Hey Hillsboro,
First, thank you.
Because of your support, Naturally By Nature has been in business for 12 years, and for the past two years I’ve been grateful to be part of our historic uptown district. I love being able to offer yoga, Reiki, relaxation massage, classes, workshops, and a retail space that supports your wellness and spiritual journey.
Today, I’d like to ask for your honest feedback.
As business owners, we meet regularly through HUBA to brainstorm new events, themed promotions, and ways to create a more enjoyable and connected uptown experience. We put a lot of heart into what we do, but we’re noticing that foot traffic isn’t quite where it needs to be for many businesses to thrive.
So I’d love to hear from you:
• What would make you visit uptown more often?
• What types of events would you attend?
• Are there businesses, products, services, or experiences you’d like to see?
• What would make downtown feel more inviting, fun, or convenient?
Please keep in mind that many of our local businesses are family-owned and operated by just one person. Most of us wear all the hats—owner, manager, marketer, bookkeeper, and employee—while also balancing family responsibilities. We do our best to offer convenient hours and special events, but there are limits to what a small business can do on its own.
We understand that parking can be frustrating at times, and we share those concerns as well. Unfortunately, that’s something outside of our control.
We truly care about our community and want to keep uptown vibrant and alive for years to come. Your ideas, feedback, and support matter more than you know.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
💜 Kelly Sunny Rae
Owner, Naturally By Nature
