Learn from our community entrepreneurs! In this interview, Ann Biese shares the story of building and growing Healing Hearts Yoga Therapy, located in Meredith, New Hampshire, United States.
Hi! Tell us about your business and what problem are you solving?
I am a trauma-informed yoga therapist that specializes in working with children and teens that have health-related concerns or special needs. My practice focuses on emotional and physical support. I serve children with childhood cancer through various integrative yoga therapies, meditation, reiki, and EFT-Tapping. My practice serves a nonprofit organization Lucy's Love Bus, at Boston-based area hospitals weekly.
What's your one biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
In 2018 I began working with children in pediatric cancer through the nonprofit Lucy's Love Bus, and also that same year became a children's author as well. It has been quite an inspiring journey.
What’s your one biggest challenge you face and how do you overcome it?
I think specifically the emotional part of seeing the families I work with struggle emotionally while their child is in treatment for cancer.
To anyone looking to start or grow a business today, what three tips would you give them?
The saying "Do what you love, and you will never work a day in your life, is so true!" Not that you won't have stress because you will, but you will always go to work with a sense of purpose and passion.
