Meet Aaisha (Coach O) VanBuren-Owens | Personal Trainer & Life Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Aaisha (Coach O) VanBuren-Owens and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Aaisha (Coach O), we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
When it came to starting in my business I thought about what I will leave behind for my kids and the legacy that will continue on through them.. Also I thought about what does Aaisha enjoy and love doing and being that I love working out always been at sports and love people why not go into the fitness business, why not go into the lifecoaching business.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
When it comes to life coaching I specialize in teens and I feel like that’s important because more so these days there are many things that our teens go through, from depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidal thoughts and behavior’s. I’ve worked in the mental health professional for over 5 years and I worked in the school system where I’ve seen a lot of teens go through certain things that they will not go to their parents to talk about and divulge the information to them and it’s heartbreaking to have so many of our future leaders go through these things and not be able to or not know how to “with certain situations or how to handle them. I’m different because this is my Passion I have a heart for this. I went through similar situations as a teen. I tried to commit suicide, I went through being bullied, depression, I had a lot of traumas that I felt led me to this particular group and I’m thankful for those life obstacles that I can be able to use what I went through to help other teens and families get through similar things. But I also work with adult population as well. Was this easy most definitely not there has been UPS and Downs but in the business you find what works and what doesn’t work but then you have to push through those obstacles and if you’re really passionate and feel this is something that you really want in life you keep going you keep trying to build, you keep putting out content, you keep going to trainings and you keep getting information that’s vital to your business and the area that you serve to be able to effectively be effective in the profession. I’ve learned that no matter what you keep going and keep growing. I want the world to know that JCO Align Your Life offer their services no matter where you are.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
So a typical itinerary for my best friend visiting me would be we would go shopping at the malls, we would go to a spa get our nails done to relax because we’re both busy parents and we need our me time. Also we would go check out a couple of adult night spots for some good music for fun. We both love meeting people. As far as eating we’re very different because she eats certain things I eat certain things but definitely seafood find a good seafood spot some Jamaican food American cuisine and definitely will eat at Chick-fil-A lol. And also Just hang out at the house because we can definitely have a good time while in the house.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to shout out my 2 boys Jacobe and Caleb along with my family for all the support and encouragement through the process and all the work of starting not one business but multiple businesses.
