FM / COLLABORATIONS ● OPEN TO NEW COLLABORATIONS NO FEES EITHER WAY

Let's put our audiences together.

If you serve functional, integrative or wellness practitioners too, and you'd rather grow together than compete, let's collaborate. Joint webinars, podcast guest spots, guest content and co-hosted workshops, where we each show up for the other's audience.

Mutual collaborations · No fees either way · Practitioner-focused audiences only

The best introduction to a new audience comes from someone that audience already trusts.

01 / How It Works FOUR STEPS · BOTH SIDES SHOW UP

Simple, planned, and fair to both of us.

STEP / 01

Book a call. We talk for 20 minutes and see whether our audiences are a good match.

STEP / 02

Pick a format: a webinar, a guest spot on your podcast, guest content or your own idea.

STEP / 03

Agree on the promotion. Who emails, who posts, and when, written down so nobody guesses.

STEP / 04

Run it, then share the replay or link with both audiences.

02 / Who's a Good Fit SAME PRACTITIONERS · DIFFERENT PROBLEMS

You serve the same practitioners I do. You just solve a different problem.

03 / Ways to Collaborate SIX FORMATS · OR YOUR OWN

Pick a format, or bring your own idea.

C / 01Joint webinar or workshop+

We co-host a live session on a topic both audiences care about. Each of us promotes it to our own list and channels, and we both share the replay afterward.

C / 02Podcast guest spot+

I join your podcast as a guest, and I promote the episode to my audience on Instagram, YouTube, Substack and email.

C / 03Guest content+

A guest post for your newsletter, blog or Substack, and one from you for mine, written for the other person's readers.

C / 04Instagram Lives and co-created posts+

A live conversation or a collaborative post that shows up on both accounts at once.

C / 05Resource swap+

We each share a free resource or recommend the other's work to our audience, where it genuinely helps them.

C / 06Your idea+

Have a format in mind that isn't listed? Bring it to the call.

04 / What I Bring AND WHAT I ASK IN RETURN

What I bring to the collaboration.

In return, I ask for the same: promote it to your audience, show up prepared, and share the replay.
