Bricks to Clicks: A Mom’s Journey from Hands-On to Hands-Free Income

How Tamara Pivoted from Massage Therapy to a Freedom-Based Online Business

What happens when your business no longer fits your life?

That’s the question Tamara Auer asked herself when she became a mother at almost 40 and realized that running a full-time massage therapy practice was no longer sustainable for the kind of present, connected motherhood she craved.

In this episode of Mom Bosses Abroad, Tamara shares her powerful story of shifting from bricks to clicks — from hands-on healing work to a hands-free, wellness-based business model that supports her values, her family, and her future.

From Massage Table to Laptop: Tamara's Bold Pivot

As a professional massage therapist and student of Health Science, Tamara was no stranger to the world of wellness. But the demands of a brick-and-mortar practice began to clash with her new role as a mom.

She didn’t want to choose between her passion for healing and her desire to be present at home. So she stopped asking “How do I make this work?” and started asking “What could work better for me now?”

That’s when she found high-ticket affiliate marketing through Enagic—and everything changed.

Freedom as a Wellness Practice

Tamara didn’t just pivot careers. She redefined what wellness means.

For her, true health includes peace of mind, flexibility, and the ability to be fully present with her son. The online business she chose allowed her to:

• Stay rooted in her health values
  
  
• Continue supporting others in their wellness journey
  
  
• Contribute financially without burnout
  
  
• Decide when (or if) she returns to hands-on work
  
  

It’s not about abandoning her career. It’s about building a foundation so she can return to it on her own terms.

Business as a Bridge, Not a Burden

What stood out most in Tamara’s story is how aligned her decision felt.

This wasn’t a hustle move. It wasn’t a desperate pivot. It was a conscious choice to align her business with her season of life.

Now she helps other women do the same: use simple, powerful tools to build income and impact from home, in a way that complements their wellness journey instead of competing with it.

Your Purpose Doesn’t Expire—It Evolves

Tamara’s story is proof that you don’t have to stay stuck in a model that no longer fits.

You can honor your past experience and build something new.
You can serve others and serve your family.
You can still be the healer, the nurturer, the guide—just in a form that matches your current energy and capacity.
