Hey everyone,
If you're a holistic practitioner . . .
Or you know and love holistic 
Practitioners . . .
Could you take 2 minutes to read this
email right now?
I need 15 minutes of your time and the
most blunt and honest opinions you can 
muster.
And I want to give you three very cool 
rewards for it.
But there's only 100 spaces and this
email will be going out to well over
a thousand people on my list and others.
What's it about?
Well . . .
Have you ever had a horrible experience 
with a holistic practitioner?
Can we talk?
You may or may not know - but about 
half of the people who come to my 
events are holistic practitioners.
You might even be one of them.
And I'm slowly, but surely, designing 
a product and workshop just for them.
As part of the research, I'm collecting 
Holistic Practitioner Horror stories 
(and success stories too mind you).
Why?
A few reasons:
First: as I'm sure you can appreciate - 
technical skill is not what makes a 
holistic practitioner great. Technical skill 
is sort of a minimum requirement. It's 
the bottom line. 
What makes a practitioner wonderful or 
woeful is how the relate to their clients. 
Some practitioners have a gift of making 
their clients feel empowered, safe and 
clear. Others make their clients feel 
guarded, defensive and disgusted. It's true.
But practitioners don't often receive 
extensive training in 'bedside manner'. 
That's strange given that it's so central 
to the success of their practice.
To make things harder for them, there's a 
complicating factor:
People lie.
It's incredibly, let me emphasize and 
underline INCREDIBLY, rare that a 
holistic practitioner gets honest feedback 
when they do a bad job. Usually, people 
just stop seeing them and disappear. They 
stop returning calls.
I remember going to a yoga class and being 
so annoyed by the teacher's insecurities that 
I never completed the series. A number of 
other students dropped out after that first 
class too.
If you've been through it, it can feel just 
awful, disconcerting and confusing.
"What did I do?!"
I want to collect real stories and examples 
that I can share with practitioners to 
help them understand what their clients 
are REALLY wanting from them. 
Have you had an awful experience?
Have you had an awesome experience?
Would you be willing to take 15 minutes 
to tell me about them?

It's totally anonymous and I ask you not 
to name and names.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
Three things:
First - I will email you all the 
edited version of the feedback I collect.
Second, I will be hosting a one-time-only, 
90 minute call on "The Top Ten Blunders 
Holistic Practitioners Make". 
I'm only doing the call so I can record it. 
I will only be inviting people who 
participate in this survey. I've been 
putting a lot of thought into in and 
couldn't be more excited to share what 
I've been learning (as well as what I'm 
about to learn from the results of this 
survey).
Third - You will get access to a recording 
of this call that you can download onto 
your computer.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO NOW:
Go to the following link and spend 15 
minutes sharing anonymously and as honestly 
as you can about your best (and worst) 
experiences with holistic practitioners.
