Speaking: From a Practice Owner Who’s Still in It
I speak to nurse practitioners, nurses and aesthetics and wellness owners about the part of practice ownership nobody teaches in school: the business. Every talk comes from my own practices, including the mistakes that cost me the most.

Every talk is customized to your audience. Tap a talk to see who it’s for and what attendees leave with.
-
For injectors, nurse entrepreneurs and aesthetics programs: the business side nobody teaches, from scope and Good Faith Exams to pricing and what changes when you become the owner instead of just the provider. Attendees leave with a Good Faith Exam checklist and their own list of treatments they will always say no to.
-
For aesthetics and wellness practice owners and business tracks: how I moved my own practice to memberships in about a month, and how to tell which of your services can become one. Attendees price one membership tier from their true costs and leave with a 30-day launch outline.
-
For nursing students, women’s leadership events and keynotes: from EMT to nurse practitioner to practice owner, starting with a goal of $500 a month. Attendees name one belief holding them back, look honestly at where it came from, and commit to one step they’ve been putting off.
