Estimates for a small start in the UK, not guarantees.

What it is

Remote one-to-one sessions by video call covering areas that work without hands-on treatment, such as nutrition and lifestyle guidance, stress management, breathwork or guided relaxation. It complements, and does not replace, a client's GP care.

Your first three steps

  1. Decide exactly what you will offer remotely and check your qualification and insurance cover that kind of work
  2. Set up a secure video platform, an online booking and payment system and a simple client intake form
  3. Run a few discounted pilot sessions with people you know, then ask for feedback and testimonials
Who pays

People who want wellbeing support but prefer to work from home, live far from a practitioner or have limited time.

How it makes money

A fee per consultation or a paid programme of several sessions, sometimes with follow-up plans, recorded guides or small group sessions.
