Episode 052: Why You Should Be Using E-mails To Stay Connected With Your Clients
Join David as he talks about why you should use email to connect with your clients, what not to do and what he loves to read in an e-news. Sending regular e-mails to your clients doesn't have to be hard, long or fancy, and it especially shouldn't feel dirty. But if you want to cut through the crap already in their inbox you need to give your clients a reason to open your news. Swap the idea of selling for stories. A glimpse of you that your clients can connect with. Like a letter from an old friend. Treat every E-news like it has the potential to go beyond its recipient - because often they do!

Episode 050: Amy Tyler - A Career in Oncology Massage
Join Jackie as she chats with Amy Tyler of Institute of Oncology Massage. With over two decades in remedial therapy, Amy talks about how massage can provide comfort and aids recovery for cancer survivors.
Amy also shares her personal journey having recovered from a benign brain tumour herself, enhancing her empathy and understanding towards patient care. She advocates for all therapists to learn oncology massage due to its growing necessity and explains that it's more about adapting to individual needs rather than applying a specific technique. Training is essential, as many cancer patients have complex health issues requiring knowledgeable care. Despite the emotional challenges, Amy finds profound fulfilment in her work and encourages ongoing education within the therapeutic community to better serve those affected by cancer.
You can find the Institute of Oncology Massage website and courses here.
