What do I do now?

Your tutor should have covered this whilst learning, have you studied ITEC Business and Professional Conduct ... this is part of the practitioners "Diploma" ? When costing treatments there are various aspects you will need to take into consideration. *your time *how much various materials cost *how much overheads cost (lighting, heating, rent, rates) *how many treatments you will be doing each week/month *how much other therapists are charging in your area *how much profit you would like to make .... the mark-up on each treatment Good pricing is all about balancing .... mark up to cover your over-heads and to enjoy a profit. Word of mouth is your best advertisment .... round up friends and family to advertise for you initially. Get your face/name known (Business Card/Leaflets needed !!) at a few Pamper Eves, schools, clubs and retirement premises hold these occasionally. Once you are known to frequent Pamper Evenings you should begin to build slowly. Also try voluntary work (hospitals/elderly) ... hard I know but fantastic practice and networking. Though it takes much hard work and dedication ... normally a year or two to build as a Therapist. I always tell my students get qualified in 2 or 3 therapies you cannot earn on a living in just one alone. Hope this helps. Terie Hopkins
