Gillian Marsollier | RAc

Gillian Marsollier has been a Registered Acupuncturist in British Columbia since 2001, and an instructor of acupuncture for 20+ years. After completing a 4-year Masters Program in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, she began her teaching career in Newfoundland. There she wrote the bulk of the curriculum for a 3-year acupuncture program and served as the Acupuncture Program Director. Gillian was then transferred to Halifax, where she successfully gained approval by the Board of Education in Nova Scotia for an acupuncture program. In addition to teaching, she practiced at a very successful multi-faceted alternative treatment centre while residing on the East Coast. In 2008 Gillian went to Nepal to teach acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine modalities at a medical facility. They are still using the modalities to this day to treat the locals from the Himalayan hills. For the last 5 years, Gillian has been pursuing the media side of acupuncture and natural healing through the creation of LIFT Education Academy. Through this online education platform, she has created many popular courses including bootcamps that have become the national gold standard for preparation for TCM registration exams.

Course description

This is the second of a 4-part mini-series that provides you with the missing information that most colleges don’t teach. Most new graduates say that they feel mildly prepped to put needles in patients once college is complete, but then feel thrown to the wolves when it comes to starting and creating a thriving business, both through logistics and patient interactions.

During this course, you will receive a huge number of invaluable templates and ready-to-go forms that you can use for everything from intake forms, charts, power points for presentations, ads, patient info forms, newsletters, and more. You will probably still be using the forms that you receive during this course years later! While watching the videos that make up this course, you will be introduced to marketing, strategic packaging specials, and network basics that will prove to be the foundation of your clinic’s success.

Why don’t you learn this in college? I HAVE NO IDEA!

Course Objectives

  • Take tried, tested, and true pre-made forms and adjust them for your practice focus and clinical branding.
  • Apply packaging specials that are proven to work to help your patients complete their full treatment plan. *You will need to check with your local regulatory body/association rules before applying these.
  • Numerous pre-made marketing materials, newsletter articles, full powerpoint presentations, adverts, waiting room slides, and more that you can immediately re-brand for your clinic.
  • Feel more confident networking both inside and outside of your clinic (this is a form of marketing)!
  • Learn how to chart efficiently and effectively in a way that will help you with your ‘internal marketing’.
  • Be able to create and recite a ‘blurb’ to your patients before their first treatment so that they know what to expect and become a part of their own healing process.
  • Plus many more golden nuggets of clinical tips!

Students are saying...

“Fantastic. Essential for all new grads. The information provided exceeded my expectations. A lot of things were mentioned that I would see as necessary that I had very little prior knowledge to. Such as ‘The Blurb’ and marketing/networking strategies. As a new grad, this course has provided me with a lot more confidence and direction, which has been a huge weight lifted!”

Annie - Calgary, AB, Canada

“It was top notch! It covered very valuable information. I’m very happy with this course and feel that the information has made me more comfortable when meeting new patients for the first time.”

John-Kyle Service - Toledo ON, Canada

Elisangela - Victoria, BC, Canada

“Good…while I already had a number of these tools and tactics in my “way of being,” hearing about Gillian having done these things (and more) kinda “gave me permission” to engage in the interactions I was more hesitant about. I’ve heard some people in other professions do the same, though it was extremely helpful to witness somebody in my profession doing these things. Thank You for another good online course Gillian and PacRim.”

Neil Anderson - North Vancouver, BC, Canada

“Great, very thorough. Provides a sense of direction, motivation and ease in the early days of practicing. Answers questions you didn’t even know you had! Thank you times a million, Gillian!”

Thank you so much for this course Gillian you are fantastic, you give great advice, tips, examples, forms!! Everything is so well laid out and easy to follow. All of the example forms are such a great idea, and will save me so much time. This course is going to make my first job so much easier than trying to navigate all of this on my own. This course has probably saved me years of frustration, doubts and failures.”

Darla - Calgary, AB, Canada

“Exceeded my expectations. Perfect information in a straightforward manner and eased my anxieties to start.”

Cindy Aiello - Calgary/Canmore, AB, Canada

“It was very helpful and covered things I had not thought about. Loved ‘The Blurb’ I can really see how that saves you!”

Now What? Set Up For Day One student, Canada

Now What? Set Up For Day One student, Canada

“Really great, succinct discussions of how to make your clinic a success – for your clients, financially and even for you to reduce your stress levels while you learn the ‘business’ of acupuncture.
