Have you ever thought about starting a coaching-based private practice? You’re going to love this episode of Private Practice Success Stories! I sat down with Emily Gavin who decided to take the leap into private practice with encouragement from her peers and spouse after being laid off from her job. In this episode, she talks about her journey from SNFs and inpatient rehab to owning her own dementia-focused business. Emily also shares how caring for her mother-in-law with dementia inspired her special interest. Emily’s story is so inspirational and I know you’re going to love it.
