How long have you been a Boston Business Women member?
Less than a year
Where are you based? How did you end up there?
Somerville, MA. I built a client base in the area working with local runners.
Tell us more about your company! What do you do and what pushed you to start?
The Run Rx provides concierge performance physical therapy and personal training for runners and modern athletes. We are Doctors of Physical Therapy with extensive experience in personal training, rehabilitation, sports performance, and running analysis, bridging the gap between healthcare and wellness.
I started this business after years in the reactive, insurance-driven healthcare system, which left me feeling overworked and unable to provide the care I wanted. I wanted to combine performance and fitness with expert, doctorate-level healthcare in a warmer, boutique setting.
What is your definition of success? How do you know when you’ve reached it?
Success is creating an environment that benefits both my staff and our clients. It means providing excellent care, maintaining financial freedom without burnout, and ensuring our clients feel their investment is worth it. It’s an evolving process, and we continually adapt to provide the best outcomes for both patients and staff.
Tell us about your most transformational moment as an entrepreneur?
The most transformational moments were early on when I took the leap to leave a safe job and go fully independent. I had to temporarily maintain part-time jobs to ensure stability, but ultimately realized that to grow, I had to commit 100% to my business.
Tell us about your most proud moment in your career.
Opening our new state-of-the-art space in Somerville. I started in a tiny rented room and took a leap of faith to move into a full commercial space, investing in a complete build-out to create a permanent, upgraded home for The Run Rx.
Who is the woman behind your business? What does she like? How does she spend her free time? What does she value?
I am a runner and fitness enthusiast. I love sports, spending time with my family, and our goldendoodle, Ziggy. I value work-life balance, which is why starting my own business to gain flexibility and control over my schedule was so important to me.
What makes you stand out from others in your field? What do you do differently?
We offer performance and fitness services provided by doctorate-level healthcare providers and healthcare services from fitness professionals. We specialize in working with runners, creating a niche experience for passionate athletes. Our facility offers a warmer, more welcoming environment than typical healthcare or fitness spaces, including a recovery corner with complimentary kombucha or cold brew after sessions.
