More support for all those WTF moments
already a Bolstie?
Oops! Forgot to bookmark the group? No worries, Bolstie, I got you!
For professional massage therapists who are ready to feel supported, inspired + understood in their business
No rah-rah “gurus”
No hyped-up promises
Just honest support from people who get it
1:1 work with me blends with community support to create space for questions, sharing struggles + celebrating triumphs.
Welcome to Bolstered.
$19/month
No contracts, cancel anytime. Auto-billed monthly, quarterly, or annually.
So, you thought a career in Massage Therapy was going to be all amazing techniques + grateful clients…
But instead, you’re suddenly:
• juggling social media like a hamster on espresso
• decoding tax gobbledygook
• trying to hold boundaries with one eye twitching the entire time
Yeah. We get it.
Entrepreneurship really should come with a warning label. 😉
The business side of having your own massage practice can feel overwhelming.
This isn’t a free Facebook group.
It’s a *real* community that feels like having massage business besties.
It’s a soft place to land where we talk pricing, boundaries, clients… without judgment.
You might be brand new… or a seasoned pro, and you’re tired of doing this alone, right?
This group is for anyone who wants to feel a little more connected + a lot less isolated.
But if you’ve ever thought:
“Why didn’t anybody tell me this would feel so hard?”
“Why am I doing all the work AND the business stuff?”
You’re in the right place.
What you actually get (without the chaos):
Quick coaching videos (real talk, not boring lectures)
Email, scripts + Canva graphics library so you never write cringe copy again
A safe space to ask your silliest questions (seriously)
Monthly check-ins with yours truly
CE classes for creds *and confidence*
No hustle-culture-BS
No one-size-fits all cookie cutter download for “success”
We’re good vibes, straightforward advice + zero fluff
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.
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.
The vibe? Think of it like having hot chocolate with all your massage business besties - supportive, compassionate + full of energy.
We’re not into hustle culture. There’s no program to get through. Simply 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 talk to Annette about this,” Bolstered is your VIP access to me.
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.
