About Us

YOUvitalize Team

Shar Dukart is an enthusiastic entrepreneur with a passion for overall wellness and all things spa. She also thrives on planning events such as showers, spa parties and weddings. Shar spent five years dreaming about owning a wellness spa and venue, accumulating lots of ideas along the way, before it became a reality. After graduating from Napoleon High School, Shar attended RD Hairstyling and went on to become a Master Cosmetologist. A couple of years later she earned a degree in Business Management from Bismarck State College. Her many years of gymnastics experience and coaching led her to bungee. After training in Minneapolis in 2017, she became certified as the first Fly Bungee Fitness Trainer in North Dakota. She is married to Gene Dukart, owner of GD Cabinets and Construction and you will see that Gene’s beautiful craftsmanship is evident throughout the YOUvitalize facility. Gene has recently retired from construction and is now a daily part of serving YOUvitalize clients. In their spare-time, Shar & Gene enjoy camping with family and friends and spending time with their son Brian, and two grandsons, Gavin and Holden. They have dedicated YOUvitalize in remembrance of their daughter Brittany, who was a fabulous Master Cosmetologist and Nail Artist. Shar & Gene’s mission and goal for YOUvitalize is to provide a positive, fun, no judgement, community atmosphere where everyone feels welcome!
