Starting a career in therapy or coaching takes courage. Many spend years studying, only to find themselves struggling to attract clients, manage finances, and build a sustainable practice.
Here’s the truth: they’re not alone. People like Michelle Staniland are also familiar with these frustrations. She is the co-founder of InsideOut Wellness Academy, who helps others find their footing faster, giving them the skills and confidence they need to succeed.
Michelle and her business partner, Rachael Davies, started their journey much like the students they teach. “We often doubted our path, questioned every decision, and worried about sustaining our practice financially,” they shared.
However, being persistent paid off. Years of learning from top mentors, investing in business strategy, and aligning their values with their goals shaped the foundation of InsideOut Wellness Academy. Today, it is a training hub for therapists, hypnotherapists, and coaches ready to build thriving careers.
