Praise

“My new business partner and I listened to the summit. Thank you so much for putting it on. There was some wonderful information there and we really appreciated hearing about all of the different business models. It was so incredibly helpful. The work you have done has made our lives so much easier!”

— Laura

“Thank you both for putting this tremendous summit together. I listened to almost every speaker. I found it very helpful to have a wide variety of practitioners and different practice models; it was wonderful to hear the trials/tribulations and what is working/not working for the different practitioners. I found the summit very inspirational. Can’t thank you enough.”

— Tamara

“I’ve heard a lot of summits over the past year and this one has the most practical and useful information which is why I plan to buy it! I’m a psychiatrist currently at a very conventional setting but my heart is leading me to a more holistic integrative type of practice. My hope is to try to transition to a private direct pay holistic practice but I truly have no idea where to start in regards to training, business set up, etc. Your summit has been a great beginning.”

— Neil

“Listening to this compilation of honest, down-to-earth interviews where all involved shared their realistic and authentic experiences in order for us to learn and get a head start with our own practices, grounded me solidly, and confirmed that I am on the right track, and will persevere. I can do this! A powerful message for me personally!”

— Kirsten

“SO wish I had known a fraction of this 30 years ago. My work life would have been dramatically different. I have spent so long treading water and being inefficient with my time. Guess I just need to look at that as preparation for launching now! You two are a dynamic duo — I see why you are friends/colleagues. What a team! The summit was like finding an oasis in the desert!”

INTRODUCING YOUR HOSTS

Julia Zaslow, NC

Welcome! I’m Julia Zaslow, a passionate advocate for holistic health. I believe we can change the course of healthcare in America by becoming better practitioners and savvier business people. Together, our collective impact can be enormous. But if we struggle to find our way, or play small, we’re missing out on a huge opportunity to change people’s lives.

I combine my diverse training in science, technology, nutrition, business and marketing to coach and mentor holistic health professionals on how to become more successful — on their own terms and in alignment with their core values — using powerful and ethical sales and marketing strategies. My specialty is helping practitioners to create and launch their first online educational products and programs through strategic partnerships.

Miriam Zacharias, MS, LPSN

Hi! I’m Miriam Zacharias and grateful that you’re here. I’m on a mission to create an army of wildly successful holistic, functional and integrative health care professionals in our country. Winning in today’s burgeoning holistic health care market takes creativity and persistence. The best approach is to learn from those who have cleared the hurdles and are hitting their stride; we can’t wait to share their secrets with you in our summit!

I’m an author, teacher, coach and speaker for the holistic health market. I find joy teaching conscious marketing methods and coaching existing clinicians and companies on building powerful go-to-market plans. My goal is to provide practitioners with a step-by-step approach that makes practice-building simple, powerful and delivers both personal and financial success.

Julia and Miriam created The Prosperous Practitioner Summit with the intention of helping holistic, functional and integrative practitioners flourish.

Our experts will help you build a profitable practice, rediscover the joy in your work, and make a meaningful impact on the health and wellbeing of your patients and clients.
