12 Days of Christmas #12 – Earth & Soul Vibrations

Teresa del Rosario Santiago is the proud owner of Earth & Soul Vibrations. A swap meet business, mainly dedicated to the distribution of crystals and quartz. You can find her at the LACC Swap Meet in Los Angeles. Teresa has a very welcoming personality and an expertise on crystals and quartz. She is a courageous and visionary woman.

She has sought the country and abroad to find quality crystals and quartz for her growing clientele. Her business began to grow fast and the need for formal licenses and permits was necessary. The pandemic also highlighted a need for online sales. Teresa found out about the “Crece tu Negocio” program for swap meet sellers and decided to register.

With the help of the NEW Women’s Business Center team, she persevered in attending all of her classes. Teresa completed her program and received a certificate, a logo design for her business, consulting sessions with focus on marketing, online sales and an overall business plan, and a professional photo session for her promotions on social media. She was able to get their Licenses and Permits, her DBA, created her own job, and applied and received a microloan.  She was awarded with the CA Dream Fund Grant

Teresa said, “The NEW WBC  has helped me to have a formal business in California, and now is giving me a sustainable income. My next step is to open an online store”
