The Emily Osmond Show Building a Pilates business while raising four children, with Emma Powell of bodyBEgood
Maternity leave can give mothers time and space to reflect on where they are with their careers and whether this path will still work for them in this new chapter of their lives. Often, we find that our current employment doesn’t provide the flexibility and time to build a new life with our children so maternity leave is the best opportunity to start looking at designing a lifestyle that will work around your family and light you up inside.
My guest today is Emma Powell, a physiotherapist and pilates instructor who also owns a small business while raising four children. After 13 years of working for others, Emma saw the need for a female-led health space in Ballarat so she courageously left her job and created bodyBEgood.
bodyBEgood’s physio team treats sports injuries, spinal pain, work-related injuries, women's and men's health, chronic pain, and many other problems. They also run 3 different types of classes: Reformer Pilates Classes, Clinical Pilates Classes, and Pre and Postnatal Pilates Classes so there is the perfect class for everyone!
In this episode, we’re exploring how Emma has built her pilates business while raising four children. Emma shares how the experience of having caesareans for all four of her children’s births led her to feel lost without enough information out there for recovery. She’s launching a new online program, releasing in September, to educate mothers on rehabilitation and join an amazing like-minded community.
In our conversation, we cover the reasons why Emma decided to leave her employment, the challenges of starting a business during maternity leave, how she attracted those first clients, the most effective marketing methods, attracting her ideal clients, growing her family, finding the right fit for her team and what she has in store next.
You’re going to love this episode. Emma is an inspiration to all women and mothers out there who are dreaming of their next steps.
Enjoy!
