Did you find physical examination intimidating during your studies, and avoid it at all costs? If so, it’s time to tune in to learn why physical exams are a) not as scary as you think and b) incredibly valuable for you as a practitioner! That’s where my guest Katie Barron is here to help.
Katie is a naturopath and former college lecturer, wife, mum, lover of her 50kg bull mastiff who recently returned from travelling around Australia in a van with said dog and her family.
She noticed that qualified practitioners were completely freaked out by including physical examination in their consultations, and set about creating a system to make it easy for them. Katie ran workshops all over Australia and NZ in 2019, and ran online programs teaching this topic in 2020 and 2021.
In this episode, Katie shares:
Her background and journey into natural health
How she first became involved in teaching physical examinations
Overcoming the nerves of performing physical exams
Cringe-worthy (and rather funny) stories from early in her career
The pivotal point when she designed the career that she wanted
Why building trust with clients is critical
And so much more!
