Do you ever feel like your practice is held together by nothing more than rubber bands and band-aids?  Feel like you're constantly putting out fires instead of actually growing the business you dreamed of? 

If this sounds familiar, you'll love what I have for you today, because I'm talking to the ever-so-organized Ariana Refsdal about creating systems that actually work for creative, intuitive healers like us.

Ariana is a business systems expert who helps mission-driven entrepreneurs streamline their back office operations through a more holistic approach. 

And, she knows that organizing our office isn’t what we get excited about - so she wants to make this easier for all of us. The better things are behind the scenes, the better we’ll be with our clients - right? 

Right!  (She gets us, friends.)

So in this episode, you'll learn:

  • The 3 systems every practice owner needs to have in place (and why you need them sooner than you think!).
  • The one system that will help you get out of your own way, so your business can finally grow.
  • How to onboard your clients in a way that sets boundaries AND makes them feel supported from day one. (I love that.)
  • Why systems don’t have to be complicated to be powerful, plus which system you should implement first.

This conversation really hit home for me. 

Because here's what I know about you… You're amazing at the clinical work, the healing work, the magic you were called to bring to your clients. 

But if behind-the-scenes chaos is keeping you up at night or distracting you during sessions, then something's got to give.

So give this one a listen.  Because when your business runs smoother, you just feel better.  

You do better work, you show up more for your clients…

…and you make more money too. 😎

What’s not to love about that?!
