  • 395. How to Stop Making Panic Money Decisions in Your Natural Therapy Practice
    Mar 23 2026

    What if clients aren't coming back because of how you're thinking about money, not how good you are at your job?

    End of March already, can you believe it? Here in South Australia we've had the festivals, the heat, the whole circus, and now we're suddenly staring down autumn. It's got me thinking about something a lot of us don't want to look at too closely: are we making money decisions from a calm, grounded place, or are we just winging it and hoping for the best?

    This month we've been getting stuck into pricing, structuring your offers, and building packages. This episode pulls it all together around one cracking question: is fear driving your financial choices, or are you actually in the driver's seat?

    We talk about why even a casual few-clients-a-week practice needs proper intention behind it, how I kept a full diary when my kids were little, and why gifting a free appointment to a client who refers someone is one of the smartest things you can do.

  • 394. How to Keep Clients Coming Back: Building Support Packages That Work for You and Them”
    Mar 16 2026

    Most clients don’t drop off because they’re done. They drop off because no one’s shown them what comes next.

    In this episode, I talk about how clear support packages can change everything, giving your clients structure, giving you steady income, and making the whole experience flow better for everyone.

    I share how losing private health rebates ended up being one of the best things that happened to my business, the glittery magic wand story that still makes me grin, and the small phrase that changed the way I work: “your next appointment is.”

    If you built your care around outcomes instead of one off consults, what would shift for you and your clients?

    If you enjoyed this episode, give it a quick five star rating and share it with your fellow practitioners.

  • 393. Money and Stability Series: Feast and Famine in Clinic: Why Your Bookings Go Quiet (and What to Do
    Mar 9 2026

    One week your clinic is fully booked. The next week your diary is suddenly quiet and your brain starts going into overdrive. You start wondering if you’ve done something wrong, if clients have disappeared, or if your business is going backwards.

    In this episode I talk about the feast and famine cycles that come with running your own practice and how quickly those quieter weeks can knock your confidence and fire up your nervous system.

    I share the simple pattern that completely changed the way I see slow weeks in my clinic, why I cap myself at 15 clients a week to protect my energy, and what I actually do when a booking gap appears so it supports my business instead of sending me into panic mode.

    If you’d like support creating more stability and calm in your practice, come and join me on 16 March where we’ll go deeper into this and help you put some structure around your business.
