key-to-a-thriving-practice

Do you remember the day you booked your first full day of hypnotherapy clients? You had no idea how it happened. You did session after session and at the end of the day, you felt both satisfied and confused. How could you replicate your big success?


There's something invigorating about building your private practice — especially if you can find success in doing so. And success doesn’t have to be a mystery. You can learn to grow your private practice with confidence and ease. All you need is a solid plan.

There are three essential keys to thriving as a hypnotherapist — and an entrepreneur.

Key #1: Build Your Hypnotherapy Practice Website

In the digital era, everyone has a website. But to succeed as a hypnotherapist, you don’t need just any website. You need a website that is going to convert potential clients into paying clients.

Your website is your first point of contact with most potential clients. And you only get one shot to make a really good first impression. So it’s important that you have a beautiful, modern, clean website that represents you and the great healing work you offer in a clear and concise way.

Your website should include:


  • Compelling copy about the services you offer.
  • A way for you to capture email addresses (to grow your email list).
  • A simple way for clients to schedule sessions with you right on your site.

Without these, your website will work against you, not for you.

In addition to practicing hypnotherapy, I’m also an entrepreneur and web designer with over 10 years of business development experience. Here are some hypnotherapy practice websites I created for our Wellness community members, each of which includes these three key elements:



Key #2: Create Your Hypnotherapy Marketing Strategy

Most healers are really good at just that: healing. But when it comes to marketing, most healers shy away from the idea.

But to build a thriving private practice, you need to be good at both healing and the business of healing. Your marketing strategy is how you get the attention of potential clients and convert them into paying clients.

As a hypnotherapist and entrepreneur myself, I suggest creating a content marketing strategy. The easiest way to do this is to start blogging and sharing your blog posts on social media, with your email contacts, and through other online publications. I recently sent an email out to my contact list showcasing my new HypnoSpace offering. The email received a 61.5% open rate, a 15.4% click rate, and a 10% conversion rate for sales. Amazing!

Key #3: Do Your Own Hypnotherapy Work

Where are you most emotionally stuck in your life? Do you struggle with self-doubt and anxiety? Are you chronically finding yourself in the middle of relationship drama with your significant other? Do you have a hard time setting and maintaining boundaries?

When you are emotionally stuck, it will ripple into all aspects of your life — including your business. Before you can experience living the highest vision for your life, and that includes a thriving private practice, it’s important to identify and address your biggest emotional burden.

Hypnotherapy is the most efficient way to release your emotional baggage and step into the light of the life you are supposed to lead.


In Summary: The Three Keys to a Successful Private Hypnotherapy Practice

Whether you realize it or not, as a therapist, you are also an entrepreneur. And as an entrepreneur, it’s essential that you have:


  1. A clear and modern website that converts traffic into clients.
  2. A well thought-out marketing strategy to bring traffic to your website.
  3. A way to release your emotional baggage, heal, and transform to be as successful as possible in all aspects of your life, including your private hypnotherapy practice.
