For many moms, especially those raising children with special needs, self-care often feels like an afterthought. But Whitney Johnson, CEO of The Bella Lucy Spa, is changing that mindset. As an Autism Advocate, award-winning esthetician, and expert skin healer, Whitney is on a mission to help moms reclaim their health, confidence, and joy—without guilt.

Being a mother is demanding, and for special needs moms, the challenges can feel overwhelming. Juggling doctor’s appointments, therapy sessions, and daily responsibilities often leaves them exhausted and burnt out. Whitney understands this struggle firsthand and is determined to shift the narrative—reminding moms that when they prioritize themselves, they show up stronger for their families.

Through The Bella Lucy Spa, she is creating a movement where self-care isn’t just about skincare, but about mental, emotional, and physical well-being. She encourages moms to:

✔ Take time for themselves without guilt.

✔ Set boundaries and communicate their needs.

✔ Invest in wellness and skin health as an act of self-love.

✔ Prioritizing Mental & Emotional Well-Being – Finding moments of peace, whether it’s through mindfulness, a short walk, or a simple deep breath.

✔ Physical Health & Skin Wellness – Addressing the impact stress has on the skin and body and providing real solutions through personalized treatments.

✔ Creating Guilt-Free Routines – Encouraging moms to ditch the guilt and embrace moments of self-care as a necessity, not an indulgence.

Whitney is helping moms realize that when they take care of themselves, they show up stronger, healthier, and happier for their families.

In 2024, Whitney expanded her mission by becoming an Autism Advocate, pushing for more support, resources, and awareness around self-care for special needs moms. Through personalized skincare experiences, motivational talks, and community engagement, she is building a space where moms feel valued, heard, and cared for.

Whitney’s message is simple: Self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. And for every mom who has ever put herself last, she’s here to remind you: It’s time to put yourself back on the list.

Moms pour so much into others, but true strength comes from pouring into yourself first. Self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity." — Crystal Jordan
