What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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.

She started her private practice early in her career and specialized in digestive health and IBS. After her services became more in demand and her private practice was filled to capacity, she began creating online programs to serve clients from Canada and even around the world. She started her company, The Leveraged Practice, where she teaches health practitioners how to add online programs to their practice. She and I had gotten to know each other on Instagram, and I wanted to have her on the show to discuss other ways to be in private practice.
In this episode, we discuss how she got started in private practice and why she left, how she builds in work-life balance to reduce burnout and spend more time with her kids and on self-care, why it's important to invest in your business education and not just your clinical education, and more. To hear Stephanie's full story, stay tuned. I'm Jenna Castro-Kasbon, speech language pathologist, business coach, and creator of the Start Your Private Practice System. And I'm on a mission to turn stuck SLPs into successful private practitioners. If you're tired of dealing with high productivity requirements, high caseload sizes, and low pay, it's time to take control of your professional, personal, and financial life and finally get the freedom, flexibility, and financial abundance that you deserve by working with private clients in your own practice.
Join me here each week as I share tips, best practices, and inspirational interviews on the Private Practice Success Stories podcast. If you're a private practitioner or one in the making, you're in the right place, so let's get started.
All right, so before we dive in, can you please share your name, your location, and the name of your company? My name is Stephanie
Claremont. My location is Outside of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The leverage practice is my business.
Yeah. I love it. So, Stephanie, you and I got to know each other like on Instagram and we both support therapists who are also business owners. Can you kind of introduce yourself and tell our listeners about your professional background and then how you got started supporting therapists in building their businesses?
Yeah, oh my gosh, and don't we all have a story? Couldn't that take like four days? Let me let me try to slim it down. So I mean, as a teenager, I promise it'll be sure. But like I got into nutrition, not necessarily because I wanted to be a dietitian, but because I loved helping people and I loved health and I wanted to help the human race. With like some my finding my place in the health industry. And I actually originally thought I was gonna be an astropathic doctor and then I'm I'm not very good at science, it turns out. Math, yes, but science, no. So I ended up going into school for dietetics and ended up becoming a registered dietitian. I have a master's degree in like public health, which is really funny because I never loved clinical.
So we all get to find our groove in our space for me. I I didn't love the hospital, I didn't love that that kind of part of health and food and nutrition. I loved other parts of it.
