Many of us entered healthcare to help people — not to hit productivity metrics. What part of your current work feels most misaligned right now?

Welcome — I’m really glad you’re here. Virtual Practice Builders is a space for clinicians, helpers, and practitioners who feel the tension between: - wanting to offer more whole-person care - and working inside systems that don’t allow the time, flexibility, or humanity required to do that well. This community exists because many of us: - feel constrained by 9–5 clinical roles - are burned out by productivity-driven models. - burned out by the insurance and corporate model of care. - want more autonomy without becoming unsafe, ungrounded, or out of scope - are curious about virtual, educational, or alternative practice paths — but want to do this ethical. This is not a hustle space. It's not an influencer space. It's not a “quit your job overnight” space. It is a place to: - think differently about your work and your life - explore whole-person frameworks while staying within standard of care - clarify what kind of practitioner you want to be - design a virtual or values-aligned practice or platform that supports your nervous system How to use this space - Start with Module 0: Start Here - Introduce yourself in the comments below (share as much or as little as you like) - Use the community to reflect, ask career/design questions, and think out loud - Come to live calls with curiosity, not perfection You don’t need to have everything figured out. You don’t need a niche yet. You don’t need permission. You do need honesty with yourself — and that’s what we’ll practice here. I’m excited to walk alongside you. — Alison 👇 Introduce yourself below:• Your role• What feels most stuck right now• What you’re hoping changes by being here

To keep this community safe, ethical, and genuinely supportive, we have very clear boundaries. These protect you, me, and everyone here. 1️⃣ This is NOT a clinical care space This community does not provide: - medical advice - psychiatric diagnosis or treatment - medication recommendations - supplement protocols - lab interpretation - patient-specific guidance Please do not: - post patient cases - ask “what would you do for this patient?” - share identifying clinical details - seek treatment advice for yourself or others If a post crosses into clinical territory, it will be redirected or removed — not as punishment, but as protection. 2️⃣ This IS a thinking, design, and career space What is welcome: - Reflecting on burnout and system limitations - Exploring whole-person frameworks at a conceptual level - Questions about: - Thoughtful discussion about how to practice within standard of care while thinking more broadly We focus on how to think, not what to prescribe. 3️⃣ No legal, licensing, or state-specific advice This space does not provide: - legal advice - licensing guidance - state-by-state regulatory interpretation - You are responsible for practicing within your own scope and jurisdiction. 4️⃣ Respect, confidentiality, and professionalism - Be respectful and curious - No shaming, no superiority, no fear-based messaging - Do not share content outside this community without permission - Assume good intent This is a space for clinicians — we hold ourselves to that standard. 5️⃣ How questions may be redirected If a question moves out of scope, you may see a response like: “That’s an important clinical question, but it’s outside the scope of this space. Let’s zoom out and talk about the framework or career-level issue underneath it.” This is intentional and non-negotiable. Final Note If you’re here, it’s because you care deeply about doing this work well — for your patients and for yourself. These boundaries are what make that possible.
