In the small downtown community of Somerville NJ, Karen and I have been building our brick and mortar business; bodhi. Our boutique studio is not a gym, we are a community of people inspiring people. When I wanted to start my own life coaching business I decided that the general population was to be my first demographic to target.
We have developed a powerfully inspirational community, and as they will continue to grow organically, its time to do more online coaching for competitive athletes.
Liz found us doing a google search when looking for local competition coaches, thankfully she gave us an opportunity to coach her to a few victories.
