Attention equine therapists and bodyworkers....
Do you want a constant flow of quality clients, and to even out your cash flow?
Want a personalised roadmap to elevate your business and help more horses?
You are in the right place....
Establishing and growing your business as a practitioner isn't one size fits all approach. You need more than a handful of clients, a Facebook page and a sponsored rider...
This isn't a hobby. You want to be a professional business person.
You need to get the foundations of attracting and retaining clients AND generating a consistent income RIGHT.
Unfortunately, more certificates, more training and more modalities do not automatically equal more clients.
Usually for equine practitioners get one briefly covered module on business – but there’s no way that can prepare any of us for the realities of running a practice.
Now that you’re in practice, you’re expected to know it all: You’re head of marketing and sales, drowning in admin, running accounts and billing, and treating horses all day long.
Hear me when I say, it's not your fault.
You simply don't get taught this when you train.
Most practitioners are told to just keep doing continuing ed classes and that’s all you need.
Back in 2017 I was frustrated, working a job I hated. I felt stifled because I wanted to help more than one horse at a time as a trainer.
So that’s when I created my horse care courses.
In combination with these courses I was teaching workshops. So I met hundreds of therapists and practitioners…
And they all kept telling me the same thing:
They talked about how much trouble they had filling their diary. They were clueless about how to market themselves and get more clients.
They spent all their money and time on CPD and Continuing Ed. But it still looked like their websites and social media were just thrown together because they didn’t get into this game to be a marketing expert.
What I also saw underlying all of this, was they also lacked the confidence to market themselves well.
Maybe you can relate? If so…
It's time to grow your business without all the stress even if it feels impossible right now…
I created The Expert Academy to support practitioners just like you because business is a skill you can master. Just like training a horse or a dog – it’s just way easier when you have someone show you the way.
I've helped therapists from all around the world, and I'd love to support you too.
I'd love you to come and join our community, make friends for life and learn from each other.
I’ll show you exactly how in a moment, but first…
I want to let you in on a little secret no-one else is talking about: To grow your business you have work on yourself
This may not be the “secret” to business success you’re looking for.
But the truth is, if what you’ve been doing hasn’t been working, then it’s time to try something different.
Business strategies and marketing only get you so far – and what we do inside Expert Academy is combine this with the inner work to create exponential success.
I’ve combined my business experience with crucial mindset shifts to quite literally transform the way practitioners do business.
The result? A spike in predictable income, happier clients, and a lot more animals getting the services they deserve.
