You don't have to do this on your own!
Being an acupuncturist can be a lonely business. Most of us are self-employed and work alone and there are not enough opportunities for live human-to-human peer-support for practitioners.
Mastermind Groups are a close-knit cohort of practitioners who know each other, support each other, challenge each other and hold each other to account. They provide the motivation to raise each other's sights beyond the day-to-day running of a practice, set real goals for personal and business growth and support each other in achieving them.
Naava Carman has been running Fertility Support Training Mastermind Groups since 2019. The alumni of these groups have redefined how they work as practitioners and achieved huge personal growth and business success.
What is the Mastermind process?
The Mastermind process is not like formal teaching and there are no right or wrong answers. The idea is to challenge and support you with exercises, discussions and inspirational materials, which you can take away and use to build your practice. However, being part of a Fertility Support Training Mastermind Group also gives you access to Naava Carman (Rising Stars, Expert & Leaders groups) or Tracy Dyson (Foundations for Growth group) as clinical and business mentors to help you answer questions you may come across.

Foundations for Growth
This group is for practitioners who are still getting established, or have an established practice but are struggling to grow. The syllabus will cover both business skills and clinical skills and the group will act as a sounding board for business development and complex cases.
Rising Stars
Now entering its fourth year and with a track record of success, the Rising Stars Mastermind programme is designed to help practitioners who want to take their practice from "getting by" to sustainable growth and abundance, but are lacking the focus and direction they need.
Experts
This group is for practitioners who have completed the Rising Stars Mastermind programme or a similar process of personal and business development and are looking for peer support as they implement their plans for expansion, passive income and everything else up to world domination!
Leaders
The Leaders Mastermind is an exclusive group for practitioners who are ready to step-up and achieve public recognition as leaders in their field. This is a 6 month rather than 12 month programme designed for those who are ready and able to move forward quickly.
Foundations
for Growth
âž™ Are you feeling dispirited with gaps in your work diary and uncertainty around income?
âž™ Are you clear on how to grow your business or in which direction to take it?
âž™ Would you like support and development for your acupuncture clinical practice and skills?
âž™ Would you like a trusted place to take complex case histories and discuss patient progress?
Our sessions will be fun and informative, a place where you can really grow into who you want to be. We will lay the foundations for a sustainable business and get to grips with the challenging clients and tough cases.
Having been through the Mastermind process myself, I am so excited about helping other practitioners grow and thrive. When I joined Naava's Rising Stars Mastermind, my fertility acupuncture practice was doing ok, but it wasn’t growing in the way I wanted. I had lots of ideas but just couldn’t get them off the ground.
From the first session with Naava and my group, everything just clicked. Before joining the group I never wanted to plan and strategise, but it was so easy within the Mastermind. By breaking things down into smaller pieces everything was possible.
My business took off, I couldn’t believe how everything fell into place. My ideas came to life and my business now fulfills my passion for treating fertility and helping people understand how their hormones work so they are empowered to manage their health. And in doing so my annual turnover has doubled!Â
I can now see that I spent years doing things in a way that actually stopped me achieving my goals. The Foundations for Growth Mastermind Group is all about getting those things right at an early stage so that you and your business are ready to thrive.

Rising Stars
âž™ Do you constantly feel like you need more clients, but have no idea what to do about this in a sustainable way?
âž™ Do you lack confidence in your ability to manage a patient through the ups and downs of their conditions? (Without questioning your worth as a practitioner!)
âž™ Do you always feel you don't have enough time for taking care of yourself, your clients and doing social media?
âž™ Are you surviving rather than thriving?
âž™ Most of all, do you wish you had the support of a mentor or a like-minded group of colleagues to walk you through efficient, effective and profitable practice and patient management?
I am on the look out for practitioners who are ready to rise to the challenge of being Rising Stars. This Group is proving particularly popular and I will launch a new Rising Stars Group once I have a group of four practitioners I feel are ready and will coalesce as a Mastermind Group
In 2019 I launched the Rising Stars Mastermind programme to bring together practitioners who wanted to take their business from doing OK, to bringing in lots of money, opportunities, growth and abundance.
In the Rising Stars Group we build the infrastructure for growth, establishing productive daily working practices, and investing in each participant's unique skill set and setting up the right mindset to be ready to step into a financially abundant practice with a rich seam of clients and a waiting list. In addition, every month I share a new skill or challenge to add to the participants' knowledge base.
From previous years' experience, here's what you can expect if you join the Rising Stars:
- You will experience transformative personal and professional growth through which your businesses will grow and develop.
- You will established close working relationships with your fellow participants as accountability partners.
- You will be able to lean on me through The Growth Partnership Facebook Group and with a personal one-to-one session when you most need it.
- Most importantly, your will feel re-inspired by your work which will allow you to take your practices to new heights.
Business and personal growth go hand-in-hand, and sometimes in order to move forward we must look at our mindset in the form of our own limitations and inner talk, which may be holding us back from success.
A vital part of the work we will be doing is supporting each other through any challenges the mastermind process unearths. We will use this opportunity to rise to these challenges and move past our limiting thought patterns and feelings of being stuck in life.
