A Day in the Life of a Wellness Entrepreneur

When you are taking care of others for a living, you have to learn to take the best care of yourself that you can! Before becoming a massage therapist, yoga teacher and entrepreneur, my health was usually on the back burner. I had an active lifestyle, but I wasn't consciously considering how to best care for my body, mind and spirit.

I realized pretty quickly, however, that if I wanted to do this wellness work long term, I was going to have to learn to fill my cup first so that I could keep filling the wellness cup of others! Here's a peek in to my day and how I manage to stay well while holding space for others.
