Today we’d like to introduce you to Tonya Pledger.
Tonya, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I’m a walking testimony of transformation. From federal employee to founder of a multi-location wellness business, she has poured her passion into creating spaces where women can breathe, bloom, and build. Her legacy began with Love Your V by T—offering yoni steams long before it became mainstream—and now includes Vivrè Wellness, two wellness suites, a growing product line, and the co-ownership of Zuri Transportation.
Her belief? Healing should be holistic, beautiful, and accessible. Through Vivrè, she is setting the new standard—where rest is celebrated, products are purposeful, and elevation is non-negotiable.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
definitely has not been a completely smooth road. Along the way there were challenges like balancing finances, staying motivated during slow seasons, learning through trial and error, and managing the pressure of building something while still handling everyday responsibilities. There were moments of doubt, setbacks, and unexpected obstacles, but each struggle helped build resilience, patience, and experience. Looking back, the difficult moments became part of the growth process and helped shape a stronger vision and purpose moving forward.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am the owner of Vivre Suites, a wellness and beauty-centered business focused on creating experiences that help people feel confident, cared for, and restored. My work includes providing spaces and services that support beauty professionals, wellness practices, and self-care experiences. I specialize in creating environments that combine relaxation, healing, and luxury while also building opportunities for entrepreneurs in the beauty and wellness industry.
I’m known for my creativity, vision, and passion for helping others grow. Whether it’s through wellness products, sauna services, women’s wellness education, transportation experiences, or creating spaces where professionals can thrive, my goal is always to make people feel seen, valued, and empowered.
What I’m most proud of is building a brand and business that reflects purpose, community, and resilience. Every challenge along the journey has helped shape the vision behind what I do today. I’m especially proud of creating opportunities for others while continuing to expand services that support both physical wellness and personal confidence.
What sets me apart is the personal touch and heart behind everything I create. I don’t just focus on services — I focus on experiences. I believe in authenticity, creating welcoming environments, and building genuine relationships with clients and tenants. My ability to combine wellness, beauty, creativity, and community into one vision is what makes my work unique.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give credit to?
There are so many people who deserve credit for being part of this journey. First and foremost, my family and close supporters have played a huge role by encouraging me, believing in my vision, and standing beside me during both the highs and the challenging moments. Their support gave me the motivation to keep pushing forward even when things were uncertain.
I’m also incredibly thankful for the clients, tenants, and customers who continue to trust and support my business. Their loyalty, referrals, and belief in what I offer have helped the business grow and evolve. Every person who has booked a service, leased a suite, attended an event, or shared words of encouragement has contributed to the success of the brand.
I’ve also learned a lot from other entrepreneurs and professionals in the beauty and wellness industry. Watching others build, create, and overcome obstacles inspired me to continue expanding my own vision. Some have shared advice, resources, encouragement, or simply led by example, and that guidance has been valuable throughout my journey.
Most importantly, I give credit to God for giving me the vision, strength, creativity, and perseverance to continue building with purpose. Faith has been a major part of staying grounded and focused throughout the process.
