Services > Practice Management Consulting

I have been a practicing Acupuncturist since 1991, and I have been involved in Clinical Nutrition since 2006.   I truly enjoy serving others and I enjoy the problem solving process related to wellness.   Per many of my patients, I'm rather good with the wellness tools I rely on regularly. 

In approximately 2014 I began to recognize the level to which my "business skills" were holding me back as a healer, and the level to which they might be negatively affecting some of the people I was trying to serve.  

My story really wasn't that much different from many in the healing profession, complimentary, alternative or main stream Western Medicine.   My phone rang off the hook, but my lack of control over various business processes (most especially insurance billing) and the revolving door of employees and subcontractors I filtered through year over year affected both me and  my practice. 

In a twist of fate, I was presented with a rather unique opportunity to try to learn all aspects of my practice from a "business guy" with a feel for healers who also happened to be a technologist, and I've been on a ride to tame my left brain since then.  

As a result of our time together we have defined and documented an immense amount of information that we are in the process of publishing and sharing in various ways.   For more on this from a big picture perspective please see http://220club.weebly.com 

Practice Management --  Healing Arts Side of things
  • I offer daily shadowing for those who are interested for $200/full day and $100/half day.

Practice Management -- Business Side of things
