I really do hope you’re enjoying the fabulous weather we’re being blessed with. 

I also hope that you’re enjoying the World Cup, if you’re a football fan or if not, that you’re managing to avoid it all. It can only get better (or worse if you’re not a sports fan) with the arrival of Wimbledon this week!

Anyway enough about the weather and sports, let’s get onto the business of your business. 

It’s July so let’s focus on the things that can help you and your practice before the summer holidays start to hit.

Breakthroughs in the alternative therapy arena
Vitali-Chi, the home of copper and vibrational healing, is really starting to make some breakthroughs in the alternative therapy arena. They have a growing network of Qualified Vitali-Chi Practitioners and Relax Leaders. This network has recently expanded offshore, with attendees travelling from Ireland and Spain to experience their ground breaking weekend workshops. With an extensive body of written testimonials that now number in their hundreds, demonstrating the value. In addition, they’ve also released an extensive skin care and wellbeing range. Every bottle is infused with vibration, along with the mostly natural ingredients and packed full of vitamins and minerals. Director Allen Jesson says: "The main reasons therapists find Vitali-Chi so useful to have as part of their 'tool kit', is that it works. It allows the therapist to treat a growing range of maladies. The therapist doesn’t have to be there when their client is 'in circuit'. That creates a welcome break in a busy therapist’s life. Therapists can also sell products from the range, to further extend the healing potential from their appointment." 

Eradicate paperwork from your practice
WriteUpp’s GDPR-ready cloud-based practice management system is a fantastic time-saver and a great tool if you’re looking to eradicate paperwork from your practice in the post GDPR-era. For those who are not tech savvy their support is famously friendly and their loyal (and vocal) users provide a great insight into what it’s really like using their system via their Facebook Reviews. Take a free 30 day trial today by clicking here.

Have a great month and see you in August. 

Kind regards,
Geoff Simons
