I started my own business because I wanted to incorporate all of my education. My background is in marketing. I am also a Massachusetts licensed insurance broker. Prior to attending law school I completed a program in project management. Therefore once I completed law school, passed the bar, I wanted something where I could use all this information. No such job existed, but my friend is an acupuncturist, and she needed help with expanding her business. I was horrified at what I found. I helped her and she sent me a massage therapist. Again, I noticed the same issues.
I saw a need within the health and wellness community, which I could fill. I created a guidebook (The TrueNorth Guidebook for Health & Wellness Practitioners), which contains information about project management, legal, insurance and marketing. I provide education, and teach seminars at the National Whole Health Institute and the New England School of Acupuncture. I also do one on one consulting where most of my consulting is in contracts and lease agreements. Health and wellness practitioners have unique needs, which they need to have met in their contracts.
I also teach Alternative Dispute Resolution at Bentley University.
