Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My biggest inspiration behind Chi La Massage is the freedom to build something rooted in purpose. With over 15 years in massage and human services, I’ve always served others…now I’m creating a space that reflects healing, care, and community. As a mother and leader, I’m driven to show my children what it means to lead with heart and turn passion into purpose.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering my “why”.. my family. They are my daily reminder to keep pushing, even when it gets hard. I want to build a legacy they can be proud of and show them what resilience, faith, and consistency look like. Knowing that I’m creating something bigger than myself keeps me focused, grounded, and committed to the vision.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I would scale Chi La Massage by securing a dedicated space, upgrading equipment, and expanding marketing to reach more clients. This investment would allow me to grow my client base, extend service hours, and add specialized services like lymphatic and prenatal care—positioning my business for long-term growth and greater community impact.
