the private practice project
learn. build. practice.
Your course didn't teach you how to start a private practice.
But I will.
When I graduated, I knew nothing about business, cashflow or marketing! I had to learn everything on my own. I spent months researching. I built my practice quickly, and today I have a full caseload with a waiting list.
I'd like to help you create a wonderful practice, which helps you support clients and keeps you feeling balanced and energised. And I'd like to tell you about the mistakes I've made along the way, to help you avoid them!
I can help you learn what you need, skip the confusion and get out there to help people. So let's get going.
