    The Grit & Determination Needed To Become A Successful Naturopath With Brooke Klower

    The Grit & Determination Needed To Become A Successful Naturopath With Brooke Klower

    Many of us face challenges when it comes to building a biz as a health practitioner - from financial difficulties to relationships ending. And if you ask my latest guest, Brooke Klower, she would tell you the most important factor is your grit & determination to become successful.

    Brooke is the owner of Balanced Beings, the epicentre of treatment for children's & mothers’ health. She is a naturopath, but first and foremost a mother. Through her own health journey and her children's, she realised more holistic options need to be available to mothers. From there, she built a successful business offering consultations, workshops and a product line.



    In this episode, Brooke shares: 


    Graduating and launching a business with a newborn


    The importance of working in a niche


    Expanding her business and employing other practitioners


    Why it is essential to make sure your legals are in place


    Investing in outsourcing to ultimately make more profits


    What success feels like for her and her business


    And so much more!

    In this episode, Karlie shares:


    How her mindset & self-belief lead to early business success


    What Naturopathic Emotional Release involves


    The freedom to choose what you discuss in NER


    People and behaviours that NER can benefit

    The Science & Art Of Physical Examination With Katie Barron

    The Science & Art Of Physical Examination With Katie Barron

    Did you find physical examination intimidating during your studies, and avoid it at all costs? If so, it’s time to tune in to learn why physical exams are a) not as scary as you think and b) incredibly valuable for you as a practitioner! That’s where my guest Katie Barron is here to help.

    Katie is a naturopath and former college lecturer, wife, mum, lover of her 50kg bull mastiff who recently returned from travelling around Australia in a van with said dog and her family.

    She noticed that qualified practitioners were completely freaked out by including physical examination in their consultations, and set about creating a system to make it easy for them. Katie ran workshops all over Australia and NZ in 2019, and ran online programs teaching this topic in 2020 and 2021.


    In this episode, Katie shares:


    Her background and journey into natural health


    How she first became involved in teaching physical examinations


    Overcoming the nerves of performing physical exams


    Cringe-worthy (and rather funny) stories from early in her career


    The pivotal point when she designed the career that she wanted


    Why building trust with clients is critical


    And so much more!
