In this episode of the Scaling Wellness Podcast, I’m sitting down with someone who’s redefining what it means to run a successful, client-centered massage business—Nadin Bailey, founder of MEND Massage Therapy.

A licensed massage therapist, registered yoga teacher, and lifelong student of movement, Nadin brings nearly a decade of expertise to the industry. With a background that combines advanced bodywork techniques and a BFA in Contemporary Dance, her deep understanding of anatomy and body mechanics shines through in every aspect of her work.

But what truly sets Nadin apart is her vision for MEND Studios—a space built not just for clients to heal, but for massage therapists to grow, thrive, and master their craft. From opening her first location to now running thriving studios in Brookfield and Mequon, Nadin shares the realities of building a team, maintaining high standards, and staying rooted in her passion for helping people feel—and function—better.

In this episode, Nadin opens up about:

• How her movement background enhances her massage techniques
  
  

• The challenges and rewards of building a massage studio focused on both client and practitioner success
  
  

• Why results-driven, highly skilled massage therapy sets MEND apart
  
  

• The lessons she’s learned as a business owner navigating growth, leadership, and building a standout brand
  
  

Whether you’re a solo practitioner, studio owner, or dreaming of creating your own wellness space, Nadin’s story and insights will inspire and empower you.

🎧 Tune in now to hear how Nadin built a thriving, results-driven studio—and how you can apply the same principles to your business.
