In this episode of Take 5 With Tracie, produced by the Greater EMC Chamber, I sit down with Stephanie Harris, founder of Lifestyle — a wellness studio in Kingwood that blends science, beauty and nutrition to help clients look and feel their best. What began as Stephanie’s personal journey has become a full-service studio offering noninvasive body and skin treatments, nutritional support and an in-store wellness boutique.

About Lifestyle Wellness Studio

Lifestyle was born from Stephanie’s own struggles and her desire to create effective, science-backed treatments. From the moment I met her, it was clear this is a studio built on empathy, evidence and real results. Stephanie designed protocols that pair technology with supportive nutrition and proprietary skincare to maximize client outcomes.

Services and technology: results without surgery

Stephanie has curated a suite of noninvasive treatments that address fat reduction, skin laxity and muscle tone. Key services include:

• Laser lipo and ultrasonic cavitation for targeted fat reduction
• Radio frequency treatments for skin tightening
• Electromagnetic energy sessions for muscle building
• Infrared body wraps to assist in detoxification and contouring

A practical alternative or complement to surgery

One of the things that really surprised me: Lifestyle finished in the top three for Houston Chronicle’s “Best of the Best” mommy makeover category — a distinction that puts Stephanie’s results in league with traditional surgical options. She’s clear that Lifestyle isn’t trying to replace plastic surgeons; rather, they serve as a pre- and post-operative partner and a non-surgical alternative for many clients.

Holistic approach: nutrition + proprietary organic skincare

Stephanie emphasizes a three-part approach: technology, nutrition and skincare. As she told me,

"Beauty really is what we put inside our bodies as well as outside."

Last year Stephanie completed a formulation course and created her own line of organic, proprietary skincare blends designed to work in tandem with the studio’s machines — a thoughtful way to amplify treatment results rather than relying on technology alone.

Wellness boutique: small luxuries and farm-fresh finds

At the front of the studio Stephanie has curated a small wellness boutique. It carries:

• Organic soaps and teas
• Crystal beads and wellness accessories
• Farm-fresh chicken and duck eggs

That combination of clinical services and cozy retail makes Lifestyle a place that feels like self-care from the moment you walk in.

Location and atmosphere

Lifestyle is tucked away at 1210 Hamblin Road, Suite 900 in Kingwood — intentionally so. Stephanie explained they designed the space for relaxation and focused self-care, giving clients a quiet environment to begin their transformation.

Community and the chamber: why connections matter

I asked Stephanie why she’s renewed her Greater EMC Chamber membership for five years. Her answer focused on ROI and relationships.

"The real reason that I've renewed over and over and over again is the connection... It's almost like having a family there to support you on your journey."

That sentiment is a reminder that small businesses benefit not only from networking events and promotional opportunities, but from trusted advisors and peers who show up when you need them most.

Recognition: Houston Chronicle Best of the Best

Being voted among the top three mommy makeover spots in Houston by the Houston Chronicle was a major milestone for Stephanie and Lifestyle. It validates the studio’s approach and underscores that noninvasive protocols, paired with nutrition and supportive skincare, can achieve impressive outcomes.

If you’re considering surgical or non-surgical options after pregnancy, Stephanie’s team can work with you before or after procedures to enhance results and support recovery.
