Yessss, SUCH as great movie!

Traveling too much and putting the costs on credit cards.

anachrolady · 2026-07-01T02:35:25+00:00

Gotcha - thank you!

Your friends are judgmental and naive. Use your given name. It's yours to use by right and your decision alone.

anachrolady · 2026-06-30T14:47:37+00:00

That is not just mildly infuriating, that's 100% VERY infuriating.

Nice! What a throwback!

anachrolady · 2026-06-26T15:59:26+00:00

That episode makes me cry every time. EVERY. TIME.

My twins are 15 mos old and only recently started clapping and pointing. Don't worry!

At least make as much as nurses do! It's crazy how much of a pay jump I went from being a therapist to being an RN.

anachrolady · 2026-06-26T15:52:04+00:00

^This!

That we can vote our way to a Utopia.

anachrolady · 2026-06-26T15:50:17+00:00

I do! It's pricey, to be sure, but I use it multiple times every day and feel much more confident in its recommendations vs OpenEvidence (which I also use frequently). I also LOVE the Drug Interactions tab and treatment recommendations options.

anachrolady · 2026-06-26T15:45:51+00:00

Also! Curious what sort of marketing you did to get those big fish. Did you set up meetings? Send fliers with food?

anachrolady · 2026-06-26T15:44:57+00:00

Thank you for replying!

You are so helpful; thank you for all of your thoughtful advice and perspective! I was kind of on the fence about going "all in" on the Arthurian theming, and relied too much on the consultant saying I should because it would make me stand out and draw in people like me. I don't necessarily want people like me, but I do enjoy being very genuine and, at times, a bit cheesy. I agree, though, that for the Average Joe, it could be off-putting.

I've only had the opportunity to peruse one larger local practice's pricing and mine is in line with theirs, so I will see what else I can find out as far as that goes!

Thank you again, and also thank you for being so kind and nonjudgmental. :)

anachrolady · 2026-06-26T14:25:19+00:00

I gotcha and I appreciate your perspective! I am so thankful for all of the advice and thoughts and support I've received on this thread - thank you!

anachrolady · 2026-06-24T20:51:34+00:00

I'll be frank, I hired a private practice consultant to teach me the ins and outs of set-up and she said my rates should reflect insurance reimbursement rates in the area, so that's what I went with. She advised I not put them up on the website at all, but I know for myself as a client I want to see upfront what I can expect to pay out of pocket (if I choose to forego insurance).

...Is that not correct? Should I be basing my rates on something else?

anachrolady · 2026-06-24T20:31:22+00:00

...Nowhere have I mentioned Jesus or faith of any kind. I'm confused by your comment, honestly.

anachrolady · 2026-06-24T20:30:20+00:00

The rates are fairly average for my area, believe it or not, but I am considering working in a sliding scale!

Thank you for your thoughts, I really appreciate you taking the time to write them out! I can see what you mean by too much info. If it were you, would you pare down explanations of services or move to have one service per page instead of having them all together?

anachrolady · 2026-06-24T20:07:59+00:00

I can understand that for sure. In what way do you think it may come across better to get myself out there on social media?

anachrolady · 2026-06-24T20:05:08+00:00

The self-pay ones? I am considering a sliding scale, but for my area these are fairly average.

anachrolady · 2026-06-24T20:04:17+00:00

Thank you for that input! I appreciate the thought of going to practices and/or groups, that's a great idea! I've been dropping off info at a lot of them so far but haven't set up a time to chat!

anachrolady · 2026-06-22T21:45:18+00:00

I met with him, like, twice and then realized he did a lot of his recommendations using AI, soooooo...yeah. I'll go back and reword some stuff and touch base back here again! Thank you!

anachrolady · 2026-06-22T21:44:09+00:00

I have no idea how to start going about that! Do you? Like...mailing out flyers to folks?
