Ideas for Ruby

I was on my long run on Saturday: it was 10 miles, so I had plenty of time to think. My mind wondered off to what the Ruby Center will be like. Of course, my end goal is to have a private facility in the middle of the wilderness with hired nutritionists, doctors, psychiatrists, therapists, gym, kitchen, group rooms, residential rooms, and the cherry on top. However, I was reminded that I can't really come from nothing to this elaborate facility.
I thought about my sister and how she just got her yoga certification and wants to seek an education in wholistic nutrition. I thought of friends who want to be counselors and social workers and help women and men with eating disorders. Then it hit me.
I could get a small space in the area, but make it more like a gym than a doctors office. Members would sign up on a monthly fee to use our resources like yoga sessions, nutrition classes, group music therapy, individual therapy or social work sessions, individual nutrition planning, and the list could go on. We could even have gym machines and hire on a sports fitness associate or physical therapist to map out workout routines.
This would be less threatening than going to appointments and they wouldn't have to worry about insurance (but that could change); instead, they would pay the fee as if they were to pay for a gym membership (which most of them probably do anyway). I'm super excited, but I want to know if this is a good idea or not. There could many things I am not taking into consideration at this point.
Share with me your ideas. I want to know if this could have a chance.
Blessings,
Jen
