"I found Kevin when I was at the end of my rope with my limping-along practice: either I had to figure out how to make it work well, or it was time to quit. After our first consult, I thought to myself, 'This guy doesn’t mess around and he doesn’t make me feel like an idiot.' As soon as we started working together, my confidence and enthusiasm levels went way up. It was reassuring to know that the trouble I’d been having getting my business running well was due not to any failing on my part but simply because I – like many others in the healing arts field – just didn’t know what to do.

I wish I’d had Kevin’s help nine years ago when I graduated from acupuncture school, but I’m grateful to have it now. He’s a fabulous person to have on my team, as are the other resources he has brought to me. I’ve done both individual and group coaching sessions and it’s all been very informative and thought-provoking. I’m in a completely different place within myself with my practice, and that is thanks to Kevin’s support, guidance, and radically different approach to understanding what makes us tick and how to bring our heart and joy to this business."

'When I first started coaching with Kevin, my practice was stagnant. I felt stuck seeing 25-30 patients a week. I wanted to my practice to be more developed and stable. Even though I had ideas about what to do, I had difficulty actually implementing those ideas into actual practice. I procrastinated on many things that I knew that would benefit my practice, until the point that I could bear no more and decided to have someone to "kick my butt" to help me move forward.

What Kevin has delivered is far beyond my expectation of what a regular coach would do. He really understands the "spirit" of the practice of Chinese Medicine, which is about how we as practitioners develop ourselves and become more balanced so that it’ll reflect in our practice. He helped me with many issues that I have been struggling with over the years and I have become more comfortable and confident in dealing with them now in my practice. He is a good listener; he offers insightful advice about how to develop my practice which is really tailored to my needs, to the way that I would like to practice. He also provides many useful, pragmatic tips regarding how to develop my practice, all of which have been truly beneficial.

In just a few short months, I have noticed a real growth in my practice. Now I am seeing 35-40 patients a week and I work shorter hours each week than before. I feel more focus and clarity about myself and my practice. Instead of constantly struggling, I now have a sense of ease and effortlessness in my practice.

Thanks so much Kevin, for your kindness, your encouragement, and gentle and firm push when it’s needed.'

"After working with Kevin for 8 weeks and implementing his strategies over the following 12 weeks, my practice grew by 50%! I was already seeing 25-30 patient visits per week, but within a 6 month period this increased to 45-50 visits per week. Kevin is easygoing and a pleasure to work with while getting right to the point and not wasting time. I found his strategies and writing style appealing and orderly with each subsequent strategy building on the previous one’s momentum. I would recommend Kevin’s services to any acupuncturist who is interested in seeing positive growth to their practice."

'When I moved last year to open my acupuncture practice, Kevin was the most helpful resource I found. He was full of information, contacts and advice on how to set up and build my acupuncture practice. Not only did he help me decide where and how to set up shop but once I had begun practicing he was a constant resource for my many questions. Kevin also hosted a monthly acupuncture study group in which colleagues got together to learn from him and ask him questions. Without this support group I would have felt lost many times as a beginning practitioner. Kevin's education, experience, and thoughtful manner lends him to be an excellent teacher and adviser. I am so fortunate to have met Kevin who is graciously guiding me through the first years of practicing as an acupuncturist. Thank you Kevin!'

"Kevin is wonderful! When I moved to Denver last Jan. I was starting my practice from scratch. He gave me a lot of helpful advice. He also saved me a lot of time by sharing what worked for him and what didn't when he was building his own practice. He is very knowledgeable, creative, down to business and energetic. It was great to have someone to help me set goals and stick to them. He is open to customizing the coaching to your specific needs. I would highly recommend working with Kevin to create your dream practice!"

"To my knowledge, Kevin is the only licensed acupuncturist who provides one-on-one business coaching to help other acupuncturists build their acupuncture practices. Kevin is a tremendous resource for the acupuncture community! 

He is uniquely qualified. Not only has he developed his own successful acupuncture practice (in a town that is saturated with acupuncturists), but he has the heart to turn around and help other acupuncturists who are struggling. He offers several different very reasonably priced packages for acupuncturists to choose from. In the world of business and life coaching, Kevin's fees are very reasonable. There is no doubt that if he was offering these business coaching services when I graduated from acupuncture school, I would have invested in them. What I would have saved in time, money, and frustration would have been well worth it. 

I encourage you to look into and invest in Kevin Doherty's one-on-one business coaching services to help you build a strong and lasting foundation for your successful acupuncture practice."

"I was very impressed reading Kevin's ebook Build your Dream Practice and was thrilled to get personal coaching from Kevin. My biggest problems were implementing practice development strategies and overcoming years of burnout and struggle, which had tainted my outlook and destroyed my passion. Kevin’s clarity and combination of psychological insights and business acumen delivered amazing changes in my attitude about my practice and decision making. I implemented one easy suggestion from him and got three new patients with no advertising! I know now that it is OK to be #1 because I am an enjoyable person for my patients and staff and motivated for my business. Kevin’s coaching was the perfect investment for my practice. Thank you Kevin"

GROUP COACHING

"I am very pleased with Kevin's group coaching and highly recommend him for anyone struggling to build a practice. He is effective, highly informative, affordable and very focused. It is the next best thing to having him hold your hand and go out marketing with you."

"Kevin's group coaching class was amazing. He gave so much useful information to help me move forward in my practice. He has so many gifts to offer and is so generous with his time and information. He goes way beyond in his generosity to help you speed the process of building your credibility. I feel so blessed to have found him. I also highly recommend his ebook "Dream Practice" as there are so many gems one can implement. He makes you feel you can do it and provides great tools to move forward in your practice. 

One of the greatest gifts he offers is your ability to co-author and take credit for his amazing ebook "How To Thrive in a Modern World." It is a wonderful tool to share with patients and to put on your website. Many of us are wonderful healers but if no one knows about us we can't practice our beautiful medicine. His tools enable us to reach the people who are hungry for what we offer."
