Entrepreneurs bringing business education to health and wellness practitioners

Arlington, MA— July 12, 2011 — You are an integrative health practitioner, an acupuncturist, a yoga instructor, a massage therapist, naturopath, or health coach. You help others, and are an expert in your field, having studied and worked hard to develop your practice.  However, a practice involves business know-how.  Entrepreneurs, Cynthia Pasciuto  of True North Business Consulting and Laura Greer of Mandala Services have formed the Institute of Integrative Business Studies to provide online business education to health and wellness practitioners.

Cynthia and Laura are not newcomers to the health and wellness field.  Cynthia has taught at the local acupuncture school along with teaching at the undergraduate level.  Laura has helped practitioners start, grow and manage thriving health and wellness practices, has worked for yoga studios and has been a yoga instructor for over ten years. They both noticed there was a need for business knowledge often being asked for advice on social media, marketing, management and legal assistance. They wanted the health and wellness practitioners to succeed.

The Institute of Integrative Business Studies? is launching The Integrative Business Program?, a series of online seminars aimed at helping integrative health practitioners learn what it takes to start, maintain and grow a successful practice.  The objective of the Integrative Business Program? is to educate integrative health practitioners in order to improve their chances for success and to increase the accessibility of qualified practitioners available to the consumer. The program teaches participants crucial business and practice management principles in the areas of Patient & Clinical Management, Marketing & Public Relations, Accounting, Insurance and Finance, and Business Law.

The Integrative Business Program? consists of a number of courses that run for a length of -6 weeks each.  Weekly online sessions are 1 hour in length and each course is taught by an expert in the topic.

Courses start in September. Sign up today for a free introductory webinar on Tuesday, August 30^th- Jumpstart Your Business: Top Ten Things You Need to Know!  Sign up for the free webinar at http://www.integrativebusinessstudies.com/jumpstart

The Institute of Integrative Business Studies?, where holistic health and business practices meet, is sponsored by the Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine Association of Massachusetts and The National Institute of Whole Health.

Finding Your True North in Business and Beyond empowers small business owners, especially health and wellness practitioners, to improve the “business side” of their business.

Cynthia Pasciuto of True North Business Consulting interviews Amanda Vogel of Active Voice on the profession of fitness writing, digital & print.

I manage a few different blogs, and I am no where near a professional writer or creative with the pen (keyboard).  That being the case I often find getting creative with my blog somewhat difficult.

Because of my above mentioned handicap it would be most easy to simply dump the blog idea altogether. But, I’m told that would be the wrong move by every internet marketer alive.  I also find the specific blogs a simple location to address specific ideas, changes, or issues with our various fitness industry programs.

So, being the resourceful guy I am… oops, that’s a different story.  Today I was fortunate to take a look at one of my RSS feeds at just the right time on small business that happened to give a mention to a company with a cool blogging content assistance program.

I was quickly on my way to check out Zemanta.

No affiliate relationship or commission here.  I was just so impressed with some of the features in this tool, which I could easily add as a FireFox add-on, that I want to mention it to the Fit Pros who keep track of things we have going on…. This also makes great worthwhile content for me in making a blog post.      I’m using it on this post and tried it first at our nutrition solution blog site.

Zemanta is a tool that looks over your shoulder while you blog and gives you tips and advice, suggests related content and pictures and makes sure your posts get promoted as they deserve to be…

(From Zemanta) YOUR kind of Assistant…

Zemanta bloggers all get a great tool to help them create content and drive inbound traffic. But, we know that every blogger is different, so there are different ways you can use Zemanta, depending on your styles and interests. If you don’t see your area of interest bellow, drop us an email and let us know how you want to use Zemanta.
