Coaching for Massage Therapists & Bodyworkers:

As a massage therapist I can't emphasize enough the importance of having a business/and or life coach. I have had one for over 9 years and consider the service to be one of the best investments I have ever made in my life on a personal and business level.

As your coach, I will listen to your goals and dreams. Together we will design a plan, if you don't already have one, which will help you achieve your objectives. If you already have a plan, I will review it with you to ensure that it's a solid and workable plan. Along the way I will observe, challenge and guide you towards success and fulfillment. From time-to-time I will offer advice or share an opinion but the ultimate decisions are up to you on how you work and achieve your plan.

Benefits of Coaching for Massage Therapists & Bodyworkers:
  • Enhances the life and environment of the therapist or bodyworker
  • Provides a clear roadmap with goals and strategies to ensure the success of the therapist's or Bodyworker's practice
  • Provides answers to a cluttered life or work environment
  • Improves the self-esteem of the therapist or bodyworker
  • Gives the therapist or bodyworker control of their destiny
Reasons for Coaching:
  • To achieve Business or Professional Goals
  • To achieve Personal Goals
  • To achieve Financial Goals
  • To achieve Fitness or well-being Goals
  • To achieve Spiritual Goals
What you will find is as you focus on one area the others will come into play as well.

The Coaching Process:

*PHASE I: THE DISCOVERY PROCESS (Three hours- divided into two 90 minute sessions)-Cost: $360.00.
  • The first meeting entails completion of 4-5 writing exercises which will be followed by discussion of what is revealed. This gives us an idea of concerns, fears and how to establish the next part of phase one which is setting goals.
  • The second meeting will entail establishing goals and a plan based on what was discovered in the first meeting.
PHASE II: MONTHLY COACHING PROCESS (All sessions are one hour in length)-See cost under monthly series rates.
  • This is where the meat of the program is performed by the individual. Based on what is discussed in phase one such as what goals and strategies have been established, how much of a self-starter the individual is, how often the individual wants to have contact with their coach during the action/work phase of the process the number of monthly coaching sessions are established. This is the phase where the individual will implement the action steps and strategies created to achieve their goals. They will meet with the coach on a regular basis to evaluate their progress and concerns.
The Monthly Series Rates are as follows:
  • One Session: $125.00
  • Three Sessions: $337.50 (10% savings)
  • Six Sessions: $637.00 (15% savings)
  • Nine Sessions: $900.00 (20% savings)*
* For optimum results during the monthly sessions it is recommended that meetings take place 2-3 times a month.
* Each three session series should be completed within a five week timeframe. Sessions in a three package series not completed in five weeks will be forfeited.
* Though it is not required it is recommended that an individual commit to a three month program for optimum results.

*PHASE III: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED PROCESS (Two hours) - Cost: $230.00.
(This phase is only offered to those completing phases I and II)
  • Re-cap of the discovery process-examine where the individual is now compared to the discovery phase.
  • Re-cap monthly sessions-were all goals accomplished if so outstanding, if not what needs to happen to achieve the goals if they are still important to the individual.
  • Discuss what will happen for the individual as a result of completing the coaching process. How will they take the revelations and continue to realize their dreams, passions and goals; how will they share their accomplishments with others?
*Phase III is important to the process, but not required.

Testimonials and Letters of Recommendation:

"Lisa Randolph provided services to me in the fall of 2000 for the purpose of planning and goal setting for a career change. I was employed as a manager in the managed care profession and wanted to develop a vocational plan to become self employed as a registered massage therapist (RMT) and to pursue additional education to become licensed as a professional counselor (LPC).

Through my sessions with Lisa we created a plan for transitioning out of my corporate job to self employment as a RMT and LPC. Goals were set for six months, one year and two years. Two and a half years after working with Lisa I remain self employed as a massage therapist and have be come a licensed professional counselor. I am current working part time as an intern at Legacy Counseling Center. I remain very happy and content with the changes I have initiated during the past two years.

I found the goal setting services provided by Carpe Diem Strategies to be very beneficial as I initiated change in my vocation. Choosing to make a career change affects many aspect of one's life and can be quite scary. However, when a good strategy is developed and solid goals are set change becomes exciting vs. intimidating. I would highly recommend the services of Carpe Diem Strategies for anyone who chooses to embrace a change in there life and become the person you choose to be."

Sincerely,
Jim E Robert, MA, RMT, LPC-I

"I met Lisa Randolph at Wellness Skills. She was my Business & Ethics Instructor. Her level of professionalism made an immediate and lasting impression on me.

After graduating from massage school I attempted to set up my practice and very quickly realized that the city had ordinances from the dark ages. I was now aware of why there was not a single massage practice in the city. I was determined to establish my practice in the city I lived in. Over a period of several months, several City Hall meetings, and Planning & Zoning meetings and endless research and presentations (informing them about the benefits of massage and presenting facts that this was indeed a reputable business) these ordinances were changed. I was able to set up the first Massage Therapy office in my city.

My success with this undertaking was not achieved by my determination alone but it was completely dependent upon Ms. Randolph's meticulous step by step coaching.

I have recently completed one of her workshops (Marketing Tools & Strategies). This workshop should be a requirement for everyone who is serious about a career in massage therapy."
