Hello,
I feel as if you might need a little more than just a few sentences to explain what's going on here so I want to be completely transparent with who I am and what this group is for.
My name is Dina Haffner and I have been a Massage Therapist for over 10 years. I have worked in many different environments and even took a few years off, distracting myself with other jobs. When I started getting back into my practice, I met many amazing people through different networking groups I attended. I went to the BNI and the Le Tip and the Babes in Business meetings and found great things in all of them - but something was always missing for me.
While I love meeting other business owners, hustlers, hard working weekend warriors; I felt a deep need to connect with MY people. What do I mean by that? It's hard to relate to marketing to clients when you're in the Health and Wellness industry. We don't have "customers" we have clients and patients. We don't "sell" product we are "selling a service" - and most of us don't understand sales AT. ALL.
I've always wanted a place to connect with people within my industry for many reasons.
- I want to bounce ideas off of someone who understand the work I do on a deeper level
- I want to meet people who I can refer my clients to so they get a more well rounded approach to their wellness
- I want to find practitioners that can help ME because I need to practice self care even more than I preach it.
- I want to find products to try so that I may recommend at-home care for my clients and KNOW they're getting the attention they need!
And while I've found some wonderful things in these networking groups, I wasn't finding everything I absolutely needed, so, I decided to start it myself.
This is a passion project. This has been on the forefront of my mind for far too long and it's not fair to me or anyone else that it doesn't have a voice. I want us all to succeed. I want us to leave our egos at the door and work together as a team. We are all here to help people and there is no need to have a competitive attitude when you are in the business of healing.
Let's collaborate more.
Let's work TOGETHER more.
Let's challenge each other and hold each other accountable for our goals.
Let's motivate.
Let's be positive.
Let's create a safe, judgement-free environment.
Let's build this unstoppable tribe.
You with me? Good. Can't wait to meet you!
