In a city known for its vibrant wellness culture, Houston entrepreneur and nurse Dajah Barkley is redefining what luxury self-care looks like. Her new venture, The Health Lounge (THL), brings science, serenity, and style together in one stunning space, setting a new standard for luxury wellness in Houston.
Located in East Downtown at 3420 Rusk Street, Suite 38, The Health Lounge officially opens its doors Wednesday, November 12 from 4 PM to 7 PM, inviting guests to unwind, connect, and experience what modern self-care truly feels like.
A Vision Born from Balance
For Dajah Barkley, launching The Health Lounge was more than a business move, it was a calling.
“As women, we give so much to everyone else. I wanted to create a space that gives back to us, where wellness isn’t an afterthought but a way of life,” Williams shares.
After years of working in clinical environments, Williams noticed how disconnected people had become from their own wellness. She wanted to merge her medical background with her love for beauty, creating a sanctuary where wellness and confidence coexist. Her goal is to make advanced beauty and wellness treatments approachable yet luxurious, an experience that nurtures both body and soul.
Where Science Meets Serenity
The Health Lounge isn’t your average medspa. It’s an immersive experience designed to help women feel their best from the inside out.
The service menu includes custom facials, IV hydration therapy, body contouring, microneedling, and chemical peels, each customized to individual needs. Every treatment uses medical-grade products from Epicutis and SkinBetter Science, paired with cutting-edge technology within an environment that feels more like a high-end retreat than a clinic.
“My goal is for every person who walks through our doors to feel cared for; not just on the surface, but on a soul level,” says Williams. For busy professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs, The Health Lounge is the ultimate reset button.
The Grand Opening Glow
The grand opening will be more than a celebration. It’s the start of a movement in Houston’s luxury wellness scene. Guests can expect an evening filled with community, connection, and relaxation. The event will feature signature cocktails and light bites, live DJ sets, exclusive treatment demonstrations, and a series of luxury giveaways. Prizes include a Facial Balancing Package, a Chemical Peel or Microneedling Session, an Epicutis Luxe Skincare Set, a SkinBetter A-Team Duo Kit, My Fit Foods meal packages, and a personal training session. The experience promises to be as rejuvenating as it is inspiring.
Redefining Wellness — One Woman at a Time
With The Health Lounge, Dajah Barkley isn’t just opening a business; she’s creating a wellness movement for women. Her journey from nurse to entrepreneur proves that taking care of others begins with taking care of yourself.
“Feeling good is the new luxury,” she says, and she’s here to make sure Houston feels it. Every scent, sound, and design element inside The Health Lounge was chosen to inspire calm, confidence, and connection. It’s a space that reminds women that self-care isn’t selfish — it’s essential.
