💖Welcomed feedback towards collaborative creation
*Navigating multiple time zones in a global group can be a challenge. Replays will be available for the monthly micro coaching. And you’ll always have a direct line to me for questions if you can’t make the live Q+A. I’ll try to vary the times of the virtual hot chocolate office hours. And I’m always open to ideas + feedback on how the group can best support you.
off large social media platforms
I want to spend less time on *rhymes with Feta* platforms these days. But I don’t want to lose the support + comradery that social media has to offer.
Same?
Bolstered is hosted on the Circle platform. This felt like a good choice for the collective mental health.
It’s structured like a beefed up, more organized FB group.
There’s an app for easy access + quick check ins - without the possibility of getting sucked into mindless scrolling.
Raise your hand if you got into this to give massages + later realized what you actually signed up for was being a content creator, client experience specialist, book keeper, marketing manager, receptionist, conflict negotiator…and don’t even get me started on taxes.
Entrepreneurship really should come with a warning label. 😉
The business side of having your own massage practice can feel overwhelming.
You’ve tried the free FB groups. You’ve spent hundreds of hours scrolling IG. You’ve bravely declared, “I can do it alone because all the best entrepreneurs do!” (that last one is total BS by the way)
And you still feel isolated.
Come join Bolstered, a community of massage therapists from all over the world who get it, because we’re in it together.
Whether you’re just starting out or have been running your business for years, this group is for anyone who wants to feel a little more connected + a lot less isolated.
This is your go-to place to chat, ask questions, share wins + learn from each other. Whether you need guidance on pricing, marketing tips, or just a safe space to vent about that client who keeps rescheduling, we’ve got you.
The vibe? Think of it like having hot chocolate with all your massage business besties - supportive, compassionate + full of energy. This is a place where you’ll be heard, where advice is shared openly, where space is held for you + you hold space for others.
What I bring to the table as your facilitator is a mix of big sister energy, a dash of playfulness + a whole lot of fairness. I’m here to help steer the ship, offer guidance + keep the space lighthearted but also grounded in real-world business wisdom.
If you love what I do on IG + have found yourself thinking, “I wish I could run this by Annette,” Bolstered is your VIP access to me.
When I read this quote from Rachael Maddox, there was a resounding, “YES! Exactly!”
“I’m not above expertise and sitting in the throne when it’s called for. I love answering questions and dishing epic advice from my years of experience.
But I also believe that so much of our capitalist construct around healing, growing and evolving dismisses community collective care and group wisdom and that’s straight up dumb.
There are certain things that can only heal or be revealed in groups. Things related to shame, visibility, belonging, emergence, things yearning for a wider witness.”
You’ll prob love this community if…
asking questions in large FB groups sometimes feels scary
you want support with business boundaries but not forced to be highly aggressive
creating something bigger than yourself sounds magical
compassionate advice is your jam
you can bite your tongue when someone is seeking validation + not advice
resources + support would be helpful, but you don’t want to be bombarded with 482 masterclasses a month
when I say this community is like an all access VIP pass to me - I mean it
Join me in a casual monthly community call to talk about business topics (like, burn out). I facilitate these calls - there is no teaching; no hierarchy. An organic, conversational way for us to come together.
Browse my entire library of single email templates + scripts for free! New ones are added frequently.
Pop in for a quick (promise!) 20 min max micro coaching session each month, centered around communication + boundaries. With time for Q+A.
Direct email access to me. Yep! You read that right - a lifeline straight to my inbox!
I’ll be hanging out virtually, with a cup of hot chocolate for an hour every month. Pop in, say hi, share what’s going on in your neck of the woods + ask questions.
The best part? This group will evolve to be member-led - that means it’s shaped by us + the amazing things everyone brings to the table. It’s not about me telling you what to do, it’s about us learning + growing together.
That means I’m going to be an absolute menace in seeking out your ideas + feedback. It would be a dream to have an inbox full of your brainstorming magic on how we’re going to support each other + the massage industry as a whole.
We’re going to evolve the community together.
We’re going to build a place that feels like home for massage therapists who want to thrive, feel supported + have a little fun along the way.
Come join us - the journey will be a whole lot better if you’re there.
