Two immersive dinners.
The right guests.
$6M windfall.
The right guests.
$6M windfall.
In 22 months, we didn't chase volume—we built momentum:
- Two luxury rentals
- Two unforgettable immersive debut events
- One intentional marketing move
The Strategy
We didn't wait for word-of-mouth—we orchestrated it. Instead of relying on traditional buzz, we invited local tastemakers and real estate agents to an exclusive debut event. They became brand champions—spreading the word, sending clients, amplifying our reach.

22 months. Two properties. Here’s what happened:
- Direct bookings +65%
- Revenue streams: 2 → 7
- Two referrals from those very agents led to guests so enchanted—they bought the entire experience. Lock, stock, and wine cellar.
This wasn’t luck. It was designing the guest list, not just the guest experience.
That’s the impact of intentional hospitality—where word-of-mouth becomes a windfall, and soul meets strategy.
Fetching More Than Guests
The Pet Amenity Payoff
“If you're on the fence, let me just say... you've gotta work with Heather. She’s the real secret behind our success. It's the little things she suggests – stuff we'd never have thought of – that keep guests coming back. If you want to level up without turning your whole business upside down, she’s who you need to work with."

One Self-Serve Doggy Spa
Early ROI.
Serious returns.
The owners came to me ready to expand their resort footprint. But here's the thing: expansion would have diluted what guests loved most about the place—its intimate, authentic vibe.
The owners came to me ready to expand their resort footprint. But here's the thing: expansion would have diluted what guests loved most about the place—its intimate, authentic vibe.
So instead of building bigger, we built smarter.
These owners were already dog devotees, handing out custom handmade treats to every four-legged guest. We spotted a gap: no self-serve dog wash options in the area. So we created one. Then we doubled down, partnering with local makers to offer custom shampoo and cream rinse that complemented the treats.
The result? New revenue streams rooted in community, authenticity, and a whole lot of tail wags—without sacrificing what made them unforgettable in the first place.
We hit breakeven 6 months ahead of plan and unlocked a projected $60K profit lift in year two—28% YoY growth while the industry average is 12%.
Profits unleashed, expectations outpaced.
That’s what happens when you innovate with heart (and a few wagging tails).

Horses, Vision, and Unbridled Results
Sitting in the heart of horse country, the owners saw potential all around—but were searching for the right way to tap into it. That’s when we uncovered a true white-space: a therapy-meets-accommodation model for equestrian guests, riders, and those seeking the healing power of horses.
Instead of following the usual path, we designed a brand experience tailored to the rhythms of the local equestrian community—turning proximity and passion into a one-of-a-kind offering. It wasn’t just about providing a place to stay; it was about creating meaningful experiences, community partnerships, and truly special guest journeys.
The result? Not only did they attract—and delight—the horse-loving crowd, but they claimed a distinct, profitable niche that no one else in their market was serving.
With a $300K investment delivered under budget, occupancy climbed from 61% to 88%. We refined the nightly rate and added five new revenue streams, lifting total revenue by 46%.

They’re now on track to recoup the full investment by month 34 —well over a year ahead of plan.
That’s what happens when bold ideas and strategic execution meet in the winner’s circle.

Leaner. Smarter. Every bit as blissful.
The owners came to me ready to roll out a traditional spa model—complete with all the scheduling complexity, staffing demands, and overhead costs that come with it.
The owners came to me ready to roll out a traditional spa model—complete with all the scheduling complexity, staffing demands, and overhead costs that come with it.
But we flipped the script.
Instead of adding payroll, infrastructure, and operational strain, we designed a self-care center model that puts wellness in guests' hands—literally. Guests schedule on their own time, with zero additional staff required and minimized turnover needs.
The approach delivered the full spa experience at a fraction of the cost: capital expenses trimmed by 32%, operational costs cut by 25%, and revenue projected to match traditional spa models in year one.
This is lean, proven, and intentional hospitality—proof that bigger isn't always better

The Incremental Revenue Play
This client was stuck. Revenue felt flat, but raising rates wasn't the answer—guests were already paying market value, and the risk of pricing out loyal visitors was too high. We moved the levers most overlook. Instead of a price hike, we engineered an experiment: redesigning the guest journey from first click to fond farewell.

We moved the levers most overlook. Instead of a price hike, we engineered an experiment: redesigning the guest journey from first click to fond farewell.
We built a digital guidebook, curated irresistible experience upsells, and crafted a marketplace brimming with thoughtful, on-brand offerings. Every touchpoint became an opportunity to add value, boost satisfaction, and move the profit needle—no rate increase required.
The result: an extra $12K in annual revenue and a 15% profit lift driven by curated guest moments and revenue-rich interactions.
Sometimes all it takes is a smarter journey to deliver an even sweeter bottom line.
AI-mazing Efficiency
"Heather brings the balance my business needed. With her guidance, my bookings rose, my stress fell, and day-to-day operations finally match the vision I had when I started. She’s that missing piece. And now I’m finally able to transform my business into what I’d hoped to build."

Overwhelmed ops, meet intelligent systems.
Overwhelmed ops, meet intelligent systems. This owner was drowning in admin overload—buried under guest messages, repetitive tasks, and the constant risk of missing something crucial. Raising headcount or burning hours wasn't the answer, so we went strategic: deploying AI-powered communication tools, unified inboxes, and automated systems that took the grind out of guest service.
The results were undeniable. Administrative tasks were cut by 62%, response times dropped from three hours to just thirty minutes, and no guest question slipped through the cracks, freeing the owner to focus on guest experience and business growth.
Beyond smoother workflows, the change injected real dollars back into the business: $25K in projected annual savings and a 22% boost in booking conversions driven by faster, friendlier communication.
That’s what happens when you mix smart technology, streamlined systems, and a touch of strategy. You work smarter, not just harder—and operations finally keep pace with ambition.

New liquor license. Fresh approach.
When this client landed her liquor license, her head was spinning with possibilities—but the vision was still a little fuzzy. So we started with research: digging into market data, guest behavior, and competitor analysis to understand where the real opportunities lay.
Rather than follow the crowd with a classic bar setup, I proposed a bold move—a self-serve beverage concept that would flip the model, cut the overhead, and put control in the hands of the guest.
Self-pour systems and smart beverage stations meant labor costs were slashed by 35%, while per-guest beverage sales jumped 28%. Instead of long wait times and scheduling headaches, guests experienced easy, on-demand pours, curated selections, and built-in upsells.
The best part? First-year revenue is projected at 1.2x higher than the traditional model, with 18% lower operational costs and a streamlined guest experience that sets a new bar for profitability.
Self-Serve, Smart Returns—the kind of innovation that pours profit, not just drinks.

Growth doesn’t always mean more rooms tents.
While the market was busy chasing more units, I flipped the script—championing immersive events as a fresh stream of value.
We curated experiences that resonated with guests, created moments worth sharing, and brought community right to the property’s front door. Suddenly, the business wasn’t just adding profit—it was adding dimension, depth, and connection in ways square footage never could.
The results say it all: guest satisfaction soared, annual profits now track for a $15K boost—$60K over three years, straight from the power of experience.
For this client, innovation didn’t mean building more walls; it meant creating new worlds—and proving that growth doesn't always mean more square footage; sometimes it means more imagination.
