Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jessica Coady, founder of Coady CXN, located in Ottawa, ON, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business inspires and empowers others to reconnect with their body, function, and story. I work with those who hope to regain control of their performance and function day to day, limit their excuses, and strive for more than standardized conservative healthcare expects of them. I am a chiropractor on paper, but I truly like to think that I spend my days meeting those with a story that links to their pain or performance and helping them gain a new perspective- one that empowers them to change how they manage their pain and the associated effect of their lives.
Tell us about yourself
My patients motivate me. It only takes helping someone make a small change with big outcomes that encourages you to keep going daily. I started working in healthcare as a chiropractor because I "wanted to help people." I quickly realized that what I actually needed to do was serve them to dig deep and connect with themselves instead of being seen as someone who needed help.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Currently, I work with a developmental provincial sports organization to facilitate athlete care. This has been an insightful and exciting look at youth sports compared to my own experiences in sports growing up. This has been a big accomplishment for me. I've also started working alongside a few other healthcare professionals to create a complex and chronic pain program- this will be lifelong work for me and where I really resonate with making the most impact. I'm excited to see where the future takes me in this area.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Keeping up with the dynamic marketing trends and needs to stay relevant and accessible across all markets and platforms
