Trep OnTrack Helps Shandra Dunn of Touch By Healing Hands Shift Her Business Perspective

Owner of Touch By Healing Hands, Shandra Dunn, says becoming a massage therapist was always in the cards for her. Shandra discovered her love for healing and nurturing people while working as a nurse, and starting her own mobile massage therapy business was the natural next step.

“I love to heal. I love to take care of people. I love to help people. I think that’s why I knew this was my calling because it feels like something I have to do even if I didn’t get paid,” she says.

In addition to being a masseuse, Shandra has created her own line of natural hair, body, and skincare products for her services, stating that she wants to help her clients avoid products that have harmful chemicals in them as they can cause health problems. She also sells the products for clients to take home.

Shandra says that participating in the Trep OnTrack Business Bootcamp helped her shift her perspective on why she does what she does. “It’s not just saying I’m a business to make money. I’m putting hard work in. I’m taking time. I’m watching it grow, but I’m also paying attention to what I’m doing, how I’m doing things, and why I’m doing things,” she says. 

She also says she loved “everything about class,” from the coursework to the one-on-one coaching sessions to meeting other entrepreneurs with different experiences from her own. She advises all entrepreneurs in the area to enroll in the class to get coaching.

After completing both Trep OnTrack Business Bootcamp sessions in 2022, she started a second business, Glory2God Lawn Care, Landscaping, and Snow Removal. She says, “It’s another way for me to help people out. I get to help in nature, in God’s creation.”
