Approx. income/yearly of Traditional Chinese Medicine Dr. w/ a staff, small retail store & fitness classes?

I am currently a CMT & Health Educator with a private practice & have been thinking about going to school to become a Dr. of Traditional Chinese Medicine to help people in a healthy, natural way, but I also increase my varying, and some unstable $60,000-70,000-ish income to $150,000-$200,000 a year. I have some big goals:

I want to go to school to become a Dr. of Traditional Chinese Medicine, & have my own practice/business which will include employees- about 2 Massage Therapists, 2 skin care specialists & a yoga/diet/fitness instructor that has a studio here w/ classes. This would be a 4-5 room business with a lobby/waiting area that would also include a small, but decent sized selection of holistic herbs/remedies/skin care/body products as well.

I am really trying to see what direction to go next with my business/education….
If I was to open a business like this, in the Los Angeles area would it be possible to make a PERSONAL yearly income $150,000-$200,000+ (after paying my employees, etc…)?
