Gillian Marsollier has been a Registered Acupuncturist in British Columbia since 2001, and an instructor of acupuncture for more than 15 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.
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!
