Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Amanda Bach, owner of The Dragonfly Wellness, located in Calgary, AB, Canada.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Home-based and mobile RMTs that travel to meet you along your journey to wellness. From high-level athletes in training to grannies at home, we have a wide variety of skills and training to customize your massage treatment.

Tell us about yourself

This journey began when I realized my Grandmother couldn't go to and from her pedicures without having more pain and stress from the commute. I packed a spa into my car and made sure she would be able to still access the benefits of her weekly foot massage. This is where the realization hit that our large city needed quality, accessible massage therapy.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

I'd say the biggest accomplishment is bringing quality massage therapy treatments to those that need them. Beginning with a foot massage for Grandma to now, treating a wide variety of people. Ranging from new moms at home with their babies through to high-level Olympic athletes, the passion for bringing our skillset to you has proven exciting. It is thrilling to see family members become interested in their own Wellness journey, i.e.) kids asking about stretches or learning to massage mom/dad's feet.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Boundaries. There is only so much time in a day and not enough hands to massage everyone all at once. Although the need to help everyone is real, boundaries are valuable for my own mental and physical health and wellness.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

So you want to start a business? Do it. You'll never be 100% ready, so prepare as best you can and take a leap. You may end up soaring. Have boundaries. Know what you will and will not tolerate and hold a firm stance; this will grow your respectful following.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

Although running a business can have stressful days, there will also be days when you're living your best life. Find a group of like-minded individuals to help keep you on track, and ALWAYS invest in your own continued education.
