ailments of modern living and all of us are experiencing it!  For example, when you are suffering from a chronic condition, it is nearly impossible for you to get the amount of vitamins and nutrients that your body really needs.

This is where IV Therapy comes in!  It is an amazing, quick and safe way to complement our diets and give our bodies optimal vitamin and minerals levels. The vitamins, minerals and antioxidants are delivered straight into your blood stream. The vitamins all work at a cellular level. That is to say, IV Vitamin Therapy can deliver faster, more effective results, because it bypasses the digestive process.

There are quite a few reasons why our bodies find it hard to absorb through the digestive system.  These reasons include your age, your health, your metabolism and also how the vitamins interact with what you are eating.  At The IV Lounge, we deliver a higher level of vitamin and antioxidant than your body can ingest. Therefore your cells will have a greater uptake and effectively be able to fight off illness and maintain good health.  The most common additives we use are vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium. Most importantly, we also use antioxidants, such as glutathione and Alpha Lipoic Acid.

IV Therapy has been know to relieve stress, rid the body of toxins, balance hormones, boost immunity and keep skin healthy. IV Therapy gives you the ability to take control of health and wellness and that is important for a lot of our clients. This in itself is a great boost to their mental health and sometimes quality of life.

Anyone who runs a small business will understand how you really do become a jack of all trades.  You are constantly on the look for how you can take it to the next level!  By ‘it’ I mean your business.   We have been open for 12 months now and we have been on a massive learning journey.  We are a start-up business, and we have a unique business and a new concept for the Australian market with IV Vitamins and Shots.

Grace, (my business partner) and I, love the challenges that this business has thrown us.  What we have found to be one of the biggest issues has been educating the market. Education is important for our business as not many people know what we do.  It’s one of our greatest challenges, and we were struggling to know where to go next.  After bouncing ideas off each other, about 2 months ago came to the conclusion that we needed some professional help.  That help came in the form of a business coach.​

I’ve been in various business ventures since I was 16 years old and I have operated some really successful (and not so successful ) businesses over the last ‘unmentionable number’ of years.  I didn’t think that at this stage of my business career I would need someone to steer us in the right direction.  Boy, was I wrong! Over the last 2 months both Grace and I have been stretched and made to think about our business, especially about our future, where we want to be and what our success looks like.  We’ve had to answer questions, make decisions, write manuals, make tough decisions and become accountable. ​

Our business coach is Joanne Jarvie from Business Success Partners.  The process she has taken us through has been amazing, we now have a vision, can focus on our core business and a 5-year plan to take us into the future.  Everything seems like we are ready to take it to the next level.  Jo made it fun and the 2 hours a week time investment just flew by.  ​I have loved every minute of it and don’t want it to end. ​

It’s true that sometimes you do get ‘store blind’ having a business coach is like having another team member who is definitely on your side but also makes you really look at what you are doing.  This is one of the best investments we have made!  Because we now have a vision and a plan, we are hiring the best people, moving to the right location for us, expanding into new markets on the Central coast and Sydney and diving right into the next phase of our business growth.  That includes opening in The Junction, we are moving The IV Lounge from Wickham to exciting new premises in The Junction Village.  We are excited about being part of The Junction Newcastle community.  Come and visit us from Monday 2 September. 

We will be open Monday to Saturday and Sunday by appointment only.
