Mentoring Client Service Agreement

Introduction

Gill Stannard (ABN 77 091 861 763).

I am a naturopath and mentor with more than 30 years in practice, supporting health professionals and entrepreneurs to grow a business they love.

I established a successful multidisciplinary clinic in the Melbourne CBD on graduating in the early 1990s, running it for 23 years before relocating to Sydney.

As one of the first naturopaths in Australia to formally offer both business mentoring and professional supervision, while remaining in clinical practice, I have comprehensive business and clinical knowledge and have thrived in an ever-changing market. I am an earlier adopter of online business and experienced in many aspects of the small business management – from home-based to a commercial, multi-practitioner practice.

Suitability

I work with health practitioners and small business owners, who want a career in alignment with their values, and pursue an authentic and fulfilling way of working.

Naturopaths, nutritionists and herbalists can also access professional supervision, to improve prescribing and case management.

I work with emerging, mid-career and late career practitioners and entrepreneurs.

Intention

My approach is heart-centred, individualised and practical, to help you create or reshape YOUR business, not a carbon copy of someone else’s in your field.

Exploratory mentoring sessions focus on where you are currently at in your business, strengths, weaknesses, dreams and aims. If time permits, it may include problem identification and steps to solving them. After the session, you will receive a written report and steps you can initially take to grow or redefine your business.

Ongoing or one off sessions (after the initial exploratory) focus on meeting your goals. This may include practical support in growing or reshaping your business, improving client attraction and retention, authentic ways of promoting your enterprise, improving business (and clinical) competence, confidence, holistic business skills and self-care.

I have created unique processes such as skills audits, procedures and clarifying boundaries.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact:

Gill Stannard
Email: coaching@gillstannard.com.au

All my services and goods are offered in compliance with Australian Consumer Law.
