Скачать или смотреть Only Make Them Half Better? (The Truth About Client Retention)

When I first started out as a massage therapist, I was struggling to keep clients.
I’d get a few new people start at once, they’d feel better… and then they’d disappear.
My diary would empty just as quickly as it filled.

Everything changed after a conversation I had with an older acupuncturist over green tea in a small Chinese restaurant. He was fully booked — eight clients a day — with no website, no advertising, and no social media. What he said to me that day stayed with me for years and completely changed how I view this work.

In this video, I share that story and explain why, especially early on, your job isn’t healing — it’s trust-building.

We talk about:
• Why good therapists still struggle to retain clients
• How trust keeps people coming back long enough for real change to happen
• Why rushing to “fix” people often empties your diary
• How to build towards 24 clients a week (six a day, over four days) without burnout
• Simple, practical ways to create safety, continuity, and confidence in your treatment room

This isn’t about gimmicks, funnels, or running ads.
It’s about showing up, being present, and building a practice that grows quietly and sustainably over time.

If you’re early in your career, rebuilding, or feeling stuck in a cycle of short-term clients, this video is for you.

Take a breath… and let’s talk about what really fills a diary.
