Description

You became a therapist to help people—not to be a marketer, salesperson, or business owner.

So running a private practice?

Well, it comes with things that often feel overwhelming, put you out of your comfort zone, and make you ask yourself: How do I market myself to get the clients I want? How do I manage my time?” How do I grow my income without burning out?

And the idea of “selling” yourself and the endless admin headaches of running a business…ugh. Sound familiar?

But here’s the thing: running your own business is the key to creating the freedom and impact you dreamed of when you became a therapist.

And with a little help, you can be the therapist you want to be, feel fulfilled in helping others PLUS make money and be the boss —all with less stress and more confidence about running a business than you ever thought possible. 

That’s why I created this course.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 25 years in the business world, including 11 years as a CEO. So, I know what it takes to build and scale a business—and now I help therapists do the same, without losing themselves in the process.

Join me for a 6-hour training where I’ll make it easy for you to market yourself with ease (and without feeling salesy or inauthentic), set up simple systems to make time management and business admin easier, and create income beyond one-on-one sessions— all in a way that feels authentic ethical, and actually doable.

Whether you’re just starting out or already booked solid but overwhelmed, this workshop gives you fresh tools, clear strategies, and real-world solutions to grow your practice sustainably and confidently.

Let’s build the practice you’ve been dreaming of together!
