Are you leaving money on the table?

If you’re a health coach, yoga instructor, therapist, esthetician, doula, or wellness entrepreneur, you likely spend money every month on tools, services, and education that support your business.

But here’s the question: Are you deducting those expenses at tax time?

Below is a checklist of common (and often overlooked) tax write-offs for women-led health and wellness businesses. These deductions could help reduce your taxable income and give you a clearer financial picture of where your money is going.

  • Home office expenses (portion of rent, utilities, internet, etc.)

  • Office supplies (printer ink, paper, pens)

  • Business insurance

  • Software subscriptions (Acuity, QuickBooks, Canva, Zoom)

  • Business cell phone usage

🧘‍♀️ Health & Wellness-Specific Expenses

  • Continuing education & certifications (CPR, yoga training, etc.)

  • Professional memberships (NASM, Yoga Alliance, AADP, etc.)

  • Client tools (resistance bands, essential oils, massage tables)

  • Product samples for clients or demos

  • Event or booth fees (pop-ups, expos, health fairs)

🎨 Marketing & Branding

  • Website hosting & domain

  • Branding & graphic design services

  • Paid social media ads

  • Email marketing platforms (Mailchimp, ConvertKit, etc.)

  • Professional brand photography

🚗 Travel & Transportation

(Thank goodness, right?) Today’s financial world has evolved to a near-breathtaking level of efficiency and digital delivery.
