Business support for heart-centered entrepreneurs

Helping therapists, gig workers, and heart-centered entrepreneurs start their practice/business and grow it with confidence. Navigating the "boring" "scary" stuff, from business structure and taxes to HIPAA and compliance, so you can focus on the work you love.

Where are you on the path?

For health and wellness practices

HIPAA, without the panic.

HIPAA is not about compliance. It's about patient care. If you work with health information, as a therapist, massage therapist, or other wellness provider, chances are you are unknowingly out of step somewhere, usually with email, texting, phones, or where their notes live. The key is to start where you are.

How I help with HIPAA

  • HIPAA basics, built in

    For health and wellness practices, the Start Your Business package helps you choose email, phone, video, notes, and storage tools that fit HIPAA, with business associate agreements in place from day one.

  • A HIPAA check-up

    Already in practice? We review the tools you use, your Notice of Privacy Practices, and your policies, and you leave with a short, prioritized list of fixes.

  • The HIPAA Guide

    A plain-language walk through the Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules, then the practical stuff: email, phones, video, cloud storage, forms, and mobile devices. Third Edition, updated for 2026.

  • New tools, same rules

    Curious about AI note-takers or scheduling assistants? I'll help you sort out which ones are safe for client information and which ones aren't.

The philosophy

Leaning towards joy is step one

  1. Lean towards joy

    The most important step. When you start leaning towards joy, the hurdles seem to disappear and the abundance begins to flow.

  2. Follow your passion

    Inspired action comes from your authentic self. The next step stops feeling strenuous and starts feeling like a stepping stone on your path.

  3. Shine your light

    Your future clients are waiting, and to them you will be a beacon of light. My job is to clear the path so you can shine.

Running Your Practice

Office or Virtual

Should you end your lease and take your practice online for good? The answer lies in how you feel about the question.

Leaning Towards Joy

Invisible String

A children's book we love to read at bedtime, and the web of invisible strings that connects us to every faceless "other" on the street.

Leaning Towards Joy

Dog Days of Summer

August is slow for most practices. On Martha's Vineyard I asked for a yellow piece of sea glass, and the tide brought one in with my birth year engraved on it.
