You may be an amazing therapist, counselor, dietician, health coach, consultant, chiropractor, massage therapist, Reiki master, neuropsychologist or even dog whisperer, but how will people outside your inner circle ever know about you?  Learn how to utilize free marketing tools to increase your reach and influence.

Not many start-ups, let alone priavte practioners, have a ton of cash budgeted for marketing, nor do they want to spend several thougsands of dollars when they don't even know if they will like or succeed in private practice in the first place. Established practices have found their pool of new clients drying up as people use the internet and not personal connections or recommendations to shop for everything from toothpaste to wellness services. The simple truth is you have to have a web presence to even exist, much less thrive, in the market these days.

This month, we will be talking about ways to communicate your professional value while preserving your personal values. So, wether you are an introvert, extrovert or something in between, together we will explore the best marketing plan for YOU.

Accounting, fee-setting, budgets, billing, collections, profitability . . . Many wellness professionals, after reading these words, are either on the verge of a panic attack or retreat into the “happy place” in their head where the only thing they have to do in their private practice is what they do best – see clients and help them live as happier, healthier versions of themselves. 

This session, 2 facilitators will help you face your fears and find your footing in finances. Two experts for the price of one -- Look at you, already making smart financial decisions!

Cogito, ergo sum -- I think, therefore I am. Research has found evidence that successful entrepreneurs have a very specific set of thoughts and beliefs? How you think about your practice will shape your feelings about it, determine how well you weather the natural ups and downs of the marketplace and influence how you convey your passions for your work to others, thus setting you apart from the crowd and making others want to refer to you.

A Primer in Private Practice

Are you considering declaring your independence from working for the big agencies and being beholdant to arbitrary demands of grants and policies you did not create? Is it time for you to create a career path you can be passionate about and proud of? Are you ready to finally shed those fears and take a shot at financial success? Let us help you find that success. We are demystifying the process, simplifying the steps and supporting wellness professionals who are curious and serious about taking the next steps in their careers.

Today, the average person’s attention span is about 8-15 seconds. Many studies now claim that if you don’t grab someone’s attention in the first 6 seconds, you’ve lost them. In fact, if you are reading this far down this event page, it is a damn miracle or you are exceptionally smart and dedicated to the growth of your business (probably the latter). Modern-day messages have been distilled into sound bytes no longer than 140 characters. That presents a challenge for most of us rather verbose wellness professionals with a wealth of knowledge to bestow. In this session, we will get you started down the path of brevity (don’t worry it’s a short path). We will help you choose where to focus your efforts and sift through the MANY online marketing options.

Just because you have a website, doesn’t mean people can find it. In this session, we will focus on the behind the scenes tasks of building and maintaining your site – the types of things those spiders that crawl the world wide web are looking for when they bring a site to the top of the Google search. Again, bring your computer or tablet so you can make some changes directly to your site as you learn!

This session, we will be starting (or refining) your website together. This is perfect for those who have been putting off creating a website or who have started one but are not happy with it. We will be showing you how to use a website builder to create a beautiful and informative site. All participants should bring a computer or tablet if they want to work on their own site during the workshop. We will be working with Squarespace, which comes with a free 14-day trial, so if you don’t like what you’ve created or want to use another platform, you may.
