About Grace JonesGrace is the owner of Bloom Chinese Medicine, a thriving multi-practitioner Chinese Medicine clinic on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. When Grace started out in practice in early 2014, she found that it was very difficult to find a position in an existing clinic that was in need of a new practitioner. So, she rented a room in a massage clinic with a happy-go-lucky attitude and absolutely no idea about how to run a business.

Over the course of the last 9 years, Grace has built a clinic with a purpose to not only nurture its patients, but its practitioners and staff as well, in the hope that fewer newly graduated practitioners will have to go through the ups and downs of learning the hard way as she did.

What you can expect in this episode:

Taking successful Maternity Leave as an Acupuncturist while her clinic kept running without her!

About Jeff ShearerJeff Shearer has been in practice since 1995. Starting out as a mobile massage therapist he has had a wide range of practice experience from renting rooms in established practices, running his own multi-practitioner practice and now in his busy three - room practice Evolve Natural Medicine in Newcastle, NSW.

Today we’re talking about your online presence.

Because as much as we want to be health practitioners first, we want to be able to successfully promote our clinic business.

Our digital presence and the ability to be found by our patients is the number one reason for a good online presence.

Marketing gets a bad wrap for having a bit of a sleezy vibe about it, but at it’s heart: It is literally; telling your patients that you exist, what you can help them with and how they can find you.

You wouldn’t just open your clinic and not tell anyone about it, would you?

Listen and get motivated for your online presence

What you can expect in this episode:

WHY your online presence is a modern day necessity
Your website basic requirements for success
How to strengthen your SEO
Utilizing your email & blog posts
