  124 | Pricing by the Client's Hourly Rate: A Sliding-Scale Variant

  Sep 15, 20265 min

  I'm sharing a pricing concept I picked up from the Death, Sex, and Money podcast that struck me as interesting/useful. Here's what I cover: Pricing by your client's hourly rate. Instead of a traditional sliding scale, what about pricing consults as a multiple of what your client earns per hour (e.g., one hour or two hours of their pay)? For many people, this feels more intuitive and equitable than a fixed dollar amount, and it reframes the exchange as commerce rather than capitalism. The right message at the right time. Sometimes you've heard a concept before, but it doesn't land until the moment is right. (That's how this pricing idea landed for me this week.) The same is true for your clients. Don't underestimate the power of timing when you're sharing clinical recommendations; you may be the person who finally makes it click for them. Revisiting pricing models. If you've been experimenting with accessibility but haven't found a model that fits, this "unit of time" approach might be worth testing. Referenced: Death, Sex, and Money podcast episode on pay-what-you-want pricing Previous In the Clinic with Camille episodes on pricing: pay from the heart (ep 53) and putting prices on your website (ep 118) I'm heading out to teach my Deep Dive class on omega-3 fatty acids right after recording this, so it's a quick one. Have an amazing week!

  123 | Why Ovulation Matters with Liane Moccia

  Sep 8, 202617 min

  I'm joined in this episode by my colleague and co-teacher, registered herbalist and fertility specialist Liane Moccia, to talk more about the responses to the question, "Are you ovulating?" We cover what signs to look for, how to interpret tracking data (cervical fluid, LH strips, temperature), and why ovulation is a vital marker of hormonal and overall health even when someone isn’t trying to conceive. We also discuss practical intake phrasing, common misunderstandings, and introduce our Menstrual Health Intensive: a physiology-focused course with live teaching and case observation groups for clinicians who want to support clients experiencing menstrual health concerns. Key Takeaways Many clients have never been taught to recognize ovulatory signs/symptoms Cervical fluid is a reliable, free marker of rising estradiol, though some clients may mistake it for infection Having a baseline understanding of ovulation before perimenopause makes later changes easier to interpret and may reduce the need for expensive testing Clear, specific wording on intake forms prevents misinterpretation The luteal phase length and confirmed ovulation timing help us place premenstrual symptoms accurately on the timeline Links referenced in this episode: Liane's website: https://lianemoccia.com/ Liane's book, The Herbal Fertility Handbook: https://lianemoccia.com/book/ Menstrual Health Intensive: https://www.camillefreeman.com/menstrualhealth/

  122 | The "Normal" Menstrual Cycle: When to Refer and When to Support

  Sep 1, 202610 min

  Let's talk about a "normal" menstrual cycle. What counts as "normal," how can we spot concerning signs, and when does it make sense to consider medical referral or further testing? We'll dive into this and more in this brief episode. For more information and clinical strategies to support clients around menstrual health, join the upcoming Menstrual Health Intensive . Key Takeaways Bleeding longer than 8 days warrants referral for possible clotting issues, fibroids, or other concerns Heavy menstrual flow is often subjective, but if it interferes with daily life or causes soaking through protection, refer for assessment A stable luteal phase is a good sign; significant variation may indicate something else is going on Many clients were never taught basic cervical fluid physiology - this is valuable clinical information to share Reference Bahamondes, L., & Ali, M. (2015). Recent advances in managing and understanding menstrual disorders . F1000Prime Reports, 7, 33. https://doi.org/10.12703/P7-33 Upcoming Liane Moccia and I are launching an 8-week Menstrual Health Intensive for Practitioners starting September 15, 2026 (you can join later!).

  121 | Is your business "hungry" for that course?

  Aug 25, 20268 min

  A Mindful Eating Metaphor It might help to think about this in terms of mindful eating. When you feel the urge to sign up for something, stop and ask: is my practice actually hungry for this? If you've decided newsletters are your main marketing focus and you're specifically hunting for newsletter training - amazing. Dive in. If you're just responding to a sale email, a fear of missing out, or a vague sense that you "should" know more? Take a step back. You might find the urge is actually about avoiding visibility work, not about needing to know this information right now. The "Someday" List When I'm tempted by a program but my business isn't actually hungry for it right now, I keep a running document with the link, price, and details. About 80% of the time, I realize that I don't need or want to do the program right now. It's a "nice to have eventually" versus a "I need to implement this right away and I think this course will help." Programs and classes are almost always offered again later. A Suggestion Before you sign up for anything this fall, ask yourself: Is this a hunger in my business right now? Am I going to implement what I learn, or just collect more information? Am I using learning as a way to avoid the harder work of being seen? We want synergy between what we're taking in and what we're putting out. Make sure there's a balance between the two.

  120 | Substack for Clinicians: Why I don't recommend it

  Aug 18, 20269 min

  I've gotten several questions lately about whether or not I recommend Substack to clinicians who want to start a newsletter to help promote their clinical practices. TLDR: it's  not the best tool for the job.  In this episode, I spell out why I don't think herbalists and nutritionists are well-served by using Substack as a way to promote a private practice.  Essentially, it all boils down to:  It's not designed for promoting services, classes, workshops, etc. and it shows.  It's free, which is great, but you do pay in other ways - for example, in control over you readers' experience.  Support is basically nonexistent.  I go into a few other reasons in the show, but these are the big ones. Go ahead and use an email service provider that's designed for the type of promotion we do when we write a newsletter. I use MailerLite, but there are tons of great options with similar features.  For more on writing newsletters, check out my book: Write Better Newsletters: Grow your 1:1 practice with newsletters people actually want to read .  And/or join my newsletter for practitioners to get a new note from me every Thursday.  Thanks for being here! - Camille
