It's not just the stuff you think about (office rent, laundry, oils, linens, towels, utilities, phone, fees, licenses and more) but also trainings, books, tuning forks, furniture . . .
Some of it is quasi-one-time expenses but it all adds up and her take-home is less than one-half her gross receipts. As with manufacturing, there is an economy of scale but you can't scale up past about where she is without ending your vocation. I've read that some therapist in big cities can make an actual income. Those people don't last more than a few years unless they can branch out (tuning forks, light therapy, cranio, etc).
