With 2021 drawing to a close we thought it was a chance to reflect, and to take a look about how we're feeling about 2022.  With Nicky and Amanda eager for 2022 start, Sarah and Millie are postponing 2022 for a while.  We reveal how at times we've all felt concerned about the impact of Covid and lockdowns on our businesses, how many of us are having to supplement our income with part-time or (in the case of Millie) full-time jobs, and how social media can sometimes fool us into thinking everyone but us is having a bumper time with clients.  

We also get slightly distracted and start talking about CPD for the year ahead.

As always, we're just four holistic and complementary therapists having a chat, sharing our ups and downs, highs and lows.  If you want to be a guest on the show, or if you have a question for us just email us care of [email protected].

Have a wonderful break - and we'll see you on the other side!

Much love, Sarah, Nicky, Amanda and Millie

Oh dear!  Which member of the Four Therapists and a Chit Chat team forgot to post last weeks episode?!!!  Sarah - that's who!  Anyway, we're making up for it this week with a double whammy.

In this episode we're taking a look at renting a treatment room and working from multiple treatment rooms - what are the advantages and disadvantages, what should you expect from renting a treatment room, is it possible to work from more than one venue, and (perhaps most importantly) the assumptions you shouldn't be making about renting a treatment room.

Amanda has also got some exciting news for anyone in Essex looking to rent a treatment room!

As always send us your questions, and if you've got something you'd like to discuss or share with the 4T's team then let us know!

Much love, Sarah, Nicky, Millie and Amanda

Nicky decided she wanted to do something to supplement her income during lockdown so decided she wanted to open an online shop selling health and wellbeing products.  We talk about her journey and our own experiences and views, exploring the ups and downs of upselling - whether that's selling the products you use in your treatments, becoming a consultant for a company like Neal's Yard Remedies and Tropics or, like Nicky, branching out to sell related products.

Much love, Sarah, Nicky, Millie and Amanda x 

Welcome back to Series 5 of Four Therapists and a Chit Chat!  We pick up where we left off, with no Amanda!  But, it's less 'Lost in France' and more stuck on the M11!

This week we are joined by the lovely Daragh from Webhealer and we ask him 'Why do we need a website?'  Daragh guides us through why websites are more important than ever, how they form part of your social media strategy, and how to make sure you create a website that attracts clients.

As always, drop us a line to let us know what you think, or if you have any questions for Daragh to answer in another episode!

With much love, Sarah, Nicky, Millie and Amanda - four holistic and complementary therapists who love to chat!

Welcome to this weeks podcast - the last one of series 4!! In a change to our usual pattern we thought we’d try something new and talk about some of the common issues and complaints our clients come to us with, and this week we’re looking at sleep.

We all know that as complementary and holistic therapists we can’t subscribe or prescribe, so what advice can we give to our clients when it comes to getting a better nights sleep?

You can also take a look at Sarah's most recent blog at where she looks at some of the advice and suggestions she gives to her clients about sleep at https://sarahwoodhousetherapy.co.uk/2021/10/12/how-to-get-a-good-nights-sleep/.

Welcome to this weeks podcast where we talk about what to wear in the treatment room, branding and professional photography. We discuss the pro’s and con’s of having a uniform, and what that really means, the importance of branding - even if it’s just choosing a colour scheme - and why we are all beginning to warm to the idea of professional photographs. And, by the way, we have to give a big shout out to Vicky Plum Photography for the lovely photo's shown above!

Welcome to this weeks episode of Four Therapists and a Chit Chat, a podcast by four holistic and complementary therapists for holistic and complementary therapists.  This week we’re talking about two key parts to any treatment, consultation forms / the consultation and the importance of recording observations before, during and after the treatment. We look at how they can provide you with key information that can help inform the treatment and help your client see improvements - even when it seems on the surface that ‘nothing has changed’.
