Specialist in Horticulture, Allied Health & Wellness

Esther Konrad is a highly authentic and client-focused Business Broker with Benchmark Business Sales & Valuations, recognised for her calm, grounded approach and genuine commitment to helping business owners navigate one of the most significant transitions of their lives.

With more than 15 years of firsthand experience owning and operating a successful massage, yoga and meditation studio in the Blue Mountains, Esther understands the dedication, resilience and personal investment required to build and sustain a business. Having successfully grown, marketed and managed a service-based operation over the long term, she brings practical commercial insight together with a deep appreciation for the emotional side of business ownership.

After her husband acquired the highly regarded landscaping business, Esther became heavily involved in the day-to-day operations of the company, particularly across human resources, workplace health and safety, team management and operational systems. This hands-on involvement provided her with valuable firsthand insight into the realities of running a service-based horticultural business.

Through her experiences, Esther developed a strong appreciation for both Allied Health & horticulture industries and the people within them. She understands the challenges business owners face balancing staff management, client expectations, scheduling pressures, service quality, compliance obligations and sustainable business growth.

This firsthand knowledge enables Esther to effectively communicate the true value of Allied Health and wellness businesses to prospective buyers, while also understanding the sensitivities often involved when transitioning businesses built around long-standing client relationships and trusted care models.

Her experience within service-based health environments positions her strongly within this sector and knows how to strategically position businesses to maximise market appeal, continuity and long-term value.
