Finding someone to support your health can feel incredibly personal—and incredibly overwhelming.

You can read credentials and online reviews, but it’s difficult to know whether someone will listen, communicate and treat you like an individual.

Here are five wellness professionals I’ve built relationships with through BNI’s A-Team:

Amanda Anuraga with Tacoma East Asian Medicine offers acupuncture, massage, cupping, nutrition and herbs through an inclusive, patient-led approach.

Dr. Anna Chang with Onsight Physical Therapy provides one-on-one physical therapy, post-surgical rehabilitation, dry needling and physical-therapist-led strength training. She also specializes in climbing rehabilitation and performance.

Dr. Paul Martin with Brilliant Life Chiropractic provides gentle, individualized chiropractic care for adults, children and families.

Mary Verbovski with Verbovski Wellness brings an extensive professional background in nutrition, family wellness, weight management and cancer survivorship.

Rebecca Roberts with Whole Being Wellness Massage offers massage, deep-tissue work, lymphatic drainage, prenatal massage, craniosacral therapy, Reiki and other restorative modalities.

I’m sharing these names because choosing a wellness provider shouldn’t have to begin with a blind search. These are people who participate in our community, build long-term relationships and remain accountable to the people who confidently refer them.

If you would like an introduction to any of them, send me a message.

And if you’re a Tacoma-area business owner who would like to meet our group, the A-Team meets Thursdays at 7:00 AM at Tower Lanes on Sixth Avenue. Visitors are welcome and need to pre-register. Breakfast is on me!

Business owners are expected to know everything: bookkeeping, taxes, payroll, banking and marketing—while somehow still finding time to do the work that actually makes the business money.

You don’t need to do all of it yourself. You need the right people around you.

Here are five professionals from my A-Team network who help businesses build a stronger foundation:

Nicole Fisher, CPA, with Jeff Baker & Associates helps individuals and businesses with tax preparation, tax planning, accounting, IRS matters and complex business-tax questions.

Olivia Ludden with ADP helps employers simplify payroll, payroll taxes, time tracking and HR-related systems.

JD Lee with Commencement Bank connects business owners with customized banking services, including lending, deposit, merchant-service and treasury-management solutions.

Leah Knoll with Strategy 3 helps businesses strengthen their marketing through strategy, branding, website design, SEO, local search and creative services.

Christine Jaworski with CRJ Bookkeeping works with small businesses using QuickBooks Online, helping them keep their accounts reconciled, reports current and financial information organized.

The real value of a referral network isn’t simply having someone’s phone number. It’s knowing the person behind that number. These professionals show up, contribute and understand that every referral carries the reputation of the person making it.

If your business needs help in one of these areas, message me and I’ll make an introduction.

A contractor can make your vision come to life—or turn it into months of frustration.

That’s why referrals matter so much when you’re renovating, painting, landscaping or commissioning something custom. You aren’t only hiring a skill. You’re trusting someone with your space, your money and your expectations.

Here are five A-Team members I’m proud to have in my referral network:

Chris Conant with CEDA Construction works on residential and commercial renovations, including kitchens, bathrooms, additions, decks and tenant improvements.

Debby House with CertaPro Painters of Tacoma helps homeowners and businesses with interior and exterior painting, cabinet painting, staining and other specialty projects.

Craig Dyer owns The Grounds Guys of Tacoma–Gig Harbor, providing landscaping, landscape design and ongoing maintenance for residential and commercial properties.

Brian James with Madera Furniture Company helps create custom kitchens, built-ins, executive workspaces and architectural woodworking designed specifically for the client and the space.

Michael Hauser with New Pioneer Woodshop creates handcrafted custom furniture using traditional craftsmanship, modern design and thoughtfully sourced wood.

What makes this list different from one you could find online? I know these people. I see how consistently they participate, how they talk about their clients and how seriously they take the trust behind a referral.

If you have a project coming up, tell me what you need. I’ll help connect you with the right person.

If you ask me for my go-to marketing team, it’s Strategy 3degrees.

Leah, founder and lead strategist of Strategy 3, is my number-one go-to for everything her company offers.

That kind of trust isn’t built from exchanging business cards. It comes from years of consistently showing up, building a real relationship and proving that you care about the people whose names are attached to every referral.

Other than sharing the same name as me LOL, what sets Leah apart is that she doesn’t sell cookie-cutter marketing or chase the latest trend just because everyone else is doing it. She listens. She asks the right questions. She looks at the whole business and helps determine what will genuinely move it forward. 

Leah and her team are FULL of new and creative ideas to propel your business!

With more than 25 years of sales and marketing experience, Leah understands that your website, brand, search visibility, social media, advertising, content and email marketing shouldn’t operate as disconnected pieces. They should work together to help the right people find you, understand you and trust you.

Strategy 3 can serve as your entire marketing department or provide the missing expertise your current team needs. Whether your business needs a stronger brand, a better website, improved SEO and AI visibility, more purposeful content or simply a clear plan, Leah and her team know how to turn scattered ideas into an actionable strategy.

Most importantly, I know what happens after I make the introduction: Leah shows up, tells the truth and takes the relationship seriously.

That is why she is my first call—and why I recommend her with complete confidence.

If your marketing feels scattered, outdated or simply isn’t producing the results it should, and you can stop guessing.

Shoot me a message and I’ll personally introduce you to Leah. You can also learn more or schedule a free 30-minute conversation at https://strategy3degrees.com/.

Tell her the other Leah sent you~

One of the hardest parts of owning a home isn’t knowing that something needs attention—it’s knowing who you can trust to handle it.

You can search Google, read reviews and request estimates, but you still don’t really know who will communicate clearly, show up and stand behind their work.

That’s one reason I value my relationships with the members of BNI’s A-Team—the Abundance Team. These aren’t random names from an online search. They are people I see every Thursday morning, whose reputations are connected to every referral they receive.

Here are five people I want Tacoma-area homeowners to know:

Jon Teabo with A-Pro Inspection Services provides detailed residential and commercial inspections, including sewer scopes, indoor-air-quality testing and pre-listing inspections.

Garrett Willey with Do It Right Roofing helps protect homes and businesses with roof repairs, replacements, gutters and residential, commercial and metal roofing.

Nathan Joslin with GreenFlow Heating & Cooling brings more than 20 years of HVAC experience to heating, cooling, ventilation, energy-efficient heat pumps, repairs and installations.

Jeff Reichert with Royal Flush Plumbing handles everything from leaks and clogged drains to remodel plumbing and complete repipes.

Rolo Viray with At Ease Pest Solution has more than 22 years of pest-control experience and helps with common pests, bed bugs and wood-destroying organisms.

The difference is accountability. These professionals show up every week, answer our questions and build genuine relationships with the people who refer them. Their word and reputation matter.

If you need one of these services, message me. I would be happy to personally connect you.
