I currently rent two different rooms in two therapy centres. One is in the next town a few miles away & one is a 5 min walk from my house. I cant think about giving up the one in the next town as I do really well there its a very estabilished well run centre and although some of the clients may come to me at home a lot I know wont as it would be a bit far.
But the one thats on my doorstep I started working in early this year and its where I see clients who I used to go to mobile so clients I've known a long time. When I started there I was under the impression it was going to expand & eventually become a large centre with more rooms used as therapy rooms (only one is used at the mo) however I can't see that happening. All the other rooms are used as lodging rooms now and the Front door is permantly locked so potential new clients have to ring door bell & if the owner isn't around and were busy with clients (the room is used by a different therapist every day) then they have to walk away unseen to! So basically picking up any new clients is going to be near impossible.
So do I knock it on the head there & get those clients to come to me? Couple of issues I have is it would have to be my 3rd bedroom upstairs (quite steep stairs) and to get to our staircase you have to walk through our lounge & dining room. The other thing is that my husband & I are now starting IVF so it may not be the best timing however I do find sometimes being in two different centres a bit stressful - 2 sets of pricelists,stock etc & keeping in contact to make sure were all up to date with bookings etc!
So do I stick with it at the centre which is actually now more like room in someones house! or do I make the move & use my room upstairs which will obviously save me money!
Your thoughts would be greatly apreciated!! :lol:
