The Happy Healer (December 2023)
What is The Happy Healer?
The Happy Healer is all about care of the mind, body and soul. We believe healing isn’t a “one size fits all”. We need a variety of modalities blended with compassionate healers who can hold space for you while you heal. We offer craniosacral therapy, massage, energy medicine, coaching, peer support and specially curated events to help you along your healing journey.
What is your business’ story?
I started my business after a successful tenure at a large corporation, where I offered healing services. Within that setting, I felt there wasn't anywhere else for me to grow, and I knew there was more out there for me. Now, I've been in business for over ten years and I've never stopped evolving! It has truly been one of the greatest adventures of my life.
What is one obstacle you’ve overcome and what did you learn from it?
One obstacle that I overcome is the fact that I have several learning disabilities, which I felt held me back. In reality, they have given me experiences that have pushed me forward. I think and see the world so differently than others, and have a unique way of problem-solving that is very unique to my brain. Overcoming this challenge just really meant accepting myself for who I am. Everybody has different skill sets, and leaning into your own will help you and set you apart in business.
What advice do you have for other small businesses or someone wanting to start one?
If you feel a strong calling to start a small business, a deep burning in the depths of your soul, I say go for it. Be smart, but don’t let fear dictate how you navigate this process. Be authentic, be yourself, and I promise the right clients will show up at your door.
