Inspiring Conversations with Barbara Purdom of RevitaLife

Today we’d like to introduce you to Barbara Purdom.

Hi Barbara, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
My journey in health, wellness, and quantum energy healing began in 2019 with the opening of a medspa. While we successfully assisted clients with anti-aging, weight management, and various concerns, I began to recognize that many of our treatments provided only temporary, superficial results. They did not address the root causes at a cellular level. This realization prompted me to explore more natural, holistic approaches including utilizing the emerging field of quantum energy.

In 2022, I took a significant step by enrolling in a PhD program focused on Natural Medicine and Quantum Energy. It meant starting completed over despire having a MBA and a MAED. I was able to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Holistic Health Sciences, and most recently, I completed my Master’s in Natural Medicine. I also obtained my board-certification as a holistic health practitioner. Currently, I am working on my dissertation and advancing through my PhD coursework, and I am genuinely excited about this ongoing journey.

While initially, I launched an independent medspa in 2019 the following year, the impact of COVID-19 profoundly affected our operation. Although the covid challenges persisted medically for two years, it was the economic repercussions that ultimately compelled me to close the business formally in 2023. This was a difficult decision, and I felt a deep sense of heartbreak. Nonetheless, I understood that financially, it was a necessary step. More importantly, this experience reinforced my commitment to personal growth and to pursuing a path aligned with natural medicine and energetic healing—both for my wellbeing and for serving others. In some ways, I would not be pursuing my passion right now with this holistic wellness focus had this pandemic and economic downturn not have happend. Still this was a very hard situation that impacted us not just financially but also with deep emotional repurcussions.

In 2024, I began offering select services to the public as part of our beta testing of a health-focused, holistic approaches to wellness and energy work. The response was inspiring, and in 2025, I officially launched RevitaLife—my private practice dedicated to holistic wellness & healing. We offer in-person and virtual opportunities to help others whereever they are located. I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support of my husband, Pete Purdom, who partners with me in this journey and works by my side.

Today, RevitaLife provides a range of services including health coaching, nutrigenetics, antioxidant scanning (a Nobel Prize-winning technology that delivers instant results), micronutrient and supplement therapy, and natural remedies crafted from herbs, plants, and therapeutic essential oils through my own apothecary. For clients interested in anti-aging, we also offer natural skin solutions externally and internally. Above all, my focus is on foundational wellness strategies that empower clients to care for themselves in harmony with nature’s original design. I do not view these modalities as alternatives; rather, I see them as the authentic foundation for true health and wellbeing – the original medicine!

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
As previously mentioned, the economic recovery has been challenging. I still receive inquiries from former clients of my previous medspa, and I often need to inform them of its closure and share my current endeavors. While I aim to convey that this new phase is full of exciting opportunities, it doesn’t always resonate the way I hope. Hearing their disappointment—or sometimes outright disapproval—can be difficult.

Additionally, I am navigating a branding transition, and attracting clients as a practitioner differs significantly from marketing in the aesthetic industry. I am learning this process in real-time. Motivating individuals to prioritize their health and make lasting behavioral changes remains a challenge. It’s much simpler for someone to receive an injection at a spa and leave, rather than commit to ongoing wellness efforts.

Through this journey, I’ve also learned the importance of vulnerability. Sharing meaningful and impactful stories has become a vital part of connecting with others and inspiring change.

Our goal is to transform lives through education, empowerment, and holistic care—helping people live healthier, more vibrant lives.

Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
Growing up, I was quite introverted, shy, and tended to keep to myself—something I still prefer today. I was an avid reader, deeply fascinated by different cultures, their ways of thinking, and their ways of life. I also enjoyed science fiction and horror films, which remains a personal favorite to this day. Additionally, I love history and documentaries, always seeking to learn more about the world around me.

These days, my passion has shifted toward creating formulary blends from herbs and essential oils that address various health concerns—whether it’s skin care, anti-aging, or optimizing overall wellness. My kitchen has essentially become my lab, where I craft natural remedies and solutions. Sometimes, I feel a bit sorry for Pete, as I spend a lot of time experimenting in there—not preparing meals for us, but developing lasting, impactful care products and formulations.
