It was not so long ago that I realised that I’ve been telling clients that I’ve been giving treatments for over 10 years, and that it would actually be more accurate to say that I’ve been giving treatments for 15 years!
A lot has changed in that time, for me, in the world and for my practice.
I’m starting to question some of my habits and practices to see how useful they are to me now.
Something that came to me was to consider my reiki Instagram account.
Anyways, back in the day, starting a small business or offering services, it really did seem like a good idea to join up to Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Well, not Twitter. Instagram allowed you to make a lovely picture of nine posts together, so with some difficulty, I created a grid showing the reiki room and the reiki table.
But after all this time, what I’ve found is that my clients do not find me on Facebook and Instagram. They find me through Google listings, which takes them to the Fresha booking site. The few times that clients have found me through Instagram or Facebook, it’s been inefficient, as I’m not used to receiving communication that way, and I’ve responded slowly.
While I seem to have connected on Instagram to some other reiki practitioners and healers around the world (I have 909 followers), it’s mostly just a polite thing that we are following each other. And I’m just as likely to receive spam.
So, I’ll soon delete Instagram, perhaps in a week’s time. If someone wants to find me, it really is easy to do so through the website. It’s a good thing at this time of my life and work to make things more streamlined, less complex and less busy.
