I know what it's like to invest BIG TIME in new training, especially when you might already be struggling to support your family.
That's why I'm choosing to keep this course super affordable so you can ADD savvy business skills to your practice and get started earning money sooner.
And the best part is, when you implement just the first part of our 8 part training, you'll be set to earn back your investment with just ONE new client!
When I first started out 15 years ago...
Since then, my life has gone through a few upheavals, including a second child, a divorce, a few moves and some wild adventures as I've uncovered aspects of myself I didn't know existed.
My bodywork practice has been with me the whole way.
Even when my energy for my business ebbed, because I worked from home, I was always able to keep it afloat by offering a few appointments a week.
Now life has settled, I'm taking care of ME much better and I have heaps more energy to work with clients.
Sometimes I find it hard to believe I've been doing my thing for more than 15 years. WOW! And I still love my work and find it deeply rewarding. Double wow.
Today I have a successful home-based practice that I love and that supports me and my teenage sons AND I am able to select clients I LOVE working with without ever feeling desperate or worried where the money is coming from.
I've developed templates and systems so that I feel confident and safe seeing people in my home. I have clear boundaries, healthy rates and happy regularly returning clients.
I'm ready to share all of this (and a bunch more!) with you!

"Your ‘First Step Sisters’ online course has been fantastic! and just what I’ve needed to get me back on track, fill in the gaps, opportunity to look at the real life Qs and topics setting up massage clinic from scratch for yourself and not working for someone else who has their own way of doing things and limited flexibility or options, whilst not being overwhelmed, and having someone there to support me walking me through step by step with where to go from here...so a HUGE heart felt THANKS for being brave and starting it up. It has been absolutely perfect timing and I have forwarded on your details to many alike souls of mine changing their life/career paths. I’m ready for my new RM adventure, with longevity as a definite aim! "
