Ok ladies - im pretty stuck. i am a holistic health practitioner and want to start my own "practice" of sorts offering nutritional and herbal counseling. the name i really like is eastown center for health and healing. the problem is that right now i dont have a space, and until i build up a client base i will just be traveling around to peoples houses or meeting in public places. so its not a "center" yet. is that title too misleading? i cant think of anything else. i dont want "green" in the title, and nutritional and herbal counseling is a mouthful. i want something that sort of embodies my philosophy of change by increments, not starving yourself or feeling deprived of the things you love, buy enjoying food and making a lifestyle change that is fulfilling. any ideas? i dont have a business tag line, either, some sort of slogan. any suggestions will be considered! thanks!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

As of right now I like Stepping Stones to Health and Healing with the tag line, Setting you up for success with obtainable goals, one step at a time. Thanks so much for all the recommendations!

I like the name, not misleading. Others:
*Eastown Holistic Health and Nutrition
*Eastown Holistic Health
The part about Nutrition and Herbal Counseling c/simply go in the description or tag line.

It's good that you have put a lot of thought into it because it will matter as you build your brand, what you want to be known for. You are also right in that 'Green' is being overused.

You also have to think about how long the name is for your blog and website, anything too long will not encourage customers to visit. (I know you may not have one now, but think future/long term.) Whatever name you choose how will you be able to shorten it for the website address?

If you aren't blogging, start - use wordpress - it's probably the best for functionality.

I also agree that you should try to barter for space or look for community centers, other health practioners,churches etc that will let you rent for free/low cost.

Give some free seminars to build your clientele as well.

Dear A.,
Good for you for being willing to start a new business. First of all, I would register your name in the county that you are doing business. Just go to the county building and ask to register it, it will probably cost about $10, but well worth it. Secondly, you might want to contact existing therapist and see if you could rent their space on a as needed basis. There are plenty of people out there that I am sure would be interested in working with you. Being in business for several years myself, you need to be careful where you go especially with a beautiful family. If you need any other help with insurance or financial planning, I can help you, just let me know. Best of luck!!!

How 'bout

Joyful Health & Lifestyle Services?
Edible Counseling Services?
Life Steps Health and Herbal Services?

I like 'services' to avoid the 'location' issue. After the Life Steps one, the tagline I thought of is 'walking toward a healthier you...'
