Herbalists & Nutritionists: In the Clinic with Camille

Signed up for too many courses? It's fine to get rid of them.
A few weeks ago, a student in my Grow course shared a sentiment that's all too familiar.She wrote:"Having bought too many courses that are on backlog feels super burdensome. I want to just throw them all into the sea, as they represent time I don’t have."So relatable, especially after almost 3 pandemic years.Here are my suggestions:#1: Make an inventory of the things you signed up forWrite it all down in a Google/Word doc (or anywhere you'll be able to find later) with links & expiration dates if relevant. Include free stuff.#2: Decide which ones are a priority nowA reasonable number. Think 3-4 over the next few months.#3: Keep other interesting ones for reference laterThey're on your inventory list if you need them. Stop thinking about them for now.#4: Pitch the rest into the seaActually delete them. Toodles.To reiterate, you are allowed to get rid of trainings, classes, webinars, cheat sheets, templates, etc. for any reason, even if you’ve paid for them.Don’t like the teaching style? Chuck it.Already know most of the material? No need to keep it.Not interested? Can't remember why you signed up? Have 17 sales page templates that are all basically the same? It’s fine to delete.Time to do some fall cleaning.

Today, we're talking about how to know whether you're ready to start a clinical practice. As part of New Practitioner Week, I've been asking people about the hardest part of getting a clinical practice started. "Knowing if I'm ready" has been a top answer. In this episode, I share some info about how to know if you're ready and how to know if you're in the "bull in a china shop" phase 😮. If you're in the "I'm ready!" phase, come join us for New Practitioner Week.

It's episode 50! Thanks so much for your support 💓
Today, we're talking about how there is no playbook for you to follow when creating your own practice. You build your own path, which is terrifying and also freeing. Please don't wait to get started until you know what you're doing. No one knows what they're doing. Start by taking steps forward, even if they might be wrong. Get an accountability group. Find a mentor. (Monday Mentoring is opening soon!). Join the Grow course.
You won't know what to do until you try some things. You'll find out what works for you, and what doesn't work for you. Do more of what works. Keep moving forward, and the next step will become clear.

Experimenting with a new follow-up visit option
Sometimes, a standard follow-up visit just isn't long enough.
In this episode, I share a small change I've made in my follow-up offerings that allows clients to self-select the type of follow-up visit they need/want. It's working really well!
There's also a bonus tip included that helps both your client and you remember how long your visit is supposed to last.
I'd love to hear what you think of these tips. Send me a message at https://intheclinic.com

When I went into clinical practice, I realized quickly that I needed to learn a new skill set quickly: how to run a small business. Without the formal structure of school, it's hard to keep track of important information. In today's episode, I talk about how I use a practice notebook to keep track of the most important things, and why keeping a "later list" has been such an important development. Enjoy!

A lot of people don't realize how much tracking happens when you send an email newsletter. Although it's actually less invasive than the tracking associated with social media use/posting, it's still quite a surprise to many people who are just starting their own newsletters. In this episode, I share advice about how I think about these numbers and which ones I use to inform my writing.

TLDL (too long didn't listen): I didn't know until recently that hibiscus is often intercropped with peanuts, meaning that it likely is not appropriate for our clients who have severe peanut allergies.
I hope this episode is helpful!
If you haven't tried hibiscus tea yet - and if you aren't allergic to peanuts - give it a try this summer 🌺

In this episode, I share a simple but effective tip that I use often with clients re: how to get in a few more servings of veggies each day. Note that in the beginning of the episode I mention wanting to get clients to 6-8 servings per day. I should have said 6-8 servings of *fruits* and veggies per day - ideally I'd love to see 6 veggies and 2 fruits or 5 veggies & 3 fruits - although with many folks we're working towards 3 veggies & 2 fruits.
As I mentioned in the episode, I'm working on a compilation of recipes to help people prepare veggies so that they're actually tasty. Just one or two recipes per veggie, suitable for absolute beginners.
