Today we’d like to introduce you to Randi Ruela.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
A transplant from Pittsburgh, PA, I have been living in California for over ten years after moving here to attend the Southern California University of Health Sciences, where I completed dual Doctorate and Master’s degrees in Chiropractic and Acupuncture respectively. While studying at university, I met my husband who is also an acupuncturist and working with the school at that time. We married in 2011 and later opened Inner Qi (pronounced Inner Chee) in 2015.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely has not been a smooth road! Navigating the dynamics of our relationship AND a business posed its own challenges. On top of that, our finances looked like we had both just graduated college, which is to say they were unimpressive. So for us, just opening was a struggle. In 2015 we were lucky to cross paths with a colleague who owned a chiropractic office in Corona but needed to move back to her hometown. She wanted someone to take over her practice and, help it to grow and believed we were the perfect couple to do just that. She was willing to take payments for the purchase over several years and in the process, gave us a huge opportunity to own a practice and become business owners and entrepreneurs. Since the beginning of Inner Qi’s journey, we have struggled through three location moves, a global pandemic and the birth of our daughter, Amelia, on July 13th.
