What is going on here?
We are passionate about helping Chinese medicine and other holistic medicine practitioners make a good living without sacrificing their integrity, their sense of life balance, or their vision of how the medicine should be practiced.
It is possible – we know because we’ve been doing just that for 13 years and counting!
Despite the fact that it is possible, that doesn’t mean it’s easy. The truth is that holistic medicine providers experience a lot of unique pressures, and end up having to balance a lot, without much support. Our education can be patchy, alumni services non-existent, and peer community hard to come by or sustain. We’re doing our best to combat that, using:
- Free education on our blog and upcoming podcast!
- Curated and protected online community (NO FACEBOOK!) where we offer more free education as well as forums where you can ask questions, engage in peer-to-peer support & more.
- Business coaching for people needing 1-on-1 support, including packages and one-off sessions.
- Coming in 2023 : Herbal consultations for providers struggling with difficult cases.
- Coming in 2023 : Online courses in Business, Practice Management, Medical Ethics, Classical Chinese Medical Philosophy & Chinese Herbalism.
