SheScales, a marketing advisory program powered by Rain the Growth Agency, has selected four female-founded companies to participate in its 2023-2024 program, including two physical therapy companies. The program provides mentorship and dedicated marketing support for up to one calendar year.

The 2023-2024 cohort companies include:

Connect & Beyond Physical Therapy – Combining physical therapy with preventative wellness classes, Diane Shiffer founded Connect & Beyond Physical Therapy to provide holistic healthcare to adults 40+ seeking “enlightened aging.” The practice offers distinctive small group classes such as Essentrics, Return to Run, and Tai Chi to support clients post-injury/surgery, help build strength, and improve mobility. Their approach also integrates community engagement to increase accountability and client satisfaction.

Therapeutic Focus – Therapeutic Focus provides occupational, physical, and speech therapy, as well as other therapy services for children in the West Memphis area and virtually. After suffering from a speech impediment and requiring speech therapy services as a child, LaTeasha Gaither-Davis decided to open the first Black female-owned therapy clinic in rural Arkansas to fulfill the healthcare needs of children in her community.

“We had an exceptionally strong pool of applicants this year, but felt Connect & Beyond Physical Therapy, hope&plum, Southern Roots Vegan Bakery, and Therapeutic Focus were well-positioned to benefit from our CREW’s marketing and media expertise in our next cohort,” said Jane Crisan, Rain the Growth Agency chief executive officer. “We look forward to helping these companies scale in 2024 and beyond.”
