info_outlineI love encouraging healers and therapists to think deeply and creatively about what their work could look like.
I often say: Step out of default thinking for a moment and give yourself permission to dream into what you want to create.
Who are you serving? How are you working with them? What work do you no longer do or do less of? What does your day look like? Who are you collaborating with?
In this episode I got to talk to 2 sisters who dreamed up a way to work differently by creating a business together!
Meet Kaitlyn and Meghann Ellis.
Meghann Ellis is a therapist with over 18 years experience and has a specialty in complex trauma, EMDR and dissociative diagnoses. She has combined forces with her twin sister, Kaitlyn Ellis, who is an Occupational Therapist and pelvic floor specialist with over 20 years of experience.
Together they run Twin Root Wellness
Here’s some of what we talked about:
- Combining the skills of an Occupational Therapist and a mental health expert in one program
- Choosing the niche of pregnant and post-partum athletes
- The unique physical and emotional struggles of athlete mothers
- How they realized they wanted to start this business together
- Why Meghann is finding that this work prevents her from burning out as a therapist
- How they nurture their relationship and communicate as both sisters and business partners
