Female Fridays with Kimberly Haley


Happy Friday, Female emPOWERED listeners! My #FemaleFriday guest this week is Kimberly Haley, founder and owner of Relaxed and Restored.

Even though we have only met through Instagram (thank you social media!), I had to have Kimberly come on the show to share her passion behind her company, Relaxed and Restored, and how she transitioned to the holistic wellness space from her previous career path. 


Relaxed and Restored

Kimberly became a certified massage therapist and wellness coach in 2018 after spending years in the fashion and manufacturing industry. Her own personal health struggles led her to creating Relaxed and Restored, a manual therapy practice, as she wanted to help other working women improve the quality of their life by managing their stress and relieving their pain through massage therapy.

Tune in as Kimberly shares how she landed in the massage therapy world, pivots she made for her business launch during the pandemic, and how she finds support as an entrepreneur.

In this episode we discuss:

  • The beginnings of R&R
  • Transitioning from the fashion industry to holistic wellness
  • The impact of work stress leading to her own health crisis
  • Tension between pushing vs. restoration and grounding
  • Pivots she made when launching her business at the start of the pandemic
  • Staying relevant with organic growth amidst hurdles in business
  • How she finds support and guidance as a business owner
  • Tips to finding help from other entrepreneurs in the industry
  • Leaning into fear and using your past experiences to make you stand out amongst the competition. You are the secret sauce!
