Hello, my name is Jeannie, new member and I live in Durham. I am a Reflexologist and currently doing my Reiki 2 Practioner training. I am about to set up from home and would be interested in chatting to others who have done this. I am also interested in joining/starting a local friendship group for others interested in holistic therapies. Anyone interested?

Nice to hear from you Kate, interesting web site, found by accident. Did it take you long to get clients? I have a number of strategies in mind i.e. designed my own leaflets, as well as distributing them around neighbourhood, the local chiropodist and doctor surgery have said they will let me leave them there. It would beinteresting though to hear how others have developed their business. My son has just started on an holistic therapy course in South Shields!. By the way what is a 'super member'.

Wow, what a small world! I bet he is in my class. There are two men in the class at the moment, so he is probably one of them!
I started my business back in March. I distributed business cards and AOR leaflets to my friends and family and asked them to spread the word. I got my first client (a friend of a friend) a few weeks after that, and since then it has just snowballed. I don't advertise as such, but i have my name in the AOR, and [link= http://www.findareflexologist.co.uk ]www.findareflexologist.co.uk[/link], which ihave had 2 clients from so far (so the fee has paid for itself!)
My website was really easy to set up. I just contacted a web design company and they sorted everything for me. Its been up and running now for about 4-5 weeks and i have had 2 clients from it so far (which i think is quite good!!)
Mainly though, most of my client base is from word of mouth (a really powerful tool).:D

Hi Jeannie,
Welcome to HP !! There are couple of us on here from Durham and a few from slightly further afield. We had a mini North East meet up last Sunday and hope to have another nearer to Xmas.
I hold a monthly Reiki share in Durham the first Tuesday of each month and you'd be most welcome to come along !!!! 🙂
Working from home works well for me (i practice Reflexology, Auricular Acupuncture and Reiki) I can fit work around my young son. Ask away and I'll be glad to help in any way I can.....
