You believe deeply in what you share.
It’s why you opened your doors in the first place. Not just to run classes, but to create space, share something you believe in, and let it ripple outward in ways you may never fully see.
Somewhere along the way, the studio began asking more than you expected. More decisions. More responsibility. More of you.
Now you’re balancing what you love with the need for financial stability.
What you offer matters. It deserves a strong, profitable studio that supports your energy, your health, and your life beyond the studio.
STUDIO BUSINESS COACHING for DANCE & YOGA STUDIOS
Based in Traverse City, Michigan • Working with studio owners online everywhere
YOU BUILT SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
Complimentary • A calm place to talk things through
But without financial stability, it starts to take too much from you. Not all at once. Slowly. In small ways that add up.
You’re carrying the responsibility of keeping classes full, covering payroll, and making sure there’s enough left at the end of the month. You’re thinking about pricing, enrollment, schedules, staffing, and decisions that rarely have clear answers.
At the same time, you’re trying to protect the part of you that loves this and still wants a life outside the studio.
This is the tension most studio owners live inside of.
Loving what you do and needing it to work financially.
If you’ve ever thought, there has to be a better way to run this, you’re not wrong.
A studio doesn’t have to be held together by constant effort.
✔ It can be clear.
✔ It can be steady.
✔ It can be profitable and still feel aligned.
This isn’t about pushing harder or becoming someone you’re not.
It’s about building structure so the studio isn’t carried by you alone.
Studio business coaching is about building a studio that works in real life.
This includes:
Classes that stay full without constant pushing
Income that feels steady and reliable
Systems that reduce daily overwhelm
Clear planning instead of constant reacting
A studio that supports your energy and your life
When we work together, clarity comes first.
From there, we build the systems that support a financially stable, sustainable studio.
The work stays focused and manageable. Nothing gets layered on top of chaos or rushed. We build structure around what matters most so both you and the studio are supported.
This includes:
aligning your vision, values, and goals
creating systems that reduce overwhelm and decision fatigue
strengthening leadership and day to day operations
growing your studio in a way that’s profitable and sustainable
The goal isn’t to do more… it’s to build a studio that works for your business and your life.
That work is guided by five core areas.
RESET
We start by slowing things down.
Reconnect with why you started. Pause, reflect, and get clear on what’s working, what isn’t, and what truly matters now. Resetting helps you step out of constant reaction and begin leading your studio with clarity and intention.
This creates space to see your studio clearly and make decisions from a grounded place instead of putting out fires.
SYSTEMIZE
Next, we bring structure to the day to day.
Build systems that support sustainable growth and take pressure off your shoulders. This includes strengthening pricing, understanding your financials, streamlining operations, and putting simple, repeatable systems in place so the studio can run smoothly without relying on you for everything.
Support here also includes a personalized website audit delivered on Loom, so your online presence is clear, supportive, and working for you.
ATTRACT
With structure in place, we focus on enrollment and retention.
Clarify your message, strengthen your marketing, and build onboarding and retention processes that help the right students find you and stay connected.
LEAD
As the studio grows, leadership becomes essential.
Set healthy boundaries, make confident decisions, and build a supportive team so the studio can run smoothly without relying on you for every detail.
THRIVE
This is where everything comes together.
Grow with intention, supported by clear strategy, simple systems, and ongoing support that allow your studio to be financially stable and sustainable. This creates more freedom, space, and enjoyment in both your business and your life.
Thriving here is not about doing more. It is about building a studio that continues to support you as you grow and evolve.
Why I’m the right coach for creative studio owners
I built and ran a 950 student dance studio, later owned a photography business in two states, and then helped open and run a yoga studio. I know what it’s like to love what you do and still feel stretched thin, underpaid, or unsure how to make the business side really work.
I’ve lived the long hours, full schedules, constant decisions, and the pressure of keeping everything running while caring deeply about the work itself.
I’ve been there.
That’s why the support here stays practical, studio specific, and grounded in real life. It is about creating sustainable growth with clear structure and systems that protect both your art and your income, without burning you out in the process.
