The Fully Booked Therapist Podcast w/Heather Hammell. Business coaching for hands-on therapists who are done underearning.

No matter the industry, strong business skills are essential for success. This is also true for your own Myofascial Release (MFR)  business. 

As you will hear from our guest today, Julia Chick, after attending Massage School and then training and specializing in  MFR, mastered the skills she need to provide her clients with excellent care but was still unsure about how to make money and not overwork.

To close this gap, she joined my group coaching program with the goal of raising her rate by 50 % so that she can take some time off when she wanted to. The result is that she doubled her rate, became fully booked, and built her confidence beyond her imagination. She is now a leader for her clients as she supports them with the necessary plans of care on their journey to having a pain-free life.

Can you do MFR as a Speech Therapist?

Our guest today, Nichole Ontis is a Speech and Language Pathologist who uses John Barnes Myofascial Release (MFR) gentle hands-on technique to determine and alleviate the cause of dysfunction in her patients and help with improving mild to severe problems affecting communication, cognition, swallowing, voice, and beyond. 

While working 3 jobs and building her practice Nichole found herself exhausted and overwhelmed. She felt like everything was hard and she was stuck in that story. Determined to find clarity in building the business she desired, break free from her jam-packed calendar, and reclaim her time, Nichole decided to give coaching a try. 

As she will share in this conversation how she has learned how to manage her thoughts, get clear on her goals, and has since been able to let an extra job go and is now earning in one hour at her practice what she earned in four hours at the job she left. This is possible for you too. Press play to join the conversation.

At its core, group coaching is all about creating action, decision, and self-discovery within a group.  In this type of coaching the coach provides a safe container for all the group members involved and encourages an exploratory and learning space whereby members of the group can have access to the combined ideas, knowledge, passion, and wisdom in the room.

You might be thinking, “I'm not sure if I want to be in a group setting. I'm going through kind of a rough or a frustrating period of time, I don't want to deal with another thing.” Or you might be thinking that you need to be performing at some certain level in order to be a good group member. I just want to offer that none of that is true. If you are willing to show up, be messy, not know what to do, and just be willing to be super honest with yourself and with the group in general, you're going to get everything you need from group coaching. 

There are many benefits from group coaching for you and your business. Listen in to learn more. And if I’ve decided that coaching is for you then I invite you to mark your calendars for March 23rd, 24th, and 25th. These are the dates when you can enroll in the next MFR coach's group coaching program, which is going to start in April.

We make decisions on a daily basis, from something as innocent as figuring out what to have for lunch to deciding on whether to implement certain opportunities into our MFR businesses. 

Making decisions can be an overwhelming process. So what ends up happening is a lot of people don't ever make decisions to move on with their life or business. They decide to do nothing and stay where they are because it seems safe and comfortable but it actually isn't comfortable. The thing is that not making a decision is also a decision. And the result is that you are in decision making hell. 

My favorite thing about coaching is that we get to delete drama and once you learn this, you start to apply it to every single thing you do in your business and in your life, and it becomes a superpower. Listen in as I share how you can delete the drama from decision-making so that you can make decisions quickly, efficiently, and on purpose to go after the six-figure business that you want.     

If you are struggling to make the best decisions to grow your business then mark your calendars to enroll in the next MFR Coach's Group Coaching Program starting in April. Those dates are March 23rd, 24th, and 25th and you can register at https://view.flodesk.com/pages/61ca6808ed19fa5e614f4daa.

Today's episode is all about growth and transformation. You'll be hearing from a previous group coaching member, Zachery Scott, as he shares his experience with coaching and the impact it’s had on him and his business.

Even though he has been in business for 25 years, he still decided to give coaching a try and now has the realization of some pretty key things that he wasn't doing correctly, that could easily be changed and some things that required more effort but definitely needed to be addressed.

The result is that he raised his rate, streamlined his process, enhanced his confidence, and became fully booked consistently hitting $10K months! 

If you are struggling with growing your business press play for some instant motivation, encouragement, and tips to get you on track to building the business you want.

Today’s episode is a remix of two previously recorded Facebook lives that I think are still very relevant and can be valuable for you as you build and grow your MFR business.

First I discuss sales vs. service. When a client buys an MFR service from you, they also purchase the experience that goes with buying that service. As business owners, we may fall into the trap of focusing solely on selling services to bringing in customers and keep the doors open but it's not sales VS service, It should be sales AND service. These two things go hand in hand. In this episode, you will learn why.

Second I chat a bit about therapist burnout. When we start to experience burnout in our business, the most common action we take is to get with our therapist friend and complain about how awful things are. This may seem helpful at the moment The problem when you have problems in common with your friends, is it's easy for everyone to dive into the pool of misery together and not really find a solution. There is a better way to handle burnout and in this episode, you learn how.

I found Myofascial (MFR) about 10 years ago. It was an accidental encounter that has changed my life for the better.

I’ve always wanted to help people get relief from pain and MFR is the best modality to do that. Myofascial is way more powerful than you may think. It is subtle yet it really moves things in your body. Once I was introduced to this practice I immediately jumped in and learned everything I could. This resulted in my transition from massage therapy to MFR therapist to now a coach for MRF therapist.

MFR has simply changed my life! Listen in to learn how.

I am a strong believer that online booking is a must in your MFR practice.

Online booking systems are not just for large businesses. One of the main benefits of online booking systems is that they allow clients to place their booking at a time that is most convenient for them. Using an online booking system, they can make their booking at any time of day or night, without having to worry if it’s within business hours or not. If you think about it, clients are much more likely to make a booking in the evening or at night when they wake up in pain. Make booking convenient for your clients. Offer them an online booking system that is always open for business and you stand the best chance at significantly increasing your number of bookings.

Try out online booking and let me know how it works for you. If you’re ready to set your business up with more systems and processes that will help it run more efficiently, then apply to work with me at https://www.themfrcoach.com/

When it’s time to send out emails, I found that most of the MFR therapists that I work with feel a range of emotions. They are proud of the work we’ve done to build their email list and are excited about the possibilities of helping more people live pain-free lives. However, once they hit “send,” the email is out of our hands and fear takes over because they think that the recipient will view them as being annoying.

My question for you is how will you even know if someone thinks that you're annoying? Listen, if someone thinks that you're annoying, that's a thought that that person has. You have control over what anyone else thinks about you. What you can control is your thoughts about the circumstance which will lead you to send out consistent content to your clients, helping them to understand how MFR can help, get them to stay in treatment longer or better yet, it helps someone else to tell a friend about what you do so they can get help too.

If you’re ready to identify your self-sabotaging thoughts and address them so that you can start to thrive rather than feel stuck, then apply to work with me at https://www.themfrcoach.com/
