TESTIMONIALS
BUSINESS
CONSULTING
Like
most acupuncturists, I began my practice with no business
background or skills. Over the years I sought out help
from a number of sources, from very inexpensive classes
at the local community college to very expensive professional
practice management services . All of these were worthwhile.
But the "return on investment" that Carola
has delivered with our regularly scheduled telephone
consultations is unsurpassed. Carola is an an incredibly
generous, caring, ethical, and knowledgeable ally. For
the cost of an acupuncture treatment, she will diagnosis
where your practice is stuck and help you transform
it into the practice you want and deserve. What are
you waiting for?! Carola is a treasure. Check her out!

SEMINARS
As
a new practitioner it is invaluable to have a guide.
I am leaving today with a plan and the resources to
implement my plan. Thank you so much!
Heather, LAc
Carola had the seminar very well organized and kept
us on track! She conveyed a lot of info in a short time!
I wish I got this much out of my full term of business
class in my Master’s Program!
M.H., LAc.
This was a really wonderful, uplifting seminar. I really
appreciated all of the time and energy it took to create
your multiple resource pages and outline. This seminar
has filled me with a lot of potential ideas in how to
fill out my practice. You're very organized and I liked
your time management style of presentation.
Julie Hamilton, LAc.
The information is a concise brilliant compilation of
relevant material presented in an efficient manner addressing
the universal needs of the student to experienced practitioner.
Dessa Bingley, Student
Carola’s seminar was insightful, practical, well
organized and complete. I have little business background
and have been overwhelmed by the tasks ahead of me.
This seminar has given me the foundation I need to move
forward. The resources provided alone are incredibly
valuable. Thank you so much!
L.D.
Carola
has done an amazing amount of research. I wish this
class was offered 10 years ago when I graduated!
J.D., LAc
This
seminar gave me a wealth of information that I either
did not receive during my training or did not digest.
Lisa, LAc
I
absolutely walked out of the seminar with a renewed
sense of inspiration/motivation/hope for my practice.
I appreciate Carola sharing all of this hard-earned
knowledge. Thank You!
Rebecca, LAc
This
seminar was great. It has really inspired me and motivated
me to have a better focus on my practice. The resources
Carola gave out were priceless!
Jen Conserti, LAc
Very
good topics which we face in practice regularly. Excellent
resource list and practical experience.
Jeiyi Zhang, ND., LAc
I
felt this seminar was incredibly useful. I really appreciated
the wide variety of resources offered and the generosity
in sharing information. Carola is concise in conveying
information. It is very good nuts and bolts information
and succeeds in the goals she outlined in her seminar
advertisement. It really is motivating!
VA, LAc
I’m
so glad that I attended this workshop! I’ve been
avoiding thinking about the future in terms of business.
This exposure to real-life experience of running a practice
was hugely important to the beginning of my process
as a student. I feel much better prepared now! About
half way through the seminar it dawned on me that I’m
actually going to need this information and that I’m
so grateful that it has been provided. Totally awesome
workshop! Thank you so much!
Acupuncture Student
Should
be part of all OCOM/Acupuncture education for all students!
Informative, stimulating, honest & heartfelt. Realistic
& specific, Invaluable!
Keri Brenner
Carola
has emerged as the definitive voice in practice building
and development. A whole-hearted thumbs up for all invested
in the best in practice management of success. Carola
offers excellent business and organizational still combined
with a compassionate heart.
LAc
I
walked away with a new image of myself (as an entrepreneur),
an invaluable list of business resources and action
plans that I can do. Thank you Carola for sharing your
wisdom and business know-how.
LAc
Thank
you for your generous spirit and sharing all your nuggets
and resources. I cannot thank you enough. You are an
inspiration in how to be both an Acupuncturist and a
savvy business woman!
LAc
I
got a phenomenal education in Chinese Medicine which
prepared me well to treat patients successfully. However,
my graduate education did not prepare me to find patients,
keep patients, track patient progress, or simply put
to run a successful business. Carola’s one day
workshop should be expanded to a year long course in
the TCM masters programs across the country!
Elie C, LAc
"Finally!
The information that all Acupuncturists have longed
for while we were students! Carola has put together
some the most valuable information on how to succeed
as an Acupuncturist, and has presented it in a way that
makes me feel empowered to do it. She addressed the
issues that for me are the most daunting - and most
crucial - to tackle. Thank you!"
M.C., LAc
"Carola's class was well worth the drive from Bend.
Her range of knowledge, experience, and passion for
the profession were impressive. The vitality with which
she presented it made sitting inside on a beautiful
day painless."
Andrew Scott, LAc
"This seminar was packed with practical practice
building gems and loads of resources! Any student of
Traditional Chinese Medicine would be years ahead of
the game if they were given this wealth of information
early on in their education. I feel confident this seminar
will help me transition to a new and vibrant model of
healthcare! Thanks Carola!"
K.O., LAc
"This
seminar is just what I needed! Carola Stepper, LAc blew
me away. I was so impressed with how thorough and detailed
it was. Her challenge was to address each aspect of
developing a successful Acupuncture practice while challenging
us to commit on paper to our own plan of action. It
was inspiring and pro-active. She not only covered everything
from clarifying our purpose, style of business, practice,
marketing plans and goals, but also how to diligently
take care of our clients while protecting ourselves.
Lastly, the resources she shared and how she personally
and successfully handled her own affairs from her years
of experience and professional development."
Kim K Finley
I
appreciate Carola Stepper’s business knowledge
and know how. It’s clear that Carola’s mistakes
and successes have taught her how to run a successful
practice. In her seminar, she generously shares the
lessons she has learned and gives many practical tools
and simple resources. I encourage acupuncturists to
take this seminar and with Carola’s guidance to
begin mapping out systems which will empower their business
to grow.
Jason Stein, L.Ac.
Thank
you very much for sharing all your experience &
resources.
CW, L.Ac.
I
recommend Cascade Acupuncture Seminars for students
as well as practitioners who have been in practice for
many years. The seminar was helpful for me in suggesting
ways to take a fresh look at my practice and gave many
suggestions about how to improve my practice. Honestly,
I have mostly thought of my practice in terms of patient’s
needs. After this course, I know I need to think of
it also as a sustainable business.
Anita Shelton, L.Ac.
Carola
is an exciting motivator. This seminar leaves me, as
a student, feeling focused, organized, and filled with
a realistic enthusiasm to begin making my mark on the
community. Feeling inspired is an understatement.
Paul
Well
structured, clear & directional- this seminar provides
a great jumping off point for any new practitioner as
well as great reminders & refreshers to established
practitioners. Definitely worth the time.
MV L.Ac.
Refresh
what I did for my practice. A lot of great resources
I can utilize. Great tool I can apply to my practice.
Chen-Ying Huang, L.Ac., DAOM
This
class was extremely motivational & full of useful
& practical information and resources. I’m
looking forward to beginning to plan & implement
many of the ideas which were presented in my own practice.
I wish I had taken this class years ago when I first
began my Acupuncture practice. Thank you Carola!
Katherine Davies, MTCM, L.Ac.
Carola
is very good at what she does.
Anita Tadavarthy, MAOM, L.Ac.
As
a student who will graduate in about 31/2 months, this
was the perfect time to get Carola’s seminar information.
This seminar really puts all the pieces together and
I now feel I have a direction to go in with a plan for
after I graduate. The resources and gems she gives are
so valuable. I highly recommend this seminar for students,
and am so glad I attended.
Jessica
Tatieze
I
highly recommend this seminar to all Acupuncture and
Chinese Medicine students and to graduates wanting to
improve their practice.
Beth
Jacobi, L.Ac.
There
is so much useful-fabulous info. I can’t stop writing
everything down. Extremely well organized. The scheduled
breaks are much appreciated. All info covered is practical,
easily implemented & easily understood. Action steps
engage attendee in the moment, while concepts are fresh.
What is the immediate thought? Writing it down to raise
awareness, this increases the level of commitment by
the practitioner. Ingenious!
Chia Chia
Students:
This course is equally important as coursework. Attention
to the business end of our practice releases our attention
to caring for the people who come to us for help. I
am assured by the preparation and resources. This was
well worth the time parted from studies.
NCNM
Student
So
much great information. I feel a renewed excitement
about my practice.
Nicholas
La Puma Jr. L.Ac.
Very
Informative, realistic and carefully planned. Carola
speaks from true experience and inspiration. She gave
all of herself and clearly her true self.
Kileen,
OCOM Student
The
written materials and resources alone are worth the
price of the seminar. Carola’s expertise and insights
are icing on the cake.
