David - I've been studying sales and marketing for holistic practitioners with the Thrive Academy and am THRILLED with the results their programs provide. They do not exaggerate their offer and the promises they make! Worth every dollar invested. http://www.thrive-academy.com/

Hello group :)  I just wanted to introduce myself.  My name is Katie Nowotarski.  I am an LMT in Reading, PA and new to this site.  Although I was licensed last January, I was unable to practice as I became pregnant not too long after being licensed and was sick throughout.  Now I have a happy and healthy 2 week old little girl.  I am pursuing doing mobile massage as I cannot afford my own space yet.  Does anyone have any tips regarding this type of practice?  I know there are obviously some safety concerns that accompany travelling to clients' homes, offices, etc.  So I was curious to hear some feedback on this.  Thank you very much.

I have had the benefit of a lot of free time on my hands early in my career and learned quickly that I needed to market myself well. I haven't paid for any coaching, but take advantage of marketing/coaching specialists' free newsletters, webinars, etc. Names I recommend: Jeanna Gabellini, Robert Middleton, and (though I feel I've outgrown need for her to be in my email inbox anymore, I do follow on Twitter:) Stacy Karacostas. There may have been others along the way, but those are the ones I still stick with. Some are just ... annoying/not very helpful. The launching point for my marketing was reading Guerrilla Marketing in 30 Days by Jay Conrad Levinson.

Have people used professional coaching to build their practice successfully. Who did they use?  who do you recommend?

I joined the chamber and volunteered chair massage at local community events ($1 per minute if it was a paid event) but mostly just free or for tips.

I have my name on my truck too.

handed out coupons.

am having a great start and getting my name out.

hope this helps

Hi. Just a note...Looking at these photos of you all- I would start with an updated professional photo. Do not under estimate what spending a few dollars on a pro photo and having a quick retouch done can do for your professional image. Some of them are great but the majority could use a new one. As a pro photographer who does celebrities and head shots- I recommend having a new head shot done every 3 years. Keep it on your biz card so people know who you are- The shot should be simple, clean and just your head and shoulders in a  good lighting environment with a decent camera. Does not need to be a studio shot- natural light is beautiful if thats more your style- but should be professionally done to show you in your best light. Then use the  'new age' or whatever visual you have be secondary or on the back- if it really identifies you- otherwise leave it for decor in your office waiting room. Also developing a unique logo can be crucial to people remembering you.
