Spark Ideas, Ignite Growth

Fresh, fun consulting that turns wild thoughts into wow results.

Welcome! I'm Leah Hunt, a growth strategist located in Maplewood, NJ that helps entrepreneurs in the health, wellness, and beauty industry (think: estheticians, massage & therapists, health coaches, etc) attract and retain clients.

As a licensed esthetician with 25+ years of digital advertising experience — including roles at Microsoft, Adobe, and several advertising agencies — I bring a rare perspective: I've sat on both sides of the table. If you're struggling to grow your small business, I'd love to help.

If you're excellent at your craft, but growth feels invisible, let’s talk.

I imagine you became a small business owner in the beauty & wellness industry because you love making people feel good and you want to build client trust. But somewhere between showcasing your skills and running a business, the growth you imagined quietly stalled.

The problem isn't your skill. It's the strategy — or the absence of one built around how your clients actually find, book, and stay with you.

Maybe…

  • Clients love you but don't rebook — because no system exists to make that the default

  • You're posting on Instagram but it isn't filling your books the way it should

  • Referrals trickle in passively — there's no intentional system turning happy clients into advocates

  • Retail, upsells, and pricing confidence are leaving real money on the table every single month

  • You've tried marketing advice before — it felt generic, and it didn't move the needle
