Services & Pricing
What is included in the Premium Report?+
The Premium Report is a comprehensive profit analysis delivered as a detailed written document. It includes revenue and expense breakdowns, margin analysis by service category, financial projections for three growth scenarios, and a 90-day implementation roadmap — all for $97.
How is Leadership Coaching structured?+
Leadership Coaching sessions are 60 minutes and conducted via video call. Most clients meet biweekly, though frequency is adjusted based on your goals and business season. Packages are available after an initial assessment session at $297.
What does the Credibility Audit cover?+
The audit reviews your website, social media presence, client communications, booking experience, and in-person touchpoints. You receive a written report with prioritized recommendations — quick wins you can implement immediately and longer-term improvements for lasting impact.
Are there package discounts available?+
Yes. Clients who combine the Premium Report with Leadership Coaching or the Credibility Audit receive bundled pricing. Ask about current packages during your discovery call.
Working Together
How long does it take to see results?+
Most clients report noticeable shifts in confidence and clarity within the first two sessions. Tangible business results — improved margins, stronger team dynamics, or a more polished brand presence — typically emerge within 60 to 90 days of consistent implementation.
What makes Melanie different from generic business coaches?+
Melanie specializes in the wellness industry. She understands the unique economics of salons, spas, and fitness businesses — seasonal fluctuations, service-based pricing, team turnover, and the gap between exceptional in-person service and mediocre online presence.
Can Melanie help if my business is in a rebuilding phase?+
Absolutely. Many clients come to Melanie during a rebuilding period — after a location change, team restructuring, or brand refresh. Her approach meets you where you are and focuses on building a credible foundation before pushing for aggressive growth.
What is Melanie's coaching philosophy?+
Professional credibility is not vanity — it is a revenue driver. When your business looks and communicates at the level of service you actually deliver, you attract better clients, retain stronger team members, and command prices that reflect your true value.
