Regenerative Business Coaching
When you need a whole person, whole practice acupuncture business coach
Thriving in your business is one of the most healing things you can do as an acupuncturist.
When your business flows, it creates a generative cycle of vitality in your life. In your relationships. In your creativity. In your effectiveness. In your health. In your heart-centered potency.
Everything is connected. Your business. Your health. Your relationships. Your vitality. Your creativity. Your potency and effectiveness.
Regenerative Business Coaching for Growth-Focused Acupuncturists
Resourced. Profitable. Thoughtful. Abundant. Ethical.
Growing a regenerative business is a strategy of ensuring that your growth nourishes YOU as much as it serves to help your patients and your team. We do this by establishing practices and systems of support to hold your daily, weekly, monthly, seasonal flow. The foundation of all the work I do with clients is to expand internal capacity, by incorporating a very specific set of skills that resource you as you with navigate growth, change, and owning your potency. With these resources, growth becomes both ease-ful and inevitable.
I’m not a coach that is all about the grind, the growth at all costs, the “killing it”. That’s a yang-depleting method (I’ve been there!). I’m about cultivating deep knowing, wisdom and growth that will serve you and your practice for the long term. My approach blends micro-mindfulness practices with very practical systems, rhythms and strategies to yield a robust practice with a feeling of spaciousness and ease in your daily life. Here are the ways in which we grow your regenerative acupuncture practice:
Marketing
Social media strategy for calling specific patients INTO your practice
Ads strategy (Google and Meta)
Newsletter templates and pacing
Models for reaching out to local healthcare practitioners for referrals

About
Julie Bear Don’t Walk
Growth starts with self compassion
I grew my practice from a one-person show seeing 12 patients a week to a team of eight helping over 150 patients a week, all while growing in my marriage, as a parent, and as a human being. I’m not perfect. I’ve had some really great teachers and mentors, and I’m deeply committed to authentic, genuine growth at the deepest level. To me, that means waking up each day inspired and invigorated to help people heal, and to help others help people heal.
Healing is my thing. Transforming generational cycles of emotional, economic, and cultural trauma is my purpose.
I grew up in a household where suffering was the dominant state of being. My mother grew up with trauma — alcoholism, sexual abuse, being poor, untreated family depression. So naturally, she suffered. She suffered physical pain, mental pain, and tremendous shame. She dealt with it by self medicating with whatever she could get her hands on: drugs, alcohol, sex, and food.
I’m the oldest of six children and I stood in for her when her suffering overwhelmed her ability to be a present parent (her intentions were always good, but untreated trauma has a way of taking the driver’s seat). As a kid, I just wanted to help. I understand that as an adult, my capacity to help when I was a child was pretty limited, but my desire to help others was born of witnessing this kind of overwhelming suffering.
I believe that we have the power to heal, at every level. I believe that we are amazingly capable of shifting things. I believe that we can transcend familiar patterns and realize our dreams. This is my life’s work. And I want to help you shine more brightly in your life. By helping you to help others. By helping you to own your power, do the work you came here to do. By helping you to live deeply, fully and present-ly.
This is my greatest passion. To help. To heal. To make it real.
To facilitate sustainable, real transformation on multiple levels. For you to THRIVE.
I offer experience. I was a busy clinician, with multiple clinicians and admin team members, while also being a committed mother, a present partner and healer, committed to healing her own stuff. I know that sometimes you can see the path forward, but not exactly how to get there. I offer guidance along your path, based upon my training and real-life experience.
In May of 2024, I closed my robust clinic to focus on helping other practitioners grow their practices. This fulfills my commitment to being in the world, which is to help as many people as possible—feel better. If I can help practitioners have thriving practices, I exponentially increase my ability to make a positive impact on the world we live in. In communities near and far. In healing moments all happening simultaneously, raising the vitality of our shared humanity.
This is what I came here to do.
Are you ready for transformation? For having a successful, heart-centered business as an integral piece of your own healing journey? Let’s get to work.
