My story: About Space:Aligned

As a massage therapist building my practice, I struggled with one major challenge - finding the right workspace. Commercial leases were simply out of reach financially, too rigid, and rarely offered the peaceful environment my clients needed. I bounced between whatever spaces I could find, always settling rather than truly choosing.

Talking with other wellness professionals—massage therapists, acupuncturists, and other healthcare practitioners—I learned this was everyone's problem. So many of us needed space while others had rooms sitting empty during their off-hours. It just didn't make sense: all this need for space existing right alongside unused rooms, with no good way for us to find each other.

That's when Space:Aligned was born. Instead of creating yet another wellness center, I wanted to build something that connected our community. A simple way for practitioners looking for space to find those willing to share what they already have.

What started as my own personal struggle has grown into something meaningful for our entire wellness community. Space:Aligned helps independent practitioners find their perfect space without the traditional barriers. We're creating more opportunity, stronger connections, and better work environments—all by making better use of the spaces we already have.
