74 | The Lactation Client Journey Inside Private Practice

Are you just starting out in private practice (or maybe you are just curious and want a sneak peek behind the scenes of our business)?

Well, either way, we are going to explain how our client journey unfolds.

Running a lactation private practice is stressful and challenging but it’s also joyful and fulfilling. You can’t have the good without the bad.

In this episode, we discuss how we handle our first client interaction, how we set expectations, and how we deal with those challenging clients.

“Whether you imagine the worst case scenario or the best case scenario, both of them are your imagination”

In this episode, we will cover:

Managing client expectations (5:09)Setting your clients up for success in the very first session (6:48)Taking a client-centered approach (14:07)How to handle when things don’t go as expected (19:42)
