It all begins with an idea…
Hello, and welcome to our very first blog post! Kathryn here, Michelle Eberhart's assistant extraordinaire. Michelle and I decided to take the plunge into the world of blogging to help spread the word about The Loft IV Bar, a new concept in health and wellness that’s changing the way we think about hydration and recovery.
We know, we know—getting an IV outside of a hospital setting can sound a little... unusual. But that’s exactly why we’re here! We want to answer your questions, ease any concerns, and explain why The Loft IV Bar is an essential addition to our community.
So, How Did This All Begin?
It all started in the summer of 2023. Michelle was working hard at The Green Door Salon, the independent business she’s owned and operated since 2013. Over the years, Michelle has built a loyal customer base, many of whom have become close friends—and that's how I ended up here. I was just another client, searching for a new salon, and four years later, here we are, teaming up to create something truly exciting.
One of Michelle's earliest clients at the salon was Teresa Lain, NP, a nurse practitioner with a passion for healthcare. These two women hit it off right away and spent years building a friendship that would eventually evolve into a professional collaboration. While they were both busy juggling their careers and taking care of ailing family members, they came to realize something: the healthcare system doesn't always offer easy, convenient access to things like IV hydration—something that could make a huge difference when dealing with illness, dehydration, or recovery.
As it turns out, there are only a few places you can get an IV—either in the ER or at an infusion center. And, let’s be honest, no one looks forward to sitting in a hospital waiting room, right?
But what if there was another option?
Enter The Loft IV Bar
Fast forward to spring 2024. The idea for The Loft IV Bar was born, and locations were secured. Nurses began reaching out to Michelle, eager to be part of something new and innovative. With excitement building, it was time to start thinking about the fun part—choosing the menu!
How did we land on the specific combinations of vitamins, hydration, and nutrients that we offer? Simple! We did our research, checked out what other clinics around the country were doing, and mixed in a little trial and error. If something worked, we kept it. If it didn’t, we tried something else. And we’d love to hear from you! If you’ve tried a concoction that you think could be a great addition, please let us know!
The Magic Behind the Menu Names
Now, here’s where things get really fun! You’ve probably noticed that our IV infusions have some pretty catchy names. That’s thanks to a fun evening spent with Michelle’s 29-year-old son, Jake, who’s also our official tech guy. One night, Jake was teaching Michelle about artificial intelligence and how it could help her business. The patience that man has! But from that lesson came something special—our fun and quirky menu of IV infusion "cocktails."
I’ll dive into the details of each infusion in upcoming posts, but for now, just know that Michelle’s creative spark was behind every name. If you know Michelle, you know she has a knack for making everything a little more exciting—and our IV menu is no exception!
