Founder of The Spice Isle Notary LLC
Inside The Notary Blueprint® (TNB) Community, we’re thrilled to highlight Cinammon Keens-Douglas, proud owner of The Spice Isle Notary LLC, as our October Member of the Month! Based in Flowery Branch, Georgia, Cinammon brings warmth, professionalism, and cultural pride to her work, naming her business in honor of her Grenadian heritage, fondly known as the “Isle of Spice.” Her mobile notary company serves communities across Georgia, especially Northeast Atlanta, offering clients a signing experience that’s both seamless and stress-free.
At The Spice Isle Notary LLC, Cinammon specializes in estate planning documents, real estate transactions, powers of attorney, affidavits, and general notarizations—delivering service rooted in care and precision.
How It All Began
Cinammon’s journey into the notary profession started with her interest in real estate. While learning about property transactions, she realized just how vital notaries are in bringing important documents to completion. That spark led her to earn her Notary Public Commission and National Notary Association certification in October 2024.
Fast-forward to August 2025, when she discovered The Notary Blueprint® Community, a move she describes as “a major part of my growth in just three months.” The guidance, resources, and encouragement she found within TNB motivated her to officially launch The Spice Isle Notary LLC shortly after joining.
To now be recognized as October's Member of the Month within that same community is, as she puts it, “an absolute honor.”
Growing A Business With Grace
Like many new entrepreneurs, Cinammon’s biggest challenge has been building awareness and confidence as a business owner. There’s a lot to juggle at the start.. marketing, networking, document knowledge.. but she quickly learned that “consistency, professionalism, and community support make all the difference.”
Her first clients came through word of mouth after she mailed marketing flyers to local nursing homes and businesses. Since then, she’s expanded through Google reviews, social media visibility, and signing company partnerships, all while maintaining her commitment to client care.
Defining Her Niche
Cinammon’s primary clientele includes individuals and families completing estate planning documents and real estate professionals seeking reliable, certified notaries.
She believes that finding a niche early on is key to building confidence:
“Focusing on estate planning has helped me develop my expertise and build deeper connections with clients who truly value that specialized knowledge.
Goals and Growth
For the year ahead, Cinammon aims to strengthen her local and online presence, deepen connections with estate planning attorneys and real estate professionals, and continue refining her systems through lessons learned in The Notary Blueprint® Community.
Looking ahead five years, she envisions The Spice Isle Notary LLC expanding its reach while remaining independently owned, growing through community partnerships and becoming a trusted name for exceptional notarial services throughout Georgia.
Lessons, Motivation and Support
The biggest lesson Cinammon has learned is that growth takes time, but every small step counts. “Consistency, preparation, and community keep you moving forward, even on the tough days.”
Her motivation comes from knowing the difference she makes for her clients: helping families with estate documents or guiding someone through a stressful process brings her deep fulfillment.
She credits her family, fiancé, and close friends as her strongest supporters, her parents even helped name her business! And of course, she holds immense gratitude for The Notary Blueprint® Community, calling it “another huge source of encouragement” where “everyone genuinely wants to see each other succeed.”
Systems For Success
Cinammon’s success is grounded in preparation, practice, and organization. She reviews every document before appointments, confirms all details, and follows up with reflection after each signing to ensure continuous improvement.
This level of professionalism hasn’t gone unnoticed as is a huge contributor to being nominated for Member of the Month just a few months into her journey. This stands as a testament to her dedication and passion.
Final Words of Wisdom
“Becoming a notary has been one of the most fulfilling decisions I’ve ever made. What started as an interest in real estate grew into a passion for service, professionalism, and connection.”
Through The Spice Isle Notary LLC, Cinammon Keens-Douglas continues to represent her Caribbean heritage with pride and excellence by building a business that reflects not only her commitment to her clients, but also her belief in community and continuous growth.
