Why should I network with other practitioners?
Posted on
We all have our own way of running our businesses, and as holistic practitioners we all know how precious our clients and patients are. We are also aware that we cannot be all things to all people (seriously, you cannot support every person with every ailment can you?) So it is absolutely vital that you can signpost your patients to reliable, trusted colleagues who you know will care for them just as you do.
Within a network like the Healing Tree Network we have people offering diverse practices and therapies so we have the opportunity to get to know one another, learn exactly what each person offers and build up a relationship of trust. So when we start to consider care for our clients which compliments our own, we know where to look. (I find it also helps when you need for you or your own family.)
There's also the business side of specialised networking. Whether you are looking for branding, help with social media, a place to practice or professional supervision, it is so much better to have a personal recommendation rather than scrabbling around looking for someone who may be right. We share challenges, opportunities and help one another to grow our businesses.
And socially we are in a very special situation. We mostly work alone and can't talk about our clients with anyone. Being with a group of people who understand this and have so much to share is fun!
So, are you ready to give it a go? Book here for our next meetings.
