Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

As a veteran with PTSD and a single parent with limited support, I’ve struggled to balance parenthood and self-care. Massage therapy, often misunderstood as a luxury, offers physical, emotional, and cognitive benefits. Despite my efforts to receive massage services for PTSD, previous injuries, and stress management, I couldn’t do this while simultaneously working and parenting full-time. This experience inspired me to help others in similar situations.

How do you stay motivated?

My greatest motivation comes from my daughter. She holds immense significance in my life, and I am determined to demonstrate to her that anything is achievable. As long as your heart is in the right place, things will inevitably turn out for the best.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I now provide mobile massage services to those who like myself, have limited resources but are in need of service. With, 25k I would lease a commercial space that not only offers massage services but also has a child watch for clients to conveniently drop their children off for the duration of service received.
