We had the good fortune of connecting with Heather Galvan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Heather, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My name is Heather Galvan, I am the owner of Body SLimplicity, LLC and Body Secrets Skincare & More. After spending many years in the corporate world as a leader without a work-life balance, I felt it was time to gain some life. In 2018 I obtained my Bachelor’s degree and felt ready to explore an entrepreneurial path. However, I was unsure what I should do, I just knew I had to help others. After struggling with my weight, I explored non-surgical, safe options, for reducing my body fat. I received noninvasive lipo treatment and was inspired about learning more because I knew it was how I could serve people the way I wanted. The treatment was a safe approach to reducing body fat with no down-time and I was able to continue my daily activities. My metabolism improved; my weight was reduced after just three treatments. I then sought out how to become certified in this industry. Initially, I practiced my craft part-time with friends/ family and found it to be successful. After this, I knew providing non-invasive treatments would be a full-time passion for me.

In 2020, I took a leap of faith, quit my corporate role, and opened Body Slimplicity full-time. The non-invasive services I provide not only allow me to work for myself but fulfill me since I get to help individuals gain body confidence. We strive to improve self-esteem by reducing body mass or addressing skin issues. Since beginning this journey, I have taken things a step further and now teach body contouring in hopes to inspire others to serve their communities with these services. I love all that I do and choose to empower people with knowledge, confidence, and success. Being a business owner has allowed me the opportunity to spend more time with my husband and three daughters which was a struggle when I was in a corporate position. I am fully devoted to body contouring, body confidence and, meeting goals successfully. Body Slimplicity, LLC now has three locations Lancaster, Carrollton, and Round Rock. We serve in multiple communities as body artisans. We provide custom treatment plans to reduce body fat, tighten skin, reduce cellulite or blemishes and contour other areas of concern for individuals. We strive to provide exceptional guest service with holistic non-surgical approaches, it is everything I believe in.


What should our readers know about your business?
All my businesses are set out to serve individuals with heart, commitment and, loyalty. I own three businesses and started with teaching BLS (CPR) to healthcare providers and individuals. Teaching has always been a fulfilling role for me and I just love to educate on saving lives. I try to keep it fun and interactive as I feel like most people retain information better. People should know, I take every opportunity to obtain continuing education so that I can deliver quality information. My ultimate passion is being the owner of Body Slimplicity, LLC. This practice fulfills my heart and soul. I love to help others gain/ regain body confidence. My husband sometimes gets onto me because I do so many services complimentary just because I want to help. I tell him, as a business owner I have that right and choice, I serve people which serves my heart. I love to be the exception and that’s just what I set out to do. My goals are obtained when I see someone smile because they are pleased with the results and their goals are achieved. I want to make this business an affordable passage to self-confidence and health without surgical intervention. My Third Business is Body Secrets. Under this umbrella, I have two products. One is organic skincare which helps individuals slim, correct blemishes, reduce cellulite, reduce wrinkles, and much more. So many products are out there are fabricated with chemicals therefore, I wanted to create a more holistic skincare line. Boy do my clients love it, sometimes it is challenging to keep stock. The second piece of Body Secrets is my training academy where I educate body contour specialists in starting their own business, techniques, skills with body contouring, refreshers when needed, and I provide indefinite mentorship to assist specialists in growth and improvement.

Being a business owner was not easy in the beginning as there is always a lot to learn. I took several refreshers myself to ensure I put best practices in place. I continue to take courses in all areas of the businesses so I can remain up to date on processes, protocols, infection control, BLS, skincare, really everything I do. There are many lessons I have learned early on such as remain humble. What I mean is don’t ever mark yourself as the “best” because there will always be someone out there with more knowledge, skill, or fluency. I do my best for me and my clients but I also recognize someone else could be better. Therefore, I serve individuals humbly, wholeheartedly, and with that many blessings come.


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?
If my best friend was visiting I would take them to Dallas World Aquarium. I just love the peaceful environment. We would also go to the JFK Museum. I’m not a history buff but that museum was incredibly interesting, I learned a lot. The stockyards would be another fun place to go especially if it’s rodeo season. I love to hang out downtown Fort Worth since there are so many restaurants and entertainment. Additionally, I would take her to some of my favorite restaurants which first and foremost would be Branded Burger. I seriously could eat a burger every day, that is my go-to meal so long as it’s a good one. Another place I enjoy is the Arlington Highlands, quite honestly we could eat every day in the Highlands since there are many choices.


Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My husband and three daughters are my inspiration they are the reason I pushed to complete my degrees and set out for this Journey. They always support and encourage me in all that I do. I am also thankful for my past employers because with some of them I was able to obtain business skills and so much knowledge. I learned humility, humbleness, and how to craft myself into being an example. There isn’t one specific person I could name since I learned a piece of something through every endeavor. I would like to shoutout my two franchisee’s Veronica in Round Rock and Kim in Carrollton. These ladies are rock stars and inspire me daily. We support one another by encouragement or if we find a technique that works well we ensure we all know about it so we deliver the best quality to our clients. I’ve learned so much through every person I have crossed paths with and for that I’m grateful.
