Dig in & get your practice on track.
When you’re building your clinical practice, it’s easy to get bogged down in minutia without making real progress. The Bloom & Grow Private Mentoring Group gives you the support, accountability, and encouragement you need to create a practice that's just right for you.
Cut through the confusion.
If you've been working your clinical practice and you feel like you're spinning your wheels, you're not alone.
Many clinicians start wondering if they're cut out for this when things aren't working.
You just want to help people, but running a practice turns out to be harder than it seems.
There are a million decisions to make.
Should you focus on your website? Start a new program? Teach a class? Make a new freebie?
You're halfway done with all of these, and none of them are as good as they sounded in your head.
Instead of spending more time doing things you don't love, sitting behind your computer and spinning your wheels.
It's totally normal to feel frustrated and to wonder if you should keep going.
You're 100% not alone in this.
Keeping your momentum going in practice is hard because:
Please don't give up.
You are not expected to have all the answers.
You've never done this before, so of course it's a learning process!
Here's how to keep your practice moving forward:
I've mentored hundreds of practitioners. One thing I've noticed is that people who have each of the following in place are MUCH more likely to stay in practice. (It gets easier over time, I promise.)

Hi, I'm Camille Freeman.
I mentor highly-trained herbalists and nutritionists so that we can provide exceptional care for our communities. I've been in practice as a licensed nutritionist and registered herbalist since 2006, working in OB/Gyn offices, a fertility clinic and private practice.
I have a doctorate in clinical nutrition, as well as master's degrees in herbal medicine and physiology. I'm also a professor in the Department of Nutrition at the Maryland University of Integrative Health, where I teach physiology and pathophysiology. Both my teaching and my clinical work are grounded in practical, fun, and common-sense methods that help us understand our work and ourselves more fully.

What Makes Seasonal Mentoring Different
Seasonal Mentoring gives you extensive one-on-one mentoring with Camille. We'll work together to figure out where to focus our energy.
You won't be left to figure things out yourself based on generic trainings. You'll work closely with Camille to design a plan to move your practice forward. You'll have momentum, community
Plan isn't working? Unexpected life changes? Because this work is entirely personalized, and because you'll be checking in with Camille on a weekly basis, we can adapt to changing circumstances mid-stream. You're never behind.
There are dozens of ways to move your practice forward. When we honor the energy the season brings to you and the rhythms of your practice,
Frequently asked questions
We currently meet on Thursdays at 5 pm ET. We will revisit the time when our new group starts in the Spring. All live sessions are optional. Recordings will be available for those who can't attend live.
You can't sign up for 2022 sessions yet, but if you join the waiting list I'll let you know when those seasons become available. Folks who are in the Fall 2021 group will have priority sign up.
No, the only ways to work with me privately for practice support are to either sign up for the private mentoring group or to join Monday Mentoring.
Yes! You can pay for all 6 months at once or pay $297 monthly. If you'd prefer to pay biweekly, please contact me and we'll get that set up. There is no additional charge for payment plans.
If you don't think you will consistently have 2-3 hours per week to work on your practice, please don't sign up for this group. We don't have a trial/test version. You are committing to a full 6 months of mentoring when you enroll. If you need to miss a week for a planned vacation, etc. then it won't be a problem. However, if you're moving, having a baby, in the middle of a busy semester at school, etc. this probably isn't a good time to sign up!
I don't offer scholarships or work-trade for private mentoring. However, if you join Monday Mentoring we have practice management sessions twice monthly where you can get support and mentoring in a group session. Monday Mentoring is a lower price-point and does have BIPOC scholarships available.
If you want personalized/private support as you start your practice, you are welcome to sign up. You might also want to consider my Roots course or the Grow course.
We have room for a maximum of six people in the private mentoring group.
Bloom & Grow supports highly-trained herbalists and nutritionists by providing community and continuing education. This space strives to be welcoming for people who identify as BIPOC and those who are members of the LGBTQ+ community.
