Every Body Healing LLC | Application Preview
Every Body Healing LLC is applying for government grant funding to expand and stabilize its holistic wellness business, which combines mobile massage therapy, travel advising, and professional events. Currently operating in the Chicagoland area, the business plans to broaden its reach to include Nashville and eventually build a wellness retreat property in Tennessee.
The funding will be used across several targeted areas:
- $5,000 for marketing and branding to increase visibility and client engagement, especially in the new Nashville market.
- $2,000 to support infrastructure needs for the travel advising business, covering licensing and software fees.
- $5,000 to launch three group trips and two wellness retreats, creating new lasting income streams.
- $6,000 to host six relaxation events and two business networking galas, aimed at community building and direct revenue.
- $3,000 to develop and sell branded wellness and travel products, offering passive income potential.
- $4,000 for initial research and planning related to acquiring land for a future retreat property by 2026.
The five-year growth plan focuses on becoming a sustainable, multi-revenue stream business. Year one emphasizes visibility, market expansion, and hosting events and retreats. Years two and three shift toward consistent programs and land acquisition. Years four and five aim to scale operations with retreats, corporate partnerships, and possibly a second wellness property.
What makes this a strong candidate for funding is an already functioning business with multiple income channels, a clear expansion plan, and a unique blend of personal wellness, community events, and meaningful travel experiences. The applicant distinguishes herself through direct client relationships, personalized service, and a business model that moves seamlessly between in-person care and experiential offerings. The grant would support sustainable growth and accelerate the business toward long-term profitability and financial independence.

Funding Usage
My business offers a combination of wellness services, travel advising, and professional events that are designed to promote community well-being, connection, and small business growth. I currently operate as a mobile massage therapist in the Chicagoland area, book custom travel experiences through a licensed host agency, and organize business networking galas that support local entrepreneurs. With this funding, I am seeking to responsibly grow and stabilize my business. The goal is to expand operations to both Chicago and Nashville, build long-term income through retreats and group travel, and begin laying the foundation for a future wellness retreat property in Tennessee. This grant would allow me to focus on what’s working, build infrastructure for consistent income, and serve more people through intentional, experience-based offerings. ⸻ How I’ll Use the Funding Marketing and Branding – $5,000 This will fund essential marketing to grow awareness and sales for my travel services, events, and wellness offerings. I plan to invest in social media ads, content creation, and promotional tools to attract new clients and drive bookings. This will also help me reach new markets in Nashville following my relocation. Travel Business Infrastructure – $2,000 As a certified advisor under a host agency, I pay licensing, software, and platform fees to manage client bookings. This funding will help cover these backend costs so I can grow without financial pressure while improving how I serve clients. Group Trips and Wellness Retreats – $5,000 I plan to host three small group trips (domestic and international) and launch two wellness retreats by the end of 2026. This funding will go toward deposits, logistics, and modest startup costs. These trips will allow me to generate consistent income while providing memorable, high-value experiences for travelers. Events in Chicago and Nashville – $6,000 I will host six in-person relaxation events and two business networking galas over the next year. These gatherings build brand awareness, grow my email list, and directly generate revenue. Funds will cover venue deposits, supplies, refreshments, and staffing. Branded Product Development – $3,000 I will design and produce a small line of branded travel and wellness products — such as travel kits or aromatherapy items — to be sold at events and online. This adds a passive income stream and supports my brand identity. Land Research and Strategic Planning – $4,000 A long-term goal is to open a wellness retreat property in Tennessee. This grant will help fund the first steps: researching properties, consulting with professionals, and preparing a realistic roadmap for purchase by mid-2026 and launch by 2027

Business Plan
Over the next five years, my goal is to scale my business into a sustainable, multi-revenue stream brand that offers wellness-centered travel services, curated events, and experiential products. With the right support, I will build a strong foundation now and grow intentionally toward long-term profitability. ⸻ Year 1 (2025–2026): Expansion & Visibility • Establish operations in both Chicago and Nashville • Host 6 relaxation events and 2 professional networking galas • Launch 2–3 group trips and 2 wellness retreats • Develop and sell branded merchandise • Grow my travel advising client base by at least 50% • Begin land research for a future retreat property in Tennessee ⸻ Year 2–3 (2026–2028): Retreat Development & Consistent Revenue • Secure land and begin planning a retreat and rental property • Expand to 4–5 retreats and 4+ group trips per year • Formalize backend operations with CRM and booking systems • Increase product sales through online platforms and in-person events • Begin renting the retreat space seasonally or for private events ⸻ Year 4–5 (2028–2030): Scaling & Sustainability • Host consistent, high-demand retreats and events • Establish corporate wellness partnerships • Launch a retreat facilitator program or mentorship offering • Explore a second retreat location or satellite brand expansion • Operate with full financial independence, with all core offerings generating recurring revenue I have built a business that meets a growing demand for wellness, connection, and meaningful travel experiences — and I’m ready to scale with strategy and purpose. With an established foundation in place, I offer services that generate real income across multiple areas: mobile massage therapy, travel advising through a licensed host agency, and professional networking events. I have experience managing logistics, building community engagement, and converting ideas into revenue, all while self-funding. This grant would allow me to take what’s already working and grow it in a sustainable, revenue-focused way. I am not experimenting — I have a clear plan. With this funding, I will: • Launch 6 relaxation events and 2 professional networking galas in Chicago and Nashville • Host 3 group trips and 2 wellness retreats by the end of 2026 • Release a line of branded travel and wellness products • Grow my travel client base by at least 50%, generating consistent commission income • Begin the land acquisition process for a long-term retreat property in Tennessee What makes this a strong investment is that each of these activities contributes directly to self-sustaining income: ticket sales, travel commissions, retreat fees, merchandise sales, and future rental income. I have a clear timeline, measurable goals, and the experience to execute. This grant would not only accelerate my growth — it would help build a long-term business model rooted in impact, profitability, and independence from future funding.

Self Identified Competition
1. 1. Fora Travel Fora is a modern host travel agency with a large network of advisors who also host group trips, retreats, and branded experiences. They combine personal travel advising with content creation and community-building 2. Retreats and Co. They specialize in helping people plan and host wellness retreats and destination events, offering event support, travel logistics, and branded experiences 3. Soothe (Massage App & Platform) Soothe provides on-demand mobile massage therapy, operating in major cities with licensed therapists. While there are other businesses offering travel advising, retreat planning, or mobile wellness services, what sets me apart is that I don’t operate in just one lane — I’ve created a well-rounded business that blends wellness, travel, and community in a way that is both practical and personal. Unlike larger travel agencies or event platforms, I provide a hands-on, experience-driven approach. I plan and book travel through a licensed host agency, but I also bring that travel to life through the in-person events, group trips, and wellness retreats I design. I’m not only recommending destinations — I’m curating full experiences and building relationships with clients that extend beyond a single trip. What also makes me different is that I don’t rely solely on digital services or automation. I offer house-call massage therapy, which gives me a direct connection to clients and builds trust through real, local service. This foundation of one-on-one care adds depth to my retreats and events, where clients already know the value I bring. Many retreat or travel businesses rely on one core offering — but my business is structured to include: • In-person wellness events that build consistent community engagement • Group travel and retreats that generate repeat income and experiences • Custom travel planning through a host agency with commission-based revenue • Branded wellness and travel products for passive income • A long-term plan to develop a retreat property, creating a scalable asset This multi-stream model gives me a unique advantage: I can serve people locally, nationally, and globally, while building a business that can grow without depending on one single service. With this funding, I’ll be able to scale what’s already working and bring more of these integrated, wellness-focused experiences to life.
