A brief update for now. Very big progress on The Good Life Clinic. I have started the Mind-Body Skills Groups series on 1/2/23. I was successful in recruiting 10 participants, and that feels like a big win after lots of work. It will run through January and February. I would like to plan other groups during this time while that first one is running. I continue to work 3 (half) days a week at the clinic, and it feels like my full capacity to do that for now.

I have my “The Good Life Clinic” Facebook page which I have also used for updates on this project. I imagine making a website is in my future. This WordPress blog is kind of doing that for now. I would love to have something written up to describe the work that I do with people one-on-one. It’s not medical care, it’s “health coach”. It is Subtle Medicine work. It is listening, and it is paid by the hour. What is my rate? Is okay to be on a gift economy sliding scale? Yes. Is okay to charge $100/hour? Yes. That feels good. Would it be okay to increase my rates to $150, or even up to $300? Perhaps in time. But $100 feels groovy for now.

I’m going to a physician wellness retreat in San Diego this weekend that is being hosted by 2 doctors from the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine (AIHM). “Heal the Healer” is what they’ve called it, and it includes emotional and spiritual work, yoga, poetry, a cacao circle and dancing. Right up my alley. I am curious who I will meet by going to this event? That’s all for now.
