Your Experience with bootcamp in one sentence: Bootcamp gave me the flexibility to be a mom and business owner at the same time!

How were you feeling before you signed up for bootcamp?: I was feeling overwhelmed with starting a private practice and having a baby at home. I used to sit on my phone googling all things PP during feedings at night wondering how to start and reading anything I could find. I knew I needed support and guidance to help me figure out my vision and goals for what my practice would entail.

What did your private practice look like before bootcamp started?: I had just moved in to a large office space and was renting out space to other PP therapists. I was burnt out and tired from managing subletters, teaching college courses, and seeing up to 20 clients per week.

How do you feel after Business School Bootcamp for Therapists?: I feel refreshed and strong.

How have your private practice and life changed after bootcamp (processes, clinically, work-life balance, financially)?: I now have a thriving group practice with 10 therapists! I no longer balance multiple jobs, I'm home with my kids when they aren't in school, and I work out 5 days a week. My practice revenue has doubled for the 4th year in a row and I have solid processes that take only a portion of the time they did when I first started my practice.

What would you say to someone else who is on the fence about joining Business School Bootcamp for Therapists?: You won't ever regret joining this group. There is a ton of amazing content to use throughout your journey as a business owner and you get an awesome group of colleagues who support you all over the country.

What do you wish you had known about private practice before you started?: I wish I knew Kelly and Miranda prior to starting!
