Be the leader of your life. 

Simple strategies for holistic therapists and business owners to improve health, prevent burnout and achieve a sustainable work-life balance.

So, you're working in the hair industry, huh? 

Well, you don't need me to tell you how toxic and overpowering the industry can be. 

The life of a hairstylist isn't for the faint-hearted. 

  • Lost self' due to always listening to others' stories.
  • People pleasing and overgiving to the detriment of yourself.
  • Drowning in a toxic environment of products and people.
  • Burnt out mentally and physically from big days and doing it all yourself.
  • Missing the passion for life and relationships beyond the chair.



Yep, a career in the hair industry can be draining and unfulfilling. BUT…
If you're here, you're looking for a better way of doing things...a way to lighten your load.

Lightening your load means taking care of yourself first and taking responsibility for your wellbeing. It means setting boundaries and understanding ways to sustain and restore your energy so you don't 'take on' everything. It's creating space to build a thriving and sustainable career.

Signs You Need to Lighten Your Load

  • Endless proving and pushing too hard.
  • Easily become worried or upset and find it difficult to relax.
  • Consistently feel a sense of feeling pressured and overwhelmed.
  • Feel a loss of confidence in yourself. 
  • Have difficulty making decisions.
  • Feeling detached or distant.
  • Disconnected from your body and missing physiological cues.
  • Feelings of wanting to flee or defensive: rapid breathing, flushed skin, tense muscles.
  • Trouble controlling your emotions.

Burnout is real; it is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by a prolonged period of any or all of the above symptoms.


Ready for the good news?

I'm here to take the burnout and overwhelm out of business. 

Even if you feel disconnected from yourself and feel like you can't possibly fit another thing into your week. 

I'm here to break down everything you need to know about taking care of yourself physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically. And introduce you to easy-to-implement tools and techniques that will change your life. 

I’m Jessica Carey. A hairstylist, salon owner, business owner of 15 years and wellbeing advocate. I know first hand what it's like to be burnout by the hair industry and how hard it can be to heal after being in that state. I'll show you what I did and have done ever since to create a sustainable balance between business and life.

I’ve been a salon owner for 15 years; my salon is open just three days a week exclusively by appointment, I choose my clients, and I NEVER work Saturdays.

I learnt to take more notice of my body and where it's holding pain and tension. I found the practical tools Jessica taught to help with this valuable.
