IBCLC Mentorship Programe
Preparing for Private Practice
I know that it can be daunting to begin your own private practice, which is why I have created a mentorship programe to support you on this journey.
It is important to me that we are able to work closely and build relationship, as well gaining ongoing community support. This is why we only open for applications a couple of times a year.

I understand there is a LOT to consider when starting your private practice. We will discuss how to register as self-employed, GDPR requirements and how to meet legal requirements, setting fees, writing documents such as terms and conditions, and payment policies. I will also guide you in setting up your intake forms and safe storing of data.
-
I do not offer a trial for this course for a few reasons. The most important being, that it is important to me that each cohort is able to connect as a community - this isn’t possible if people are joining and leaving at different times.
-
Monthly coaching sessions will be recorded and shared within our private area only. While this means you can catchup when life happens, I thoroughly encourage you to join live where you can - our discussions often go off on interesting tangents and the community is always happy to support you.
