"Bethany is inspiring, generous, gracious, and full of wisdom. Her content is illuminating. Be prepared to grow new neurons! I am a seasoned therapist who left a successful practice behind in another state. I found her class to be transformative on how to do this again with more focused purpose and efficiency.”

"This course helped jump start my confidence in marketing my new private practice. The small group environment and interactive, workshopping platform allowed me to think out loud and begin to craft marketing content that I can put into action going forward. This isn't just any old marketing, business course - Bethany's approach to marketing is underpinned by social work principles and commitment to ethical, anti-oppressive practice - which makes all the difference to me as I build my business. Highly recommend.”
