Chanel is a very good example on how we can incorporate our gifts in our practice and make a very big impact in the world of our clients. Her countless work in the spirituality side has led to her working full-time on her business. But aside from her strong desire to connect with clients on a different level and go beyond the standard modality of treatment, what pushed her transition from working for someone else to working on her own business?

In this episode, we’ll hear from a proud alumni of the Dope Therapist Academy and current student of the Elite Coaching Mastermind. Listen as she shares her journey from her early days in the mental health field to finally pursuing her own private practice to reach her ideal clients and take her business to the next level of abundance.
