Building a Sustainable Wellness Business with Adrianna Locke

ADRIANNA LOCKE,

zocalo wellness

Especially as entrepreneurs, we internalize the idea that we can use our bodies like commodities. That they're not these beautiful, intrinsically valuable things that we get to inhabit. I think self-care is a doorway into this incredibly personal revolution that can happen where we no longer treat our bodies like burdens, but as miracles.

Episode Summary:

Today, I speak with friend, client and all around amazing human, Adrianna Locke about taking her business online.

Adrianna Locke is an acupuncturist and entrepreneur based in Portland, OR. Her work is centered around helping individuals and communities find ease, wholeness and empowerment through natural medicine. She believes in reclaiming ancient practices to build a better world. Through her business Zócalo Wellness, she offers self-care kits, online courses, and wellness coaching.

In this episode, you’ll hear Adriana’s transformational journey from being a one-on-one practitioner, to building a scalable business without burning out in the process. She takes us steps-by-step through her path exploring new online business models and shares her insights into self-care and building a sustainable business.
