EP02: Pedro Alcobio, remedial massage therapist and owner of Health Place

Pedro started as a massage therapist in Portugal before travelling the world doing massage for Cirque du Soleil.

He moved to Brisbane and opened his business in a room out of a gym, and four years later has grown Health Place to two locations in Brisbane employing a team of eight staff.

Although Pedro is lead therapist for Queensland Reds and the Queensland Ballet, we had an interesting chat about how he targets his ideal clients for the clinic – and they’re usually not sports people. He then shares a couple of practical tactics that are working better than Facebook for him as he gets bookings.

Pedro also reveals the reality of the challenges he faced growing his business and how incredibly fulfilling it is to work in this industry and become a true health leader.
