Get started
I've spent my career helping practitioners communicate what makes their work valuable, attract the right patients, and adapt as the way people find and choose care has changed.
Being good at the work and knowing how to build a practice are two different skills.
I spent 13 years in private practice and treated hundreds of patients. So I know the part of this work that doesn't show up in a marketing plan.
The uncertainty when the schedule isn't full. The difficulty of explaining work that patients don't always understand. The frustration of being good at what you do and realizing that isn't enough, by itself, to build a sustainable practice.
Early in my own practice, I struggled with exactly that.
Learning how to communicate the value of the work changed the trajectory of my practice. It also changed the direction of my career.
In 2005, I began helping other practitioners solve the same problem.
What started there eventually became group programs, courses, trainings and dozens of practitioner-focused programs used by thousands of practice owners around the world.
Since 2005, I've worked with thousands of practitioners around the world through group programs, courses, trainings and practice-building programs.
That work has crossed disciplines — chiropractic, acupuncture, naturopathic and functional medicine, therapy and other forms of specialized care.
I've created and launched dozens of programs over those years, many of which became popular within the practitioner community I served.
And because I've stayed in this world for more than two decades, I've had a front-row seat to something equally valuable: watching the way patients find and choose practitioners change over and over again.
I've worked through nearly every major shift in practitioner marketing over the past two decades.
The tactics that worked in 2005 aren't the tactics that work today. Some channels disappeared. Others became saturated. New ones emerged.
Now AI is changing the landscape again.
But underneath all of those changes, the fundamentals have remained remarkably consistent.
People want to feel understood. They want to know that you understand the problem they're trying to solve. They want to understand why your approach might be right for them. And they need enough trust to take the next step.
That's why I've never been particularly interested in chasing tactics for their own sake.
The medium changes. The job is still to connect the right practitioner with the right patient.
After 20+ years in practitioner marketing, I've come to see the website as something much bigger than an online brochure. For the right practice, it should do much of the work that the practitioner used to have to do personally: create recognition, explain the approach, establish trust, answer uncertainty and help the right patient decide to take the next step.
Most practitioner websites begin with services. I begin with the practitioner.
How do you think? What do you notice that others miss? Who do you help particularly well? What does your experience allow you to see differently?
That's where the website should begin.
Before someone cares about your credentials, they want evidence that you understand what they're living with. The strongest practitioner websites create recognition before explanation. The patient should feel:
“This person gets what I've been dealing with.”
What happens when I contact you? What will the first visit be like? Is this appropriate for someone like me? Why would I choose this approach? What happens next?
A good website doesn't make people hunt for those answers.
AI can write copy. It can generate images. It can build pages. It can analyze search data and create an enormous amount of content.
I use those capabilities every day.
But the most important decisions still happen before any of that.
Technology has dramatically expanded what I can build.
Twenty years of doing this determines what I ask it to build.
Writing has always been part of how I make sense of business: find the principle underneath the tactic, then make it useful.
If your current website doesn't communicate what makes your practice worth choosing, I'll take a look and show you where I think the opportunities are.
