A former corporate professional has established a new online hub for her holistic health coaching business, utilizing a familiar website platform to manage services ranging from client bookings to e-commerce. Monikka Spruyt, who left her corporate role after the birth of her third child and a company merger, now operates Connect Holistic Health.
The website serves as the central point for her practice, which combines life coaching, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and Reiki healing. The platform allows clients to book sessions, register for events, and purchase wellness products directly.
Platform Selection and Development
Spruyt selected WordPress for the new site based on prior professional experience with the content management system. She stated that familiarity and trust from her corporate days influenced the decision. While capable of building the site herself, she opted to use a professional website design service to expedite the launch due to her responsibilities as a sole trader and parent.
She described the decision to have experts handle the initial build as the best time-for-money investment she had made. This approach allowed her to manage the site independently after launch while focusing on client work.
Website Functionality and Client Response
The primary domain, connectholistichealth.com, functions as a business hub integrating multiple operations. Key features include a booking system for client sessions, a membership area for Reiki services, event registration, and an online store.
Spruyt reported that clients have provided positive feedback on the site’s aesthetics and ease of navigation. The e-commerce backend for uploading products and managing the shop has been described as straightforward, representing an improvement over her previous website platform.
Business Operations and Future Plans
The website supports Spruyt’s solo operation, consolidating coaching, energy work, digital sales, and membership management into a single system. The design service handled the technical construction, while Spruyt provided the brand vision and content, resulting in a live site within days.
Looking forward, Spruyt plans to expand the online store’s inventory. She is personally sourcing and testing new wellness products before listing them on the platform. The website is expected to continue as the foundational tool for scaling her holistic health mission.
