What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am a Fitness, Life, and Money Mindset Coach
- Behavioral Change Specialist
- Licensed Massage Therapist
- And Wellness Retreat Coordinator
I motivate and empower others to reclaim power over their life through movement, meditation, mindfulness practices, massage, and mountain views. My customers are primarily women ages 25+ who are looking to create a better balance between work and home life.
Tell us about yourself.
I first developed a deep passion for holistic health and wealth practices after a nearly fatal car crash back in 2009. I was in massage school at the time and have furthered my career by also becoming a certified personal trainer and behavior change specialist.
I worked in the gyms for 8.5 years before starting my own business in 2020 at the height of the pandemic. My desire to help reduce self-imposed suffering on earth is what motivates me to get up and do what I do every day.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is the fact that I have managed to create a sustainable business that allows me to do work that I love without having to sacrifice time with family and friends. I have created both time and financial freedom for myself with a business that helps create a powerful and positive change in the world.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things that come with being a business owner is the fact that not everyone will understand why I do what I do, and I had to get over the idea of trying to be liked by everyone.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Be authentic.
- Stay connected to your "why."
- Don't compare yourself to what other people are doing.
