Estimates for a small start in Australia, not guarantees.
What it is
Lymph drainage treatments from a treatment room you rent by the day or week in an existing clinic, beauty or wellness centre. The room is set up and clients come to you.
Your first three steps
- Ask local clinics, day spas and physios about renting a room on a flexible or part-week basis
- Set up an online booking page and a simple client intake form with health questions
- Introduce yourself to nearby GPs, physios and surgeons' practices and offer a short demo or information sheet
Who pays
Clients looking for wellbeing or post-surgery support, plus people referred by nearby GPs, physios, cosmetic clinics and other practitioners.
How it makes money
Per-session fees and multi-session packages. Rent is a fixed cost, so busy days cover it and extra sessions are mostly profit.
