Your Business is Growing—But You’re Stuck in a Job You Can’t Escape.

You’ve built something incredible. You love what you do. Your customers love you. But let’s be real… this isn’t the freedom you imagined when you started.

✅ You’re wearing all the hats, and burnout is creeping in.
✅ Your systems feel outdated—what worked in the beginning is now clunky and inefficient.
✅ You need a team (or a better one), but leading and hiring feels overwhelming.
✅ You’re thinking bigger—new offers, a second location, real growth—but cash flow keeps you up at night.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

And you don’t have to figure it out alone either.

    “I am very fortunate to have been a part of Melissa's mastermind group this spring! It was exactly what I needed. During the pandemic when everything was uncertain, she gave me tools and motivation to grow my business and serve my clients well. She also worked with me to develop ways to be consistent and visible in my photography business while balancing motherhood too! She also taught me various techniques to work smarter, not harder. Melissa truly cares, she shows up BIG, and her attitude and energy will definitely rub off on you! I can't sing her praises loudly enough!”

When people ask how'd I grow my business, I laugh + tell them

"I took the scenic route."

My business was  launched without me even knowing it in 2009.

With 3 kiddos under five, I started teaching dance lessons out of my 800 square foot basement.  While they napped I did the “office work” + I taught while the kiddos played in the pack + play.  

Fast forward a few years, + my side hustle had grown into well over a hundred students coming into my home to learn the art of dance. I had a great thing going.

Purpose + Passion + Paychecks. 

Then... life happened.  

In 2015, life happened and I became a single mama.  I have to figure out real quickly how I would make my little side hustle provide for a family of six. Gulp. 

There were growing pains, but over the next 5 years I expanded my business into a custom-built second location + grew into a team of 14. Before I knew it, other small business owners began asking “how are you doing it all?”

The truth is...I wasn't. 

I was doing way too much (as in… taking my laptop into the bedroom + working after the kids went to bed + then waking up at 4:30am to work again). 

But over time, I learned how to delegate, leverage, + grow...without giving up every last second of my life. I let go of doing all the things + created a life that I wake up excited about.

Every. Single. Day.

Today, I still own two studio locations, host The Brick and Mortar Visibility Podcast, am growing a thriving online business + a mama to my five awesome kiddos. 

But my passion is to help other brick + mortar studio owners navigate through the hurdles of scaling their business + raising a family. 

My goal is that you wake up to your EPIC life EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. 

I’ve been where you are + I'm here to tell you.

There IS a better way.
