Your brick and mortar space is an extension of you and it represents the expertise your ideal patients are looking for. If you wonder why patients aren't rebooking or referring even though they tell you it was an excellent massage- what's going on? In this episode you will discover that your physical location has even more of an impact on how your patient feels over the great work you do as a massage therapist! You will learn from Carolyn Boldt, an interior designer and VP of Crossfields Chiropractic Design who specializes in holistic spaces to elevate the public perception of healthcare practitioners including chiropractors and massage therapists. Whether you own multiple clinics, you work as an independent contractor, or you rent a small room in an office building there are helpful takeaways in this episode for you. As a practitioner it is equally important to feel good in your work space to provide quality care. Carolyn gives us advice on how often we should freshen up our space, quick tips to elevate your surroundings, the importance of curb appeal, why your office is your biggest marketing expense, and more. Carolyn is also providing listeners with a Free Mega Bundle to help you evaluate your current office image.

Today, thanks to chiropractic care, Carolyn’s daughter still has her tonsils. The impact of that care on her daughter’s life would make Carolyn a lifelong advocate of holistic healthcare. In 2004, Carolyn and her husband co-founded CrossFields as a design-build firm in Atlanta, and in 2011 they changed their focus to improving the public’s perception of alternative medicine, and highlighting the power of holistic healthcare. CrossFields has helped hundreds of practitioners across the country expand their practices and reach higher levels of success by maximizing space, attracting and retaining patients, and saving money.

If you are a new massage therapist and you are beginning to discover all the amazing courses, modalities, techniques, trainings, retreats, workshops, seminars etc that you can take to enhance your career- I bet you feel like you want to take them all now. Like, right now! Maybe you have something in mind in order to work with a specific population, you want to go deeper on a technique you learned in school, or you have seen something that "looks cool" and you want to try. On the other hand, maybe you are feeling overwhelmed by all the options and since continuing education plays a big role in maintaining your practice you are willing to take anything just to earn the credits and maintain practice standards. Either way I have some thoughts on whether or not you should take courses in your first year of practice. If you are beyond your first year in practice I would love it if you shared your feedback!   JOIN THE NEXT RADICAL POWER HOUR CO-WORKING SESSION: https://mailchi.mp/9e63f57bcb9b/untitled-page  THE RADICAL RMT FB COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/theradicalrmt  THE RADICAL RMT INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theradicalrmt/  RADICAL RMT PODCAST SHOW NOTES: http://www.theradicalrmt.com/047-should-you-take-courses-your-first-year-in-massage-practice.html
