Now What? Part I: Get the Job

“My overall impression of this course is positive. It provided a comprehensive framework across four parts that answered essential questions about starting in the field. Each segment—from getting the job to refining skills—was well-structured and informative, offering practical insights and guidance for navigating different stages of professional development.”

“It was top notch! The information felt genuine and realistic to owning a private clinic. This is a fantastic course and I feel very comfortable moving forward in my goals of opening my own clinic.”

“I did not receive much training in beginning working in a clinic from my college education. I had no idea where to start and the online format of this course was easy to follow. I am deeply pleased with the level of information provided by this course. I feel significantly more prepared to begin my acupuncture practice. Instead of feeling nervous and confused I am now excited and ready to start! Thank-you so much for creating an informative outlet for new grads to find their footing!”

“Top notch! Every question I had was covered. The guidebook is the most helpful for me. I need to see things written down in order, with clear instructions and advice. Essential for anyone who is about to start practicing acupuncture. I have no experience in business, and this course was like a life raft for me. If you’re worried about getting started, definitely sign up.”

“Perfect. It was very useful and gave me good idea about what I need to do, but I would like to have some information about what kind of licence or insurance I need to apply for if I want to work in community.”

“Good general knowledge. Gave me ideas I had not thought of yet and a strong foundation for expenses and what to expect. Amazing Excel sheets. These are brilliant for inventory and expense tracking.”

“Excellent. Great course with loads of helpful tips. Most useful was the explanation of the different types of clinic structures and the difference between independent contractor, employee, etc. Very well done and helpful.”

“Exceeded expectations. I found it very thorough, clear, concise, and provided great direction.”

“Excellent. Wonderful course and instruction. I registered because I am a new graduate, and thinking now what do I do? Thanks Gillian you are the best!”

“Thank you. Great course and great advice to new practitioners!”

“Excellent. It is very engaging and cover the materials that I did not even think before.”

“This course was helpful in getting a more complete picture of becoming an acupuncturist, including how to get the job, goal setting, information on expenses and how to set your fees so that you can make money at the job you love. Very helpful to get a perspective from someone that has experience in this field.”

“Very good and informative. Straightforward and easy to follow. A must for anyone starting out!”

“Great! My friend who took the course recommended it to me. Everything was very helpful. I wish I learned all that while I was still at school.”

“Gillian’s course goes through so much that is so important when first starting out! Invaluable advice from start to finish, and thank you for the templates and “homework” to force me to get organized!”

“I registered due to the desire to start out strong. This course was detailed, thorough, and inspiring. I found the most useful parts to be the contract/interview preparation, the purchase list (capital and ongoing), and goal setting.”

“Extremely helpful. I got through my first interview with greater confidence because of this course. I highly recommend this course to new grads. Gillian covers all the important items we are not taught in school. It has been a very informative and valuable course!”

“I just want to express my sincere gratitude to Gillian.  I feel that I’ve been mentored by a very experienced, open, practical, efficient practitioner and teacher. This course is super practical, informative, systematic, comprehensive, and fun. I feel supported and more confident in what I do and what kind of practitioner I am.”

“Enjoyable, inspiring and validating. Some of the materials were familiar to me and some new. Appreciated the variety, demonstrations and samples.”

“I liked this course and I plan on referring back to it later. It really helped me to figure out what I want from my acupuncture jobs in the future and it asked questions that I didn’t even think about. Amazing. More than I was expecting.”

“I really really liked how throughout the course you kept giving us pep talks, acknowledging that we might be scared and nervous starting off! Good to know this is normal!”

“I want to get as good as I can as quickly as I can. This course, in particular, appealed to me because it offers a lot of practical client start-up/upgrade protocols that are rarely taught in college. I also really like your teaching style and dedication to facilitating student learning. A million times, thank you!“

“It was excellent. To have something tried and true to adapt to our own purposes is amazing. Some things, I might not have even realized I could benefit from; other things have saved me bucket loads of time. Incredibly thoughtful and informative. So grateful!!”

“This course is a great way to settle the nerves of entering a new field. A lot of information on how/where to get started. I didn’t have anyone to turn to for advice but this course was like having a friend guide the way.“

“Excellent, comprehensive, and essential for new practitioners! This course covers so many questions I had as a new practitioner and areas that were not covered in school.“

“This course is wonderful for someone who isn’t sure where they want to work once they’ve finished school and have completed their board exams. Most useful? 1. The insight into mentorship vs. apprenticeship. 2.Expenses section. 3. The different clinic styles. 4. Areas to negotiate in contracts.”

“I found the goal setting super helpful, inspiring, and put my mind at ease having the 3-month plan. I found the packaging ideas great! So much good advice that we did not get in school!‘”

“I joined because I had a great experience in the Bootcamps. This course was as brilliant as ever. I especially found useful the parts about setting fees and not being afraid to charge a fair fee!”
