Meet Tara Gregorio, Founder of The Present Momma, and Witness Her Transition From Studio Owner to Online Course Creator

Today we’re talking a little taboo…

I’m talking about the pelvic floor, and as any Pilates instructor knows, this topic comes with a lot of thought around it.

Well, today we’re talking about a lot more than solely the pelvic floor (although I think you’ll find this part of the episode extremely insightful!), but also about programs and how structuring them into a signature series can be the catalyst for a total business model overhaul.

That’s the case for my guest on today’s episode, Tara Gregorio who is a Pilates industry vet and a former successful studio owner.

That’s right; I said former…

After building her studio to great success by transitioning from class packs to memberships to offering pelvic floor workshops that paved the way to her signature series, Tara is now riding the wave of her next evolution in entrepreneurship: online program creator.

With this transition, Tara is taking her life and business freedom to a whole new level by removing the responsibility of a brick-and-mortar business and beginning to build her presence 100 percent online.

Her story is not just inspiring; it’s a testament in what can you create when you can focus on the big vision while doing the work to lay the foundation brick by brick…

Because that is what builds an empire that will stand the test of time.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • How Tara started her career and had the foresight to build her education around her dream job
  • The concept that she has recently been introduced to {and I believe strongly in} that has changed everything for her business
  • Why conversations about the pelvic floor are so taboo
  • How Tara identifies the signs of a tight pelvic floor {and a weak pelvic floor}
  • The way she was able to take the pelvic floor work she was doing with her clients and create deeper conversation and awareness through developing her signature series
  • How having the right mindset allows you to push through the fear toward action
  • Why Tara decided to close her successful studio to be more intentional with her life and prioritize her family
