QUESTION for Healing Arts Practitioners:
Grow a healing arts practice that nourishes and sustains you TOO?
What if you, as a healing arts practitioner, could do fewer things, more effectively so that you can serve the people you want to help... Oh and also take really good care of yourself financially?
You'd...
Be able to focus on helping your clients instead of scrambling to do the small business tasks
Finally earn the income you want from your practice
Shine like the professional you are through how you grow your practice so that your perfect-fit clients come looking for you
And finally build the private practice you always dreamt of owning!
All without having to present yourself as a guru on social media, or adopting a gross salesy persona.
But if you're like many healing arts professionals, you probably feel like putting your head in the proverbial sand and just hoping your private practice will work out, because:
You hate the thought of taking time and attention away from providing client care to sift through small business tasks
You feel overwhelmed by the amount of business and marketing advice that’s out there on the interwebs these days
Or maybe you don’t know where to start to connect with clients (and pushing publish on social media posts doesn’t seem to exactly work)
Or you have plenty of clients but still seem to magically have a hole at the bottom of your bank account (where does all the money go!?!)
Let me tell you right now...
YOU'RE NOT ALONE
If you don’t have a plan to follow, it can be easy to make some critical mistakes, get off track, and never end up with the kind of practice that you imagined for yourself.
Without guidance and support, it can be difficult to make any progress at all!
I should know, I walked into just about every brick wall imaginable for the first several years of my own private practice/self-employment journey.
Then I went from zero to waitlist in 3 months...
Without working myself to the bone or doing anything that felt out of integrity to who I am as a person.
And now I want to spare you those hard years, and help you get where you want to be more quickly.
Did you watch the video above?
If not, you missed the embarrassing story about how naive I was when I set up my first practice in 2000:
I'd just finished my training at The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration. I trained in this work because it had saved me after a lifetime (literally) of chronic pain.
In other words, I was a convert to Rolfing because it had been so powerful for me.
I knew how literally magical this work could be, so all I would have to do is to complete my training, get licensed, and then help all those people in need right?
Then I had a truly great idea: What if, right after I finished my training, I left the city where I knew a lot of people who were excited to refer to me (Boston) to move somewhere where I knew no one, didn’t have a place to live or a job (Napa).
Why would you do this Brooke?
I was 26, cut me some slack...
As I packed up all of my things into a tiny storage cube that would be driven across the country, I decided that I would bring my GIANT MASSAGE TABLE as checked oversize luggage.
I honestly figured I couldn’t wait the 2 weeks it would take to have my massage table driven across the country.
Because people who didn’t know I existed (or what the hell Rolfing was) would be lined up to greet me at the airport, right? Right!?!
Cue the beginning of 3 hard years in Napa learning what it was like to grow a practice from nothing, and to trying and support myself as a self-employed person...
Change was rolled to pay rent. Peanut butter-on-spoon was eaten for dinner...
Then I decided hey, I’ll start from scratch in another city where I don’t know a single soul (Brooklyn).
It’s super inexpensive and easy to live in NYC right? What could go wrong!?
Cue months of bruised and aching feet working $8/hour retail in Soho while trying to land a temp job serving Wall Street bros.
I had my nadir moment. It forced me to get visible. I grew my practice in Brooklyn in a few short months after that.
And when, 6 years later, family needs meant I had to pick up again and move to New Haven- and start all over again in yet another city where I knew no one - I had actually figured a few things out! I was ready to put them to use.
I’ve been in practice in New Haven for 15 years now. The stability has been lovely, but it’s also meant I had a chance to learn about the long-term sustainability practices a business needs. All the fine-tuning outside of the exciting “launch a new practice” stage.
That’s right, I’m talking about money.
Ever been fully booked and still can’t manage to pay your bills?
Ever gotten those surprising tax bills? Or sick with the flu when your business checking account has $30 in it?
I feel you!
I had to learn small business budgeting and systems that would get my income where I wanted it to be to raise my son, buy a home, and take good care of present me and future me (aka, retirement saving).
A SOLID FOUNDATION is what leads to SUCCESS
I stumbled into a lot of self-employment brick walls. And yet, I wouldn’t trade the self-employed private practice life for anything.
Because when you can get your practice set up properly, you have a rare thing - a good job with a great boss (you!) doing work you really care about and that pays you well.
A vanishingly rare thing in the world these days.
You have probably been cobbling together small business resources to try and figure out what you need to have a solid foundation under your feet.
Small business and marketing education is, of course, sprinkled around everywhere on the interwebs, but most small business education also tends to be a poor fit for people who have a private practice in the healing arts.
So if you want to get everything set up and running smoothly for your practice without bumping into the same brick walls I, and so many of us have...
Let me prune away the unnecessary things and help you keep it simple while setting yourself up for success.

THIS IS A DIGITAL PROGRAM
I know that what you really want to spend your time on is helping your clients and living your life!
HAPI is designed without the noise and hoopla of most other small business related courses.
There are no live calls you need to fit into your schedule, no “community feeds” (aka, private Facebook group, etc) that you have to keep up with, or any other laborious demands on your time.
To keep it simple, we need to cut the clutter and get to the important stuff, so that you can focus on what you actually care about- your life!
HAPI FROM HOME, FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, AND ON YOUR SCHEDULE
You can complete the course lessons from the comfort of your couch or kitchen table, as long as you have an Internet connection.
The entire program is completely digital, so you can access it from anywhere through our private course portal.
And you'll never miss a beat: you can go at your own pace and do the lessons on your schedule.
HAPI FROM HOME, FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, AND ON YOUR SCHEDULE
TIME COMMITMENT
Everyone is busy. I get it. It’s also hard to know how to tackle a go-at-your-own pace course without some time parameters.
So here goes!
If you can carve out just one hour a week - about 12 minutes a day (with weekends off) - you will be through this course with all your systems set up in less than 8 weeks.
You have lifetime access to the course to tweak your outreach approaches and income goals, but to get you off and running, we’re talking about a very minimal time spent for some pretty maximal results for the lifetime of your practice.
OK, MAYBE I’LL GET STARTED LATER WHEN I’M LESS BUSY…
Folks, we’ve all had this thought.
Getting married? New puppy? Planning a move? Behind on your dentist visits lol?
Modern life = busy.
If I had a magic wand, our lives would not be so frantic, but that is beyond the scope of this course.
What is within the scope of this course however, is to get you set up for success with minimal headaches.
You can stumble into brick walls of, “Dang I didn’t see that coming!” for years like I did, or you can gift yourself the know-how you need now, so that you know how to build a solid practice- one that takes really good care of you!- no matter how busy life is.
People who are trained/licensed/certified practitioners within the healing arts fields. For example: massage therapists & bodyworkers, Naturopathic physicians, acupuncturists, movement educators, etc, etc.
People who are ready to take their private practice seriously as a business. Hobbies are fantastic and nourishing (I love my hobbies), but our practices are not side hobbies!
People who are ready to take good care of themselves financially. No. More. Money. Fog.
People who are game for an online go-at-your-own-pace course.
(Speaking really frankly here…) Social media wellness influencers who have a lot of opinions about health and healing, but are not trained/licensed/certified practitioners within the healing arts fields.
People who are looking to monetize an “audience”.
People who get really overwhelmed by technology and are not game for an online course.
People who believe noble = poverty, and are not willing to work out the mindset kinks that are keeping them from taking good care of themselves financially.
Imagine having a healing arts practice that provides for you in every way... long into the future. What would that do for you (and those around you) personally and financially?
I’m in your field too. I’ve raised a child on my own with the income from my private practice.
So I get it that $697 is not a small chunk of change when you are trying to get solid ground under your feet.
I'm telling you (and maybe you’ve already seen it for yourself), in this space - that of the online courses and coaching for small business owners - usually offerings like this are priced between $2000 and $15,000 (actual numbers of actual programs).
I've priced HAPI lower not because it is lower in value than other business marketing/earning/coaching programs (it's much higher value because it's for you, the healing arts provider in private practice, and not for any old generic business), but because I want to make it affordable for you, while also honoring the 24 years of experience that went into creating this.
Realistically, you can earn this back in one week (or less) of seeing clients - that’s a pretty unheard of fast return on investment in the business world.
And because I’m not teaching you trendy gimmicks, but instead tried and true small business know-how, with the investment in HAPI you will have the skills to keep earning well for the lifetime of your business. In other words, HAPI has a lot of longevity built into it.

Don't Forget That You're Backed by my 10-Day, Money Back Guarantee
If, within the first 10 days, you decide that HAPI isn't the right fit for you or your business, you can request a full refund.
So, there's nothing to risk and everything to gain!
You will get access to the whole world of HAPI within 5 to 15 minutes of your purchase. Please look for an email from "Brooke Thomas / Simple Prospering" with the subject line "????"
This course is asynchronous- meaning that it is recorded and available for you to go through it at your own pace.
This course is also completely digital so you can access it from anywhere through our private course portal. You can complete the course lessons from the comfort of your couch or kitchen table, as long as you have an Internet connection.
One-on-one coaching sessions are not included. However! The incubator does include a private podcast Q&A feed as an asynchronous coach-in-your-pocket resource.
If you have a question - just ask via email and you will see it pop up on the podcast in a week or two. All episodes address one question each, making it an easy to navigate resource. (much easier than watching 90 minute Zoom recordings of Q&A sessions).
Support is also included via our quarterly get-it-done co-working sessions. Just show up and work on the theme for that quarter within a group online. While this isn't a workshop or Q&A event, for many people having the co-working group functions as a collaborative accountability and motivation tool.
The honest answer is, it depends on you and your current situation. If you are feeling highly motivated and have time you can set aside to go through the material regularly, you can be putting things into place very quickly - even within the first week.
Others might take a few months to slowly digest the information before putting the systems and processes into place.
There's no rush and no right or wrong amount of time, because you have lifetime access to the course materials. However, you have one year of access to the quarterly co-working events. This is by design so that you will feel motivated to get things done and in place within a year (so that the course doesn't just gather digital dust...)
All that said, if you can dedicate an hour a week to implementing HAPI, you can get through the course material in less than 2 months.
Because of the nature of digital courses and the fact that you get instant access to all of the course materials, I offer a limited time window of 10 days for refunds.
If you purchase HAPI and in the first 10 days you can see that it’s not the right fit for you, just drop us an email and we'll refund you in full, no questions asked.
Yep! If you can’t pay all at once, or just want to be mindful of your cash flow, you can pay over 6-monthly installments (first payment due on purchase).
Please note that this is a payment plan and you are 100% responsible for completing ALL of your payments - it is NOT a membership that can be cancelled at any time (unless you are within our 10-day refund period).
Hi, I’m Brooke Thomas. Since 2009 I've helped healing arts practitioners of all stripes, all over the world, to give up on giving up and grow a full time thriving practice instead. I'm known for my high integrity, low hype teaching style mixed with some New Englander sarcasm.
~ I am not a slick marketing or business coach. I am one of you, practicing in the healing arts as a Rolfer for 24+ years.
~ I have grown a practice in 3 cities from zero to waitlist during that time. With those first 3 years looking more like zero, zero, zero (in other words, I don't have a natural gift, I learned at the school of hard knocks).
~ My design skills are courtesy of my BFA from Rhode Island School of Design. It took me a long while to figure out I could combine my design work with my work supporting healing arts practices but hey, slow learners need love too.
~ My financial thinking is courtesy of my training as a Financial Recovery Counselor. And... also the school of hard knocks. (Giant surprise tax bills anyone? Complete lack of savings to take a sick day? Been there.)
~ I ran the Liberated Body/Liberated Being podcast which highlighted the healing arts, particularly in manual and movement therapies. Maybe you found me there- hi! So glad to be reunited.
I like putting all of my skills together to make good things happen for good people.
Let’s go!
