Invitation

If you want to manifest a Private Practice in the Healing Arts this course is for you. The comparatively small investment in this course may save you thousands of dollars, years of effort, countless frustrations and disappointments, or all of the above.

To create a private practice in the Healing Arts may not be easy, but it is a step-by-step process. Schools, even universities, do not prepare you for this challenge -- to create your own independent business. It prepares you to be a good employee for the system, willing to work hard, from nine to five or many more hours, in exchange for a check at the end of the month to calm your fears -- quite often at the unacceptable cost of living an inauthentic life.

I (Gian Girardi, BOI founder) consider this course fundamental to BOI's mission and I feel great enthusiasm about it.

We offer our student the gift of freedom -- freedom from the nine to five modern slavery called "having a job". We empower them with a way to make a living doing what they really love, and not just giving them knowledge, skills and certifications.

This course is a combination of classes and business coaching to help the student manifest their private pratice throughout the course itself. From day one the student will need to produce homework that has for purpose materializing his or her vocation and dream in real life.

Below is a list of the knowledge on business and marketing our student acquires throughout this course. But before, I want to invite you to watch this two min, award winning video. It is a beautiful example of how marketing can help to live a better life -- when this powerful tool is used with integrity.
