This week we talk CPD - Continued Professional Development - and share our experiences of CPD; things we wish we had known when we first qualified and what we’d do different if we’d have our time again. We also give a shout out to some of the people who have provided us with our favourite CPD.

Next week it’s ‘Competition or Community?’ How do you see other therapists? How do other therapists see you? We’d love to hear your views and stories of your experiences - and get them in by Monday lunch time and you’ll have a chance of getting your own shout out on the podcast, just like @rachelrayreflexolology!

Giving your client a lovely treatment is only half the story when it comes to supporting your clients, and so this week Sarah, Nicky, Millie and Amanda talk about what they do to ensure their clients feel supported, empowered and invested in their own health and well-being beyond the treatment room.

What policies and procedures are you struggling with - whether that’s writing them or implementing them, or even knowing which ones to have?

In this weeks podcast we talk about why every complementary therapist should have a cancellation policy, the often overlooked issue of terms and conditions for treatment packages, the right to refuse to treat someone, and why it’s important to have a lone worker policy even if you’re not mobile.

We’ve only just touched the tip of the iceberg in this weeks podcast so we’re going to share a list of what we think are the top 10 policies and procedures you need in your treatment room on our IG and FB pages, and we’ll devote another podcast to this important topic in the next few months - so let us know if there are any particular ones you’re struggling with right now, or feel free to share your top policy and procedure tips.

Don’t forget to let us know any burning topics or questions you’d like us to chat about!

Hurray hurray!!

We’re back for Season 2 of Four Therapists and a Chit Chat. In this brand new episode Nicky tells us about her traumatic mouse dream and then we talk about our individual interpretation of the close contact service guidelines. Do we use linens? What have we taken out or kept in our treatment rooms? Do we do consultations by phone? Listen now - and don’t forget to follow!

Next week we’ve given you a choice of topics - what would you like to hear about? How to take better photo’s for your social media? Extending your treatment beyond the treatment room with good aftercare advice? Or perhaps a chat about policies and procedures you need in the treatment room? Let us know what YOU want to hear about!

AND finally, if you’d like us to give you a shout out in the next weeks episode then just share this podcast on your social media and say hi!!

This week we talk Social Media. Sarah loves it, but Nicky, Millie and Amanda find it a bit of a drain and just a little bit confusing!

We talk about content ideas, how often you should post, and we dip our toe in the murky waters of video’s, stories and reels. We come to the conclusion that you should just have fun, not worry too much, and come to Sarah’s first Social Media Surgery on Saturday 11th April at 10am. It’s totally free and she’ll be able to answer YOUR social media questions. Just pop over to her Bio on Instagram, or head over to her website at sarahwoodhousetherapy.co.uk for details of how to register.

We’re taking a break for a couple of weeks and we’ll be back on Wednesday 28th April!

This week Amanda, Millie, Nicky and Sarah chat about how they’re getting ready for April 12th - including newsletters, press releases and social media. They also talk about remembering what an amazing therapist you are and the importance of re-opening on your terms ❤️

With the 12th April looming lots of therapists are re-thinking their working arrangements, and that includes the 4TACC team.

This week Nicky tells us why she’s closing her home treatment room, Millie reconsiders her initial decision to go mobile, and Sarah and Amanda talk garage conversions and renting treatment rooms.

That sinking feeling when you get an email or a call from a client who thinks the treatment you’re giving them is not working. How do you respond? What should you do? Sarah, Nicky, Millie and Amanda share their experiences.

Nicky asks us to help her sort out a dilemma. Can she just be a Bowen therapist or does she need to offer more? We all end up agreeing that Gloria Gaynor has the answer....

Amanda, Millie, Nicky & Sarah are back with their weekly chat about being therapists. This week we talk about the perennial problem of how to set your price.
