What motivated Lauren to start a private speech‑therapy practice?
Starting a private practice isn't what it used to be. Today's clinicians are starting private practices much quicker, easier, and cheaper than before. And they aren't guessing their way through it or getting stuck in analysis paralysis, they're following a tried and true roadmap in order to save time, money, and frustration. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel or struggle to figure out how to start a private practice on your own. We've helped thousands of SLPs and OTs through this process and now we want to help you too. For a limited time, I'm offering a free copy of our private practice roadmap, specifically for SLPs and OTs who are curious about private practice and want to see what the journey looks like.

Now on to the episode Hello and welcome to this episode of the Private Practice Success Stories Podcast. Today I'm going to introduce you to Lauren Glesing. Lauren is a former school SLP turned private practitioner. She started her private practice on the side of her school job, and she actually did that for a couple of years before deciding that she was ready to transition to full time. And Lauren also is one of the mentors for my next level program. Which is called Six Figure Private Practice. You can learn more about that by heading to six figureprivatepractice.com. But that is for established private practitioners who are ready to head to six figures.
Lauren is one of the coaches in that program. And so here's your opportunity to get to know Lauren, hear her story of how she transitioned from school SLP to full-time private practitioner. My name is Jenna Castro Casbon. I am part of a group of private practitioners who have taken client care into our own hands. We are skilled clinicians who pride ourselves on providing high quality care to our clients and their families. We are fighting against productivity requirements, administrative red tape, and unnecessary restrictions. We started our own private practices to take control of our professional and personal lives, of our schedules, of our incomes, of our future. We work hard for our clients, but on our terms.
Ми болів ілпінь арсь. Басо хапь осібсь. We are not interested in competing with each other because we hope we'll all make it. We are successful private practitioners, and these are our stories. All right, so before we dive in, can you please share your name, your location, and the name of your private practice?
Yes, my name is Lauren Blessing. I just got married, so I changed it. Lauren Blessing. I serve the Rochester, Minnesota area. And my private practice name is called Owl Therapy Services, like the animal owl.
I love it. And Lauren and I have become friends over the years. We have not met each other in real life yet, but we will one of these days. But the the cool thing is that although Lauren and I have known each other since your your private practice has started to grow, I actually don't know a ton about the beginning and how you you got started. I know a little bit, but I think that our listeners would like to hear the whole story. So take us back to like maybe your early career. as a speech pathologist, and at what point did you start thinking about private practice?
Well, I Finished grad school and got my first job in South Dakota. I wanted to come back somewhat near home, but a little farther away. And anyone who knows me knows that I'm very type A and very get my own ideas, stubborn, maybe some people would say, but I always felt this pull like there's something else, you know. I always had dreams. I always have these notebooks and I'm always writing down things and But you know, you just think you graduate from grad school and you get a job like everyone else has a job and you just go to your job. And I really didn't like it. So I actually moved. I thought, well, maybe the location, maybe that's what's what's wrong, you know. So I m I moved to Rochester from South Dakota and I started working in the school district.
