What began as Vivian Nyaga's mobile massage business in Nairobi in 2019 has since expanded into Viv's In-Houz Spa, a permanent wellness center in Kitisuru, offering a full range of beauty and wellness services. The expansion was driven by client demand for a physical location outside their homes.

• The mobile venture started with a Sh40,000 investment in portable equipment and essential products.
• Vivian Nyaga, founder, combined her Diploma in Business Management and Diploma in Beauty Therapy to build her enterprise.
• The new Kitisuru spa welcomes both men and women, while mobile services for male clients are only accepted when a woman who booked the service is present.
• Pricing for services like sugar waxing starts from Sh1,000, while massages begin at Sh2,000 per hour.
• The spa prioritizes social impact, supporting women facing health issues and offering specialized treatments like recovery and lymphatic drainage massages.
