Alicia Russ
Alicia Russ is the founder and owner of Glo IV Spa, a Charlotte-based mobile IV hydration and wellness company delivering luxury, concierge-style vitamin therapy services. She specializes in providing on-site wellness experiences for weddings, corporate events, athletes, private clients, and community partnerships. Alicia’s mission is to make proactive health support convenient, personalized, and accessible, helping clients feel energized, balanced, and restored wherever they are.
With more than 20 years of experience in the medical field, Alicia began her career as an X-ray technologist before advancing into roles supporting navigation technology for complex brain and spine surgeries. After taking time away from clinical work to raise her son, she combined her medical background with a passion for holistic wellness to build Glo IV Spa from the ground up. As a business owner, she has led everything from protocol research and compliance to client care and strategic partnerships, growing a brand centered on safety, education, and results-driven wellness.
Alicia’s philosophy focuses on supporting the whole person — body, mind, and lifestyle — through hydration, nutrient therapy, and preventive wellness practices. She is passionate about empowering others to take charge of their health and sees IV therapy as a tool to enhance performance, recovery, and overall vitality. Through community collaboration, educational outreach, and elevated client experiences, Alicia continues to position Glo IV Spa as a trusted partner in modern, mobile wellness.

What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I encourage young women entering this industry to trust their intuition and follow the inner voice that guides them toward their passions. There will be setbacks and a learning curve, but those moments are part of the journey, not signs to stop. When you feel called to pursue something, move forward with confidence and don’t look back. Stay connected to your purpose, trust the guidance you receive, and never give up on yourself.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
I value living a healthy, balanced life and taking care of both my body and mind so I can show up fully for others. Staying active, practicing mindfulness, and prioritizing wellness are important to me personally and professionally. I also deeply value time with my son and exposing him to the world through travel, culture, and new experiences. Creating a life centered on growth, presence, and well-being is at the heart of everything I do.
