Claire Robinson on Nine Years of Nursing, Launching Afterglow Three Months Pregnant, and Building Sandy Springs’ Most Trusted Wellness Practice

Today, we care for clients from our office in Sandy Springs and through our mobile concierge services across the Metro Atlanta area. We offer IV vitamin therapy, wellness injections, regenerative skin treatments, and advanced wellness therapies, with the convenience of bringing treatments directly to clients in their homes, offices, gyms, hotels, and at events.

What makes Afterglow unique is that it’s a nurse-owned practice built on nearly a decade of clinical experience. I strive to bring the same level of compassion, attention to detail, and commitment to safety that I’ve practiced throughout my nursing career into every client experience. I want every client to feel heard, cared for, and confident in the treatment plan we create together.

I’ve been a registered nurse for nearly nine years, with experience in pediatrics, travel nursing, and wellness medicine. Over the past four years, I developed a passion for preventative health while also going through my own personal health journey. That experience inspired me to create a business that combines medical expertise with a more personalized approach to wellness.

Starting Afterglow was a leap of faith. I launched the business while I was three months pregnant with my first child and during a season of uncertainty for my family, but trusting my instincts turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

I love building genuine relationships with my clients and helping them feel their best. It’s incredibly rewarding to educate people about their health, celebrate their progress, and watch them gain confidence as they begin feeling better.

Atlanta is such a diverse and vibrant community, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to care for people from all walks of life. The trust my clients place in me is something I never take for granted.

One treatment I always encourage first-time clients to learn more about is our Niagen IV therapy. Niagen supports healthy NAD levels, helping improve cellular energy production, mental clarity, recovery, and healthy aging. It’s one of my favorite treatments because it supports health at the cellular level.

Every client is different, so I always begin with a conversation about their goals and recommend treatments based on their individual needs. My goal is for every client to leave feeling educated, confident, and like the healthiest and best version of themselves.

I think what sets Afterglow apart is the combination of being a nurse-owned practice and providing a truly personalized experience. Every client receives one-on-one attention, giving me the opportunity to understand their goals, answer their questions, and create a plan that’s tailored specifically to them.

I’m also proud that Afterglow is built on a strong medical foundation. My nursing background shapes every aspect of the business, from prioritizing safety and compliance to ensuring clients receive honest guidance and evidence-based care.

I never want anyone to feel like just another appointment. Building lasting relationships and being someone my clients can trust throughout their wellness journey is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

One of the biggest challenges has been balancing life as a new business owner and a new mom. Because Afterglow is still growing and my clients rely on me, I returned to work just two weeks postpartum. It wasn’t an easy decision, but I was committed to continuing to provide the level of care my clients have come to expect.

That experience taught me the importance of being adaptable, asking for help when I need it, and finding balance even when life doesn’t go exactly as planned. It’s also given me an even greater appreciation for supporting others on their own health and wellness journeys, because I know firsthand how important it is to feel your best while juggling life’s many responsibilities.

My proudest accomplishment has been earning the trust of my clients and watching the business grow primarily through word of mouth. There is no greater compliment than having someone recommend Afterglow to their friends and family because they had such a positive experience.

I’m also incredibly proud of building a business that reflects my values. From day one, my goal has been to provide safe, personalized, medically guided care while creating an experience where every client feels genuinely cared for. Seeing that vision come to life has been incredibly rewarding.

One experience I’ll never forget was receiving a last-minute request for a mobile visit from a well-known celebrity. It was such a surreal moment because I had no idea it was coming, and it reminded me how far the business had come in such a short amount of time.

While I always protect my clients’ privacy, that experience was a meaningful milestone for me. It reinforced that people value personalized, professional care and trust Afterglow to deliver a high-quality experience wherever they are. Moments like that make me incredibly grateful for the relationships I’ve built and the reputation the business has earned.

My biggest piece of advice is to do your research and choose a provider who prioritizes safety, education, and personalized care. Wellness treatments should never be one-size-fits-all, and you should feel comfortable asking questions and understanding exactly what you’re receiving and why.

It’s also important to remember that wellness is a journey, not a quick fix. The best results come from combining treatments with healthy lifestyle habits and having a provider who helps you create a plan that’s tailored to your individual goals.

My goal is to continue growing Afterglow while staying true to the personalized care and medical integrity the business was built on. I’d love to become even more involved in the local community by partnering with other businesses, participating in community events, and continuing to educate people about proactive health and wellness.

Above all, I want Afterglow to be known as a trusted place where clients receive honest guidance, personalized care, and treatments that help them feel like the healthiest and best version of themselves.

I just want to thank the Metro Atlanta community for supporting a local, nurse-owned small business. The encouragement I’ve received since opening Afterglow has meant more than I can put into words.

My hope is that Afterglow continues to be a place where people feel comfortable asking questions, learning about their health, and taking a proactive approach to wellness. If I can help someone feel healthier, more confident, and more like themselves, then I’ve accomplished exactly what I set out to do.
