If you have realized that working online is for you and it really fills you up and your clients enjoy it - ditching your physical office space may be your next move. We know it can be scary - but we are here to support you during this transition. We believe in empowering each clinician to find the business practices that work best for them and then assisting them in reaching those goals.

For mental health and wellness work the ethics and confidentiality dynamics get in the way of allowing us to do a lot of our work from a traditional co working space or coffee shop. Also the heavy stories and things we hear all day is really a recipe for burn out, isolation and loneliness . If left to its own devices - and if not met straight on with intentionality and self care it can be disastrous.

Struggles will happen 10000% in owning your own health and wellness practice - but you do not have to power through it alone. In being in business for yourself, you already do a lot on your own - so we know it is hard to welcome in others and do things in community. But we are here to help you learn how to rely on others that are in the same space as you or were there last year and connect with each other and build each other up!

Opening a private practice is a lot of work and tough because it is likely requiring you to do lots of things you have never done before and maybe at the same time when you are wrapping up on your schooling, working another job, caring for your family, etc. Though we cannot promise that it won’t be hard work - we can take off some of the heavy load from you and assist you by giving you a framework to build the practice of your dreams from.

Virtual office spaces can assist a lot of professionals in the health and wellness field - but for those professionals that can work with clients outside of the state they are licensed/certified in - working online with clients and utilizing a virtual office can greatly impact your growth potential as a business owner.

If you are a human helper who is just starting out or predominantly works online and is seeking practice building resources, community, marketing assistance and more for an affordable monthly cost - our virtual membership may be the best fit for you! Will keep your practice overhead low - while still providing you with all you need for success.

Not everyone needs to have a full time office space just for themselves - but some do. Let us help you figure out what is best for you and your practice at this given moment.

Just as there is a lot to do when opening your practice - when retiring and closing it there is a lot to do too. So why keep it all on your plate? Let us show you how virtual and shared office spaces can assist you during this phase of business ownership and ease you into retirement.

These are not the only things that need to be done to open your practice, but this list will get you on the right path to starting your practice.
