Beider - Massage MBA: Run Your Practice, Love Your Life

PRAISE for Rachel Beider & Massage MBA

Rachel's book is the spark I needed to take the first steps to converting my side-hustle massage practice into a thriving business! Any doubts I had, I felt like she was reading my mind and addressed them along the way by sharing her own struggles and specifically how she overcame them. The amount of insider tips and strategies she shared blew me away, and my only wish is that I read this book earlier in my massage career! - Susan Good, LMT in Charlottesville VA

"Rachel Beider gave me clear step-by-step directions that made sense. She gave me courage to realize that my strengths and ideas were worthy, and that clients would come and pay for my services. Her marketing strategy and insight helped me redesign my website, boost my social media presence and increase my client base, all without spending a fortune or with losing my own sense of style. She's stayed in touch, applauding my successes, reading my blogs, encouraging me to take the next steps and live my dreams. Rachel is one of those extremely rare people that cares deeply about others-you're never just another number to her- you really matter and it shows in the way she runs her business." - Jeanna Mead, LMT and Owner of Rockwall Body and Soul Massage in TX

When I first reached out to Rachel, I was at rock bottom. I had been working at a massage chain for too long, surrounded by bitter, angry massage therapists who felt trapped by career choice and circumstance. I wouldn't dare let them know that I had been trying to launch my own business for over a year, especially since I had nothing to show for it. When I finally decided to reach out to a coach for help, I had had ZERO bookings over the course of that year. I felt defeated and pathetic. Between my first and second session with Rachel, I had several brand-new bookings and a magazine article written about my business! Rachel knows her stuff. The thing I like best about her is that she doesn't sugar-coat anything (you know how important this is if you've been asking your friends and family for feedback and been getting polite but ultimately unhelpful responses). Rachel will forever be my business guru!" - Milan Baudelaire, LMT and Owner of Dandelion Massage in Boston, MA

"Rachel is an invaluable resource, a great wealth of genuine feedback and unique information, and a beacon of support and inspiration. If youre taking your first baby steps into the world of entrepreneurship, as I am - dipping your toes into those uncharted waters, Rachel should be your guide. She will graciously lead you through your own journey, offering words of wisdom and accountability check-ups along the way. She is intelligent, virtuous, and committed to her work - ardently helping others as an extension of her own philosophy of abundance. I draw inspiration from her every day." - Alicia Genna, a Licensed Acupuncturist in New York

When I was ready to embark on my project I had been dreaming about for years there was no question who to call first. Rachel, has been a peer, mentor, and trailblazer. I feel so grateful to have had her by my side as I began the process of building my wellness business, cityWell, a Boutique Bathhouse in Brooklyn. Her expertise, savvy advice, and extensive resources were just what I needed to get my business off the ground, both literally and figuratively. It was Rachel who would guide me when I felt discouraged or overwhelmed. She always finds exciting new ways to do things. She is always one (or three) steps ahead of the curve. She is the coolest and calmest CEO I know. Her support, friendship and confidence have helped to shape up my dream into the thriving business it is today. Rachel is a wealth of knowledge and experience. If you are starting out or even just thinking about it, she is the woman to call. Contacting Rachel will be the best business decision you can make! - Liz Tortolani, LMT and Owner of cityWell in Brooklyn, NYC

"Rachel is a true gift! She is an all around solid consultant who offers all her knowledge and is a tremendous resource. It's rare for me to feel the sense of complete trust in a person's word as much as I do hers. She's very frank, knowledgeable and supportive. I look to her to streamline my thoughts and goals as I build my business and she never fails to amaze me with her breadth of knowledge and sound advice. She has a genuine glowing personality and a great head on her shoulders. The development of my business is the work of my life and I believe Rachel is absolutely the best person to guide me towards achieving my goals. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking to build their business!" - Carmen Barcelona, LMT and owner of Carmen Barcelona Bodywork & Massage Therapy in Miami, FL

"I approached Rachel when I was thinking of turning my side-gig private practice relying on word-of-mouth marketing into a scalable full-time business. I couldn't be happier with the decision to work with her: Rachel is very pragmatic and direct in her approach, and sources her recommendations in her own experience as a business owner. Her marketing and PR support has been invaluable, and I walk away from every coaching session with a comprehensive homework list and renewed enthusiasm for the business I am creating. Rachel encourages me to think about marketing in a way that feels authentic to who I am as a person, and her enthusiasm is infectious and uplifting. Working with her has been a really smart investment in my business!" - Dr. Bryn Savage, Psychotherapist the Founder of Plum Mental Wellness in Canada
