About The Therapy Business Mentor

Hi, I'm Rachel.

I'm a massage therapist, educator and business mentor, and I created The Therapy Business Mentor to give massage, bodywork and complementary therapists the kind of practical business support that's often hard to find.

Not more noise. Not another list of things you should be doing.

Support that helps you understand what's actually happening in your business, work out what matters next and make decisions that fit the business — and life — you're trying to build.

I’m not mentoring from a textbook. I’ve built this too.

But I certainly didn’t have it all figured out when I started…

I qualified as a massage therapist in February 2020. A few weeks later, the country went into lockdown.

But I’d already started building my business while I was training — practising, getting visible locally and learning how to market myself.

By October 2021, less than two years after qualifying, my clinic was fully booked across the hours I wanted to work. I left my NHS job and went on to build a waiting list of around 100 people.

Today, I still run my therapy practice alongside my other businesses and my work with the School of Bodywork. My experience in the profession has also taken me beyond the treatment room — from tutoring and examining to business education and speaking at the National Massage Championship.

I didn’t get there because I found the perfect business strategy.

I learnt how to make decisions, notice what was working, change what wasn’t and build a business that worked for me.

That’s what I now help other therapists do.

I don't believe there's one right way to build a therapy business.

Your business has to work for you — not just look successful from the outside.

More clients aren't always the answer. Neither is posting more, raising your prices or adding another treatment.

Sometimes the thing that's holding a business back is much less obvious. That's why I don't start with a formula or a list of things you should be doing. I start by understanding what's actually happening in your business.

Then we work out what matters next.

NO FORMULA

Your business doesn't need to look like somebody else's.

NO MORE NOISE

You probably don't need another list of things you should be doing.

CLARITY FIRST

Understand what's actually going on. Then decide what deserves your attention.

If you're a massage, bodywork or complementary therapist and the business side feels harder than it should, I can help.

Whether you're newly qualified, established but stuck, or simply not sure what needs your attention next, we can start by working that out together.
