As Featured In:
In 2019, Michelle and Rachael met on a course and found they shared a passion for coaching and a love of teaching, which led to their collaboration on a range of events.
During the pandemic in 2020, they launched their first online course. The success of this event inspired them to create the academy, having already invested in InsideOut Wellness, a wellness centre which offered a range of therapies and alternative treatments.
Over their careers they had witnessed many practitioners feeling ill equipped to thrive in private practice, often stemming from inadequate training and support.
Many coaches, counsellors, and therapists face challenges such as:
- Costly certifications which give them skills but don't teach them how to sustain a private practice
- A lack of business and marketing skills meaning they aren't well placed to attract their ideal clients
- Not knowing how to stand out from the crowd when it comes to selling their services
These struggles often lead professionals to abandon their private practice. A quick scroll through social media shows how common it is for coaches, counsellors and hypnotherapists to think about giving up on their dreams.
And the reason they do what they do is they don't want that to happen to you.
Having walked the path from newly qualified to thriving private practitioners they understand the difficulties of building a private practice. This, together with their background in business coaching and training means they are better placed than most to hold your hand through this journey.
They've taught with over 500 students and see the benefit to keeping classes small to provide an enhanced learning experience for you.
