Michelle Davis created STL Contouring and Health Consulting because she wanted to help people eager to make their bodies look better. Two years into her still-growing business, she’s doing just that.
“The love of skin is basically what I am,” Davis said. “I love skin. I love people that want to nourish in a non-invasive way. I am finding that a lot of products were causing the body to have a disease. Because putting different lotions and creams are causing changes in people’s bodies because of different chemicals.”
STL Contouring and Health Consulting specializes in treatments that will enhance the overall look and appearance of the area that is being targeted. The focus here at 11581 West Florissant Ave., Suite 1A, is on nutrition, health and wellness.
Davis mentioned that a huge part of her quest for health and nutrition comes from her father, Leon Harris, a veteran Biochemist who is trained in nutrition science. He’s in control of the health consulting portion of the business.
Davis is all about maintaining healthy skin. Invasive treatments like liposuction, laser cavitation, and radio frequency may be popular ways to enhance the body, but they also can produce unhealthy side effects, Davis said.
The approach she takes is in direct contrast to the well-known “Brazilian Butt Lift”(BBL), which is an invasive procedure where fat is moved to a different part of a person’s body. The non-invasive approach is Davis’ calling card.
Davis business really attracts a diverse group of customers, many of whom use contouring as a routine.
“My clientele is really diverse,” she said. “A lot of Caucasian women … for them this is their regular routine to maintain their body and maintain fat reduced in targeted areas. I do understand that Black women do receive this type of treatment, but within my community it is not as much, it is not as vast.
Pamela Current is a client who considered getting the BBL until she found out about STL Contouring and Health Consulting.
“I found out about STL Contouring and Health Consulting from long-time friend, and former parent, Michelle Davis herself,” Current said. “Michelle reached out to me back in June, and wanted to offer me a free session as well as consultation on non-invasive lipo body contouring procedure. Without hesitation, I agreed. From someone who had considered having a BBL I was all in.”
Current also expressed that the experience of her treatments were great.
“My experience with STL Contouring and Health Consulting was absolutely amazing,” Current said. “I was made to feel comfortable, as well as safe. Prior to the appointment, Mrs. Davis and I had a 90-minute consultation where she explained the procedure as well as a plethora of other pertinent healthy habit conversations. The overall experience has been great, and my body has been releasing the toxins as well as the melted fat in the manner in which it’s supposed to. I cannot wait to complete the entire session.”
Davis has a website https://stlchc799.my.canva.site/stl-contouringhc that she created and maintains on her own. Her website is the way to book appointments and browse the prices of the packages she offers.
Davis expressed that even though the approach is contouring the body, a huge focus is the health & wellness/nutrition side.
“We want to be sticky. I always use the word sticky when I talk to my clients. I want them to know that I’m here to help them beyond getting an initial treatment with me,” Davis said. “Health & Wellness, structuring what works for your body, how to eat, what to eat, will only compliment the services that I do.’’
