Hi, I'm Mary.

I build the business side for people who are great at the work itself. For years that has meant working inside holistic and integrative practices: an integrative clinic in the mountains, acupuncture clinics in Kentucky, a mental health nonprofit, a meal prep kitchen, and a local cleaning company here in Western North Carolina.

Not consulting from a distance. Inside. Writing the consent forms, building the intake systems, running the content, fixing the Google profile, designing the menus. I know what it costs to run a small business because I've carried the operational weight of several at once.

Luceo & Co is where that experience becomes something you can hire. If you run a practice, I speak your language and know your compliance landscape. If you run a business in Hendersonville, I'm your neighbor and I want Main Street to win.

The name comes from a Latin motto: luceo non uro. I shine, not burn. It's a promise about how I work, and about the businesses I help build. Protect your shine. Avoid the burnout.
